Liverpool –
Juergen Klopp was really upset with Liverpool’s performance when offset by Burnley. If only the Reds did not waste opportunities, big wins could be achieved.
Liverpool continued their work in the 35th week of the English League by entertaining Burnley at Anfield on Saturday (11/07/2020). Liverpool needed victory to keep the chance of breaking Manchester City’s 100-point record.
In addition, Liverpool also want to maintain a perfect record at home this season after winning 17 previous matches. In the first half, Liverpool will likely be able to defend it when pressing Burnley and continue to lead 1-0 thanks to goals from Andrew Robertson.
Moreover, Liverpool have a good record by beating Burnley in the last five meetings. But, in the second half, Burnley got up and troubled Liverpool with their counterattack.
In the end Liverpool goalkeeper who escorted Alisson Becker also broke when Jay Rodriguez released the first time kick in the 69th minute. Liverpool goalkeeper almost broke again even if kicking Johann Gudmunsson at the end of normal time did not hit the crossbar.
Until the match ended 1-1 score remained and Liverpool failed to record a new record as the team that won all season home games. The last time to do so was Sunderland in 1891/1892, when there were only 13 home games a season.
After the match, Klopp could not hide his surprise regarding Liverpool’s failure. Though Liverpool has 23 attempts, nine on target, but failed to win. This is the first time Liverpool have failed to win after December 2017, 23 attempts vs Everton.
“It was a very good match, but we made too much room for Burnley and we should have been able to finish early. We could have scored two, three or four goals at least,” Klopp was quoted as saying by the BBC.
“This is our fault because we should have been able to win the game sooner, but it wasn’t done. Burnley were so tough at staying in this match and they had two attackers who were always looking for the ball. It was an intense period and we had to suppress them in the end, but it was also dangerous “That’s why you have to be able to maximize opportunities,” he continued.
“But we finally only got one point and that’s not what we wanted,” concluded the manager who has been handling Liverpool since 2015.
