Burnley 0-2 Liverpool: In game and Post Match discussion

Having Jota back could be huge for the second half push, I just pray to whoever is up there that thats it for his injuries now this year please!

The first goal that was disallowed was a worse decision than the second. Cheating bastrd.

Looking at the mom awards confirms the midfield and forward line we’re poor, the ref was shocking shocking shocking, but we won they had 1shot on target yet we were never comfortable, that said a win is what we needed and got onwards and upwards COYR

The word is OBSCENE. That tw*t of a ref is the biggest crook in a bunch of bent bas**rds

The 2 'goals' we 'scored'. Nunez foot was raised but it was in a fair enough challenge, made minimal contact. Hooper (Spurs) should've sent Tierney to the monitor but he didn't deem it a 'clear & obvious' error. So lost that one.

Second 'goal' turned in nicely by Elliott and disallowed because Mo was in an offside position and judged to be in the eyeline of the keeper. Hooper THIS TIME DOES send Tierney to the monitor, who rules Mo off and interfering and in the eyeline of the keeper.

So 2-0 to VAR.

And Mo was only in that position because he was pushed in there by a Burnley player, so the goal deffo should have stood.

Endo being very good in that position - the more he plays the better he gets.

What was Jürgen interview after the game like I missed it bet he was livid

A lot of these  on field Ref decisions and those referred to VAR, are 50/50 in most cases. But we just seem to be losing 75-80% of them. I'm not into stats, but just seems, if there's a doubt, it goes against us. Conspiracy?

For me the biggest Ref screw up still remains the 'beach ball' goal. Arguably the worst decision in the history of the game.

So perspective- we have lost 1 game this season that was important - and we all know what happened there.
And we are not firing yet

Endo being very good in that position - the more he plays the better he gets.

Yeah, doing well. Not perfect and in his position a misplaced pass looks bad. Receives a pass well and can be positive. Stick with him. Knows his position. Good signing.

Thought the two disallowed goals could have gone either way and if they had been against us then I would expect Tierney to allow the goals but because it’s a decision for us then no surprise that he disallowed them . That’s this referee , he has a problem with us without a doubt .

Endo will never be a proper world class dm because he‘s too short/lightweight. For me he is only a solution until Bajectic comes back to 100% (or Thiago). And make no mistake: I like Endo, his attitude, all good like with Minamino. Both just lacked natural measurements.

If he was he managed his emotions well. He actually didn’t bring up the disallowed goals, it was the interviewer and Klopp just pretty much said he was baffled by it.

Then we had the inevitable feature of a former ref telling us all of the decisions were correct and that the refs just follow the rules as they are written with zero capacity for common sense.

Still don’t think we’ve found our best 11 but with injuries may be hard to do. If we can get everyone playing their best at the same time we will run away with it.  Gotta love being first halfway through though. Especially we haven’t played our best yet.

Nothing to our with our team but finding it really difficult to get excited this season.

Seems that the wins are ruined by the refs and the dropped points are caused by the refs. Not sure the last time I properly enjoyed one of our games.

And Mo was only in that position because he was pushed in there by a Burnley player, so the goal deffo should have stood.

Didn't spot that in real time. On reply, obvious that he was pushed offside or in the eye line of the keeper. As to why Tierney couldn't see that. I suppose you only see what you want to see. And why VAR didn't see the push on Mo.

Yeah I’d say there is far more frustration than enjoyment in the average game for me.

Oh well, at least we don’t support United, 2-0 down not even 30 minutes in to the game.

Makele was 5ft 7 or something

The first disallowed goal. Tierney knew there was no foul. But he knows once he gives it the var won't overturn the onfield decision or ask him to goto the monitor. Its so bent and obvious its untrue.

The refs are really making this game soft

After the 1st goal we were so sloppy in front of goal, but we get the 3pts plus a clean sheet

The first disallowed goal is a joke. No burnley player even questioned it.
The second was 50/50 the 50 because it’s us

After the 1st goal we were so sloppy in front of goal, but we get the 3pts plus a clean sheet

The interplay/understanding between the entire attacking squad has been limited. Not horrendously bad otherwise we'd be with the likes of Newcastle or Man U. or the Plastics. But we need to improve, play the player in quicker, right option etc.

First half could've been 3 up in first 10 minutes. Got to improve in the new year.
