Match Day Thread Vs Burnley (H)

Is that '2nd phase' stuff still part of the offside rule?

 

Yep, so far from blocking the opposition they just stand their ground and let defenders run past them leaving them on-side for the knock back/second phase

 

Those standing offside to then become active at 2nd phase are tricky ones.

The one that that made me laugh is guy that was offside got passed the ball and ran towards it then dummies it through his legs for someone else to run onto and wasn't given offside for interfering despite the ball being played to him and him dummying it

 

Yes so when you're like a metre offside to start but getting a headstart on the rest of the line moving that's okay

Burnley's players are so far offside they are no longer part of the moving line but form separate distractions that means they are interfering with play, and blocking Mignolet from running out to punch (except when he decided to wipe them out)

 

Even Heston is rolling out the 'one of their only shots on target went in' line despite them scoring from their only shot on target in whole game

 

Yeah if running toward the ball does not look like an attempt to play it then something/one is wrong.

 

Pretty sure Klavan blocked a shot on target

 

I await PGMOL making a public apology and writing to every PL club about it like when it happened to us

 

A blocked shot is not on target

 

Technically doesn't go down as a shot on target on official stats

 

You whining beaut

 

Liverpool get an 'ugly' win
Liverpool beat Arsenal 3-1 earlier this month to continue their impressive form against their top-six rivals - they are yet to lose to any of them this season.

But as impressive as the Reds have been against those teams around them, they have struggled against sides lower down the table, with all five of their defeats prior to Sunday's game against sides in the bottom half.

Burnley beat Liverpool at Turf Moor back in August and initially had the measure of their opponents in this encounter, although they were aided by a lethargic display by the hosts.

Liverpool did not create a single chance in the opening 30 minutes but their first shot on target resulted in the equaliser and their second produced the winner.

It was ultimately a clinical display by Liverpool but too many players had off days. They needed Philippe Coutinho to be at his creative best to unlock a disciplined Burnley but the midfielder rarely made a telling pass while in attack Divock Origi failed to manage a single shot on goal.

The win may not have been pretty but that is something Liverpool have struggled to do this season and Klopp believes a corner may have been turned.

"It's the first ugly game we've won," he said.

"In the end I liked it - this is the kind of game we haven't won and we did."
