Observations from Liverpool's loss to Burnley
Same shit different season. It wasn't supposed to be like this, a full Jurgen Klopp pre-season was supposed to get the Reds in the right frame of mind to blitz the Premier League.

Clean Sheets Don't Hide The Dirt in Defence for Liverpool
"Just because everything is different doesn't mean anything has changed" - Irene Peter.Defensive frailties have been at the forefront of Brendan Rodgers' reign as Liverpool manager so far.
