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. No European distractions and reinforcements arrived in the summer. If there were any positions / areas Klopp wasn't happy with he's...

In a hybrid midfield role, Adam Lallana won the ball inside the Liverpool half near the right flank, and without looking up, instinctively chipped a pass in behind Nacho...

Two Liverpools

How was it for you? I won’t lie to you. I’m still in shock.

Personally, the...

Don’t Bet on a Premier League Dark Horse. This Season Bet Red!
