Macca's never at his best when he comes back from South America. Bench, at best. Save him for Atletico and the derby. Two games a week now until November - Macca should never play more than 3-in-5 at most. Pray that we don't lose a CB.
CHRIS SUTTON HAS GONE FOR COMFORTABLE AWAY WIN 0: 3 Turf Moor, 14:00 BST The big question is will Isak start this game now he is finally a Liverpool player? I will answer that straightaway - no, so don't get him in your Fantasy teams just yet. Isak will be brought off the bench for his Reds debut at some point, but I don't think it will be a case where Liverpool will need him to change the game. Burnley will be looking to keep them quiet and also carry a threat. They gave Manchester United a good game last time out, but stopping Liverpool is a much bigger test. Arne Slot's side have not really got going yet this season, but they are still top and have won three out of three league games. That's a great sign for them, and ominous for their rivals - I always felt when I was a player that if we won without playing well, you knew there is more to come. It's the same with Liverpool at the moment. Sutton's prediction: 0-3 Tommy's prediction: I just think this is going to be so one-sided. 0-4 AI's prediction: 0-3 JONES KNOWS BEST HAS GONE FOR NARROW AWAY WIN 0:1 These newly-promoted teams at home are going to be bigger forces to be reckoned with than last season. Ipswich, Southampton and Leicester only won five home games between them while the new boys are already at four wins combined from just five matches. Burnley at Turf Moor can make this scrappy and fiddly for Liverpool. Scott Parker's team are unbeaten in their last 24 home league games and although that run is likely to end here, there will be positive vibes with the players likely to feed off the fact they're very used to winning games in front of their own supporters. Despite Liverpool's perfect start results-wise, it has been clear they've struggled to find their flow and that stodge may just continue for another week due to the international break limiting time on the training pitch for Arne Slot. The Reds beat Leicester, Wolves and Southampton twice across all competitions by a one-goal margin last season on the road. It's 11/4 with Sky Bet to happen again at Turf Moor. SCORE PREDICTION: 0-1
Curtis Jones is injured and won’t be available against Burnley. I would like to see a game we controlled properly, no daft goals conceded and a good win. But going on the first three games of the season, well, who knows
Ali Bradley Konate VVD Kerkez Szobo Grav Salah Wirtz Gakpo Ekitike No need to rush Mac back as always struggles after internationals and Bradley / Frimpong should be able to do at least 45 mins each
Back in training....... https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/training-photos-liverpool-squad-regroup-and-set-sights-burnley
Surprised hasn’t rested Mac with both right backs available from the bench. I guess hope game is won by 45/60 mins and take a few off and give Bradley/Frimpong some minutes.
based on the fact all our first choice 11 are playing today mind you the it probably applies more to the Derby
Apart from Frimpong/Bradley Atletico also played their first choice 11 as well and have to travel so not sure really makes a difference? Away to Promoted team just after internationals 3 games into season Is a dangerous time to start rotating half your team?
Wasn't above it. Really they are aiming for vvd but it was about 2 inches too high for either of them.
