Burnley v Liverpool | Player Ratings

Still top of the league? Sound. Up the fucking reds. Burnley are one of those, a bogey team, shithouses. Brexit football. Not anymore for this Liverpool side, they put those stories to bed long ago. Low block sides can’t defend out front three and extra runners for ninety minutes. It just can’t be done. Special shouts to Fabinho and Firmino in that game. Superb. Top of the league. enjoy your weekend. Adrian – 7 Didn’t have that much to do really, Burnley were reduced to half chances and shots outside the box. Wasn’t a fan of his distribution to be honest, but I do admire his save toward the end of the game, a big, big save at that. First clean sheet of the season. Trent – 8 I’m going to ignore the deflection, the fact it was an own goal and that it was probably a cross and just get carried away with the quality of the goal. Called him Trentaldinho on Twitter, just reminded me of when he did Seamen. Only this time the seamen was in my pants when it went in. Matip – 8 Reckon this guy might get the Ballon D’or next you know. He’s in fine form again. Bossed Burnley hoof ball and the Brexit football. Barnes and Wood didn’t have much of a chance. Virgil – 8 Would like to take this chance to personally congratulate the best footballer in Europe on his award. Virgil, if you are reading, we all love you. Bossed it all in the air today. Headers are food and drink to this guy, his head is like a tractor beam to the ball, why did Burnley fucking bother? Robbo – 8 Usual self today Robbo, up and down that wing like a YoYo yet again this fella. Tireless running, gets stuck in and his ball delivery is exceptional. Fabinho – 9 Having this guy from the beginning of the season is going to be crucial, he knows his place and he does it fucking well. He dominated the midfield and he allows others to get forward. Having his technical ability, aggression and go, go gadget legs are vital when playing against Brexit football.

Gini – 8 Tremendous again, covered huge amounts of space, helped out the defence as well as making runs from deep which takes opponents out of their place. Hendo – 8 Superb again from Hendo, the engine along with Gini. Grafted his arse off again and put in one hell of a shift. Always gets tarred with doing the dirty work but he doesn’t care. Bobby – 9 What can this guy not do? My favourite player and has been for a while. Helps out the midfield, tracks back, does fancy flicks and shit, is selfless AND he got a goal and an assist. Salah – 9 Relentless yet again. We have to talk about the Mané thing. Yes, he should have passed. But, is it a bad thing he wanted to score? Has so much to his game – can cut inside, shoot from range and he could have scored. Good save from Pope to be fair. Mane – 9 Listen, the guy has a right to be pissed off and I like it. He want’s to score, he wants to win. That isn’t a bad thing. Keep it behind doors next time but you can’t control passion. Took his goal well. The race for the Golden Boot is already on.

Subs Ox – 7 Great to see him get more game. Was concerned to see him in this game with the way Burnley like to tackle. But he is looking sharper each game. Just hope he doesn’t get injured in the International games. Origi – N/A Only played five.   Shaqiri – FUCKING HELL, HE’S ALIVE!!! No rating. Just happy he’s alive. Only came on with five to go! Let me know your thoughts on the game below! Enjoy your bank holiday weekend! Ross – @rossic89
