Liverpool vs Burnley - Premier League (20/21 - Game 19)

[Irishnev]

Dortmund had a similar slump with Klopp. Must be the intensity and having to maintain this for so long. Even City now play a slower tempo.

We slowed things down noticeably the last couple of seasons - sprinted less and covered less distance. Maybe the mental edge post title win is off - add in the fact it seems like everything is against us maybe they’re not able to lift it.

Biggest test of Klopp since he’s been here

Klopp out is ludicrous, and it even feels a bit daft to suggest we need an overhaul after bad run of just five games, but I'm starting to think we need to change something and if so I'd start with the front three. Upgrade on Firmino and work back from there.

It’s lack of belief. We just need to play through this. Anyone saying Klopp should go should have their head doing in.

I can’t watch anymore of this, knocking it on the head for a few games. Feels like I should be doing something more productive with my time... especially in lockdown when football is supposed to be an uplifting outlet, not a depressing spectacle leading to miserable evenings..

just seen the origi miss.... get rid simple as

To be honest, the one that worries me most is Klopp... he looks like a man with the world on his shoulders. Don’t believe the hype. We are 6 points off top spot in January in a very weird season. The league is far from over. Yes, we need to improve but we done everything but score tonight. And as for the home record, maybe that duck off our back will help?

Monkey...

I think a few of our players think they are better than they actually are, and can't respond when challenged.

Not for me..I think it's a spiral. It started early on, after villa we wanted to make amends, started the Derby well. Vvd taken out, no justice. Thiago taken out. Goal ruled out. From there its been one thing after another and you can they are all a bit ****ed off. Mentally shot. Klopp is usually like mr motivator, but at the moment he's muttering away to himself. It's not easy, we don't have a solution and they can't just **** off the Dubai for a week to reset.

It will get sorted, and I do think losing the home record will release some pressure. I know if that was me, I'd want to set that right.

But please, sign a defender.

Its so obvious....5 teams out of the top 7 to play now.....near max pts wouldn't honestly surprise me, but it'll mean **** all, because the next game against ****head FC, we'll be back to this.

I dont get why we dont shoot from distance. Plenty of our players can do that. All the teams we face pack the box and make sure we cant pass it through, just shoot and try to create something from a good hit or a rebound. Other teams do it all the time.

But what else is there to do in lockdown? I'd love to swerve it cos it's making me stressed and unhappy, but personally I can't do it, we're in this come rain or shine. We've been badly spoiled and, while I totally understand individuals have to do whatever they need to do, I'll be sticking in there.

We've seen a lot worse than this. If someone had told us, say, 4 years ago, that you're gonna have an incredible run to a CL final, then win the CL the year after, and win the league the year after that only for it all to go to **** the following year, I'd have snapped their hand off. We all would've done. Just gonna try and brush it off and pretend it doesn't matter. It's a bull**** asterisk season anyway.

We need to figure out how to get around 11 men behind the ball football consistently.

I reckon we’ll be better vs spurs..

Because Jose will get his side to play nice open football against us...

erm 7-0 palace since, not having that

as strange as it seems we need to play keep ball in our own half & draw teams out; we are pushing to their 1/3 & they are low blocking with 11 players. the teams patience seems to have gone, as though they are invincible & will score no matter what

We tried, they didn't bite. They're not as stupid as we needed them to be.

We tried loads, especially Shaq, but they all got blocked.

I hope your positivity is infectious

Him being sacked is not even a remote possibility, but him leaving is
