Shortly after the break beep, steam should come out of the boiler! After a meeting between Liverpool’s Fabinho and Burnley-Raubein’s Ashley Barnes, it’s all about the formation of the pack. The referee has the situation under control quickly and yet symbolizes the Reds’ frustration.
At that time, the league has been waiting for a goal for 315 minutes, after the 0-1 defeat at home there are now four games left. And, even worse: it’s the league’s first local bankruptcy in four years! At the time Mignolet was still in goal in Liverpool, Emre Can was playing in midfield, Coutinho in attack.
Divock Origi has the best chance to break the goal curse and save the series at home, but the Belgian puts his shot completely free on the crossbar just before half-time. One hundred by one hundred!
Xherdan Shaqiri’s opportunity is less compelling. After about 20 minutes he cheers up, but his shot goes through the right post. For the second time in a row, Nati’s star is in the starting eleven, as in the 0-0 win over Manchester United in eighth place.
Shaq takes responsibility, kicks corners. But the 29-year-old may not be very successful. A fact that can be applied to all your companions. Neither Mané nor the substitutes Firmino and Salah find a hole in the opponent’s huge defense, Burnley usually has eleven in his own half. Or paraphrasing the English: they park the bus.
And up front, Sean Dyce’s eleven puts a puncture or two. Barnes misses Alisson, but in the 83rd minute the Burnley striker is still the winner, taking the penalty first and sinking it himself.
Liverpool’s depression on goal
Soon after, Shaqiri has to leave the field, Minamino should save what can no longer be saved. Liverpool are still unmarked in their fourth consecutive league game. In all of last season, you were only goalless twice.
And you won 18 of 19 home games. The only mistake back then: a 1-1 draw against Burnley, today’s opponent.
