Situated on the broadcasting gantry within Anfield\u2019s main stand, Oliver Miller <\/em>offers his view on Liverpool\u2019s Premier League match against Burnley<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Oliver’s view from the gantry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Liverpool wasted a hatful of chances as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Burnley <\/strong><\/h4>\n

The clouds over Anfield were just turning grey and the air was beginning to chill when Jurgen Klopp emerged from the home dressing room, deep within the bowels of the stadium. He smiled, shook the hand of BBC Match of the Day commentator Steve Bower and proclaimed, \u201cIt\u2019s our fault!\u201d After racking up 35 efforts at goal \u2013 the hosts could only take a point away from the afternoon’s proceedings. Klopp was happy with the performance but the result left him with anger. Burnley left with their first league points from Anfield since 1974 \u2013 and in the process spoilt Liverpool\u2019s 125th birthday celebrations.<\/p>\n

Klopp also highlighted his sides\u2019 dominance and fantastic attitude whilst also praising the fluency with which his side had played with \u2013 even though he had made seven changes from the game against Sevilla in midweek. The result, however, could have been even worse had Joel Matip not cleared Ben Mee\u2019s header off the line late on.<\/p>\n

Liverpool dominated the early stages but it was Burnley who took the lead out of nowhere in the 27th minute. Another defensive mishap by Matip and Klavan who failed to deal with Robbie Brady\u2019s flick-on and the ball fell to Arfield on the edge of the penalty area. The Irishman finished well, into the bottom corner of Mignolet\u2019s goal, right in front of the supporters in the Kop who sighed amid another defensive calamity.<\/p>\n

However, their despair lasted only three minutes as Liverpool levelled through Salah, who brought the ball down from an Emre Can pass and smashed it into the net past Premier League debutant goalkeeper, Nick Pope. The suspension of Sadio Mane ushered the return of Philippe Coutinho to the starting line-up and halfway through the first half he began to pull the strings. The Brazilian\u2019s pass released Daniel Sturridge in the Burnley area, he shot and many in the crowd jumped to their feet before realising that the ball had gone the wrong side of Pope\u2019s post. Coutinho certainly seemed eager to exemplify his commitment to the cause after an unsettled summer but, it was fair to say, his shooting radar was not quite calibrated as he fired a number of shots over the crossbar.<\/p>\n

As the second-half developed, the frustration grew – the fact that the loudest cheer of the match was for referee East handing a yellow card to Burnley goalkeeper Pope for time wasting was telling. It was virtually one-way traffic throughout the final thirty minutes \u2013 Coutinho, Can, Milner, Robertson, and Alexander-Arnold all had chances. Burnley \u2013 who were encouraged to play direct and test Liverpool\u2019s defence by Dyche \u2013 stood strong. Although the Clarets almost conceded late on \u2013 a Solanke shot from close range was tipped onto the crossbar \u2013 they nearly nicked it themselves when Mee had one effort headed over by Matip and another saved by Mignolet. There was little room for celebration on Liverpool\u2019s 125th\u00a0<\/span>birthday as their difficult week continued.<\/p>\n

Main Men<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Salah\u2019s performance was one from which Klopp \u2013 and the supporters \u2013 could take solace from. The Egyptian\u2019s speed and direct running provided a contrasting threat to Coutinho\u2019s clever angles and probing passes. Salah had four shots on target \u2013 more than any other player \u2013 but too often he found goalkeeper Pope, who had an impressive Premier League debut, rather than the back of the net.<\/p>\n

A growing concern among the supporters is that the misfiring attack is leading to just as many dropped points as the unstable defence. Klopp post-match corroborated with this line of thinking by stating \u201cwhen you have shots on goal it\u2019s not about their defending\u201d. Sturridge \u2013 who showed his quality at times with clever link-up play \u2013 was too often outside of the penalty area rather than in it where he could do the most damage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
