Fabinho wins it for the poor Liverpool in Burnley

10 goals in 4 matches. That’s how much Liverpool scored in 2022. The Reds scored at least 2 goals in all four games and they were even better in the FA cup matches in between. And the match up against Burnley, who scored 2 times in their last four Premier League was ideal on paper. And Liverpool fulfilled the task, added three points and kept the distance with Chelsea to 7 points, but it was a hard won game, and maybe even undeserved as Burnley put up a real fight but simply missed too many chances: Burnley – Liverpool 0-1.For the first time, Thiago, Fabinho and Keïta are all on the pitch together for Liverpool 🔴 pic.twitter.com/0RmZ2O4qFM— B/R Football (@brfootball) February 13, 2022 Jurgen Klopp will be happy only with the result, but not with the display, certainly not ahead of the knockout tie with Inter in the Champions League. The German tactician came to Burnley with the strongest 11, but if somebody who doesn’t know anything about football was watching the game, he would have thought that Burnely is the second in the Premier League and vice versa. The Clarets had a magnificent 25 minutes when they crushed the Reds and created a number of really good chances which they had to use, but a mixture of near-the-post misses, last second clearances and some good Allison saves kept Liverpool in the game. The only real good chance for the Reds before the opening (and winning) goal was when Naby Keita had a great shot but Pope saved the goal. On the opposite end, Weghorst has a couple of chances while Brownhill’s bomb from 20 meters was brilliantly tipped by Allison. But, in the end, it was Liverpool who scored the only goal, and they were lucky a bit. Fabinho took a shot and was blocked by Pope, but the ball went straight back to the Brazilian, who was the fastest to put the ball into the net in the second attempt. Liverpool didn’t do much in the second half either. Off course, the Reds had possession as they did in the first half, but produced 0 shots on target. Even in-form Diogo Jota, who was benched for Salah and Mane was not able to score the secong goal when he came in for the Senegalese. Liverpool have scored in the last 15 minutes of the game in three out of their last five Premier League games this season, but tonight was not the night. They will have to do much better against Inter on Wednesday.
