Observations as Liverpool cruise to Turf Moor win
Your team hasn't won 13 straight league games, doesn't have the UEFA Player of the Year at centre-back and aren't the European Cup holders? Can't relate, sorry.
Liverpool cruised to a comfortable win away to Burnley on Saturday evening, continuing their unmatched 100% start to this Premier League campaign.

Liverpool Press Makes Spanish Whine
Liverpool retained top spot with a dominant 3-1 victory over Arsenal at Anfield last Saturday.
Goals from Joel Matip and a Mohamed Salah brace were enough to wrap up the three points for the Reds, despite Lucas Torreira pulling a goal back for the Gunners in the 83rd minute.
A prominent feature of the victory was the efficient, choreographed and intense pressing of Jurgen Klopp's team.
One player, in particular, who felt the full brunt of the European Champions claustrophobia-inducing …

Roberto Firmino could be even better this season
Roberto Firmino has started the season like he means business. It isn’t something Liverpool fans are used to with the Brazilian usually looking off the pace when he returns to pre-season after a summer break.
It’s by no means comparable to a Sunday League player trotting round the pitch after a heavy Saturday night but it’s safe to say Firmino tends to enjoy his summer breaks. He picks up the pace after a few weeks but fans have got used …
Fabinho's influence on the Liverpool midfield
Despite being European champions, Liverpool have a squad full of divisive players. Some are undervalued and some are simply misunderstood. There are a number who tick both boxes and one such player is Fabinho.
The Brazilian doesn’t score goals. He doesn’t assist them either. He doesn’t play 70-yard crossfield passes that are shown on the Match of the Day highlight reel and he’s not the sort to dance past four opposition players before picking out a team-mate. The former Monaco …

So the new Premier League season is almost a week old already and, if I'm being honest, I've got my first moan to have out with the world.
To say that things got off to a perfect start for Liverpool would be a little bit of a stretch - as losing Alisson Becker to a freak calf injury on Friday's 4-1 win over Norwich cast somewhat of a shadow over the victory.
But that aside, it was pretty plain sailing …

A combination of wastefulness and outright misfortune denied Liverpool the early boost of Community Shield success, but still, they could take heart from their impressive performance against their biggest title rivals. Here are the key stats from the season's curtain-raiser:
Liverpool the better side
City edged the first-half but Liverpool controlled the second, and ultimately the numbers suggest they were slightly lucky to claim the silverware.
The Reds enjoyed more possession (53%-47%) and played more passes (555-496) than their opponents …
