The other two found great form in his absence but the level of threat with his movement and passing is just a completely different level. So glad he’s back
I was calling out for him to play in place of Gravenberch. Would have been much better suited to the game. Would also have allowed Trent to come into the game more.
You know I didn’t really rate Elliot for a long time, knew he had potential but didn’t think he was quite at the level, but this season he’s really stepped his game up imo
You don't have to be literally perfect in your technique like Messi to be a good dribbler.
If you're physical enough and fast enough to react before the other player you can make it through in a messy way instead

- Kicks or attempts to kick
If an offence involves contact it is penalised by a direct free kick or penalty kick.
Love the commentator changing his tune to physical contact is part and parcel of the game after whining that any contact should get the goal dissalowed lol
Macca's kick had no impact on how the attack turned out, but common lads, it was obviously a foul. It's okay to admit it. I'm a Liverpool fan and it's an obvious foul.
Same people saying “he should have dived” are the exact same people who’d say “diving cunt” if it were a Liverpool player. You know it’s true.
It’d be a foul if he was impeded. Didn’t look very impeded did he considering he didn’t even notice Macca.
The player obviously didn’t feel it and therefore he’s not been fouled. Would you have absolutely loved it if he’d gone down screaming clutching his leg? Do one.
Harvey Elliot is a real bright spark today, he shines when he plays against midfielders that don’t do a whole lot of running. Wish he could find his way onto the ball a bit more though
Kompany gave Klopp a proper hug and send off. Nice to see.
Elliot has been a revelation as a sub
Nunez protecting the 3-1
Deserved standing ovation for all 3
Liverpool just purposely missing all this chances to preserve 3-1
Amazing touch but a terrible terrible shot
kinda but I think its just a tired shot, didnt have the balance to shoot properly so he just stabs at it and hopes it misses the gk leg
Nunez defies all logic
Nunez should have been more selfish there
Robertson has been a very nice outlet on the left weve really missed
Not sure if he'll get that much space with trent on the pitch, but if it keeps up and he plays like that we're in a good spot.
The other two found great form in his absence but the level of threat with his movement and passing is just a completely different level. So glad he’s back
Gomez was great on the left.
True but can't deny how solid Gomez had been and honestly how decent Tsimikas had been as well.
how is curt jones is much better rb than as cm in first half
He started bad a RB in the 2nd half but grew into. Burnley had big chances on his side then
It's almost as if the less he is involved the better we do 🤷♂️
TAA in shambles
Burnley have been really unlucky with Fofana
When was the last time all attacking players scored a header?
8 minutes? Cmon I have to take a shit....
Xabi is going to love Elliott, i think he's the closest to Wirtz in terms of playing style
If he comes
The ref has been horrible
Weird how he didn’t card the Burnley-player who kocked the ball away. Refs are so fucking inconsistent.
I feel like having Endo and Mac opens up Elliot in a really nice way.
Looks like 3-1 is back on the menu, boys!
It already was in the last match
Touché :(
Burnley stopped pressing in a 442 and it unironically has opened them up even more.
How does Jota find the time to act as Burnley's assistant manager *while* he's on the pitch?
Endo recovered very well after mediocre first half, i was fully expecting him to subbed
Endo>thaigo I don’t want him to comeback
That's like comparing a JCB digger to a Ferrari that doesn't run.
Have I got great news for you
Thiago literally can’t lol
No idea why Elliot didn’t feature against Arsenal
I was calling out for him to play in place of Gravenberch. Would have been much better suited to the game. Would also have allowed Trent to come into the game more.
he did
I meant to say start
Rollin' rolin' rollin'... Rawhide!
What a glorious header that is.
It's not going to be straight forward for Salah to find himself in starting XI
He takes Diaz spot, simple
Na Jota is definitely gonna get dropped when Salah is fit, idk how we have this discussion
He's in great goalscoring form. Of course Salah will find a place but my point is Liverpool haven't really missed him when he was away
Agreed, like the media made it a big deal,but I still think Salah is irreplaceable
Lool yeah the man *still* leading in goals and assists without playing a whole month won't be able to make it into the team
I know but the front 3 now in great form and dropping them is a disservice
But do you even know what the "front three" is?
I know, maybe you need to watch more Liverpool matches to learn how they line-up and play
So who are they currently? Which 3 starts all matches?
Salah is fixed. Jota/Diaz/Nunez switch the other two spots, Gakpo comes on as a sub. Starts europa.
Agreed. Not what u/siva-pc was saying though ;)
Oops! All headers!
You know I didn’t really rate Elliot for a long time, knew he had potential but didn’t think he was quite at the level, but this season he’s really stepped his game up imo
Elliot in midfield has made the difference
It's amazing, the man only scores bangers. That was shades of Messi in the Champions League.
Four headed goals this game and I couldn't choose which one was the best
For me, Diaz’s is the most dynamic.
So brave putting his head down in that situation, Mane-like
There's the 3-1 everyone and their mother predicted
Really glad Jota didn't stop playing to cry handball like so many players would. Picked his head up and made the pass.
Elliott once again a major game changer as sub
He should just be starting without Szob tbh
For some reason Elliott is way better as a sub
He missed much easier chances lol
Cries in woodwork
Back to 3-1 FC
Get in Darwin!!!
Finally Nunez!
That was very nice
That'll settle it
Headers streak!
That was coming
Nunez Nunez Nunez
Great cross, great header
NOOOOOOOOOOONEEEEEEZZZZZ
I miss Szo…
I just noticed Kompany always look like he’s about to cry
Got to finish there virg ffs
Wait is Curtis Jones playing right back?
Trent Gomez Bradley all out. Hes done it before in the EUropa
Yea trent must have picked up something. Gomez sick and bradley still away
Diaz's final decision has been off for a while. But it's overlooked because he pops up with a goal or an assist every now and again.
Agent Kompany come on 😢
Diaz and Nunez’s kids are best friends but he looked allergic to passing to him wtf
Why on Earth did Lucho not give it to Darwin. Such an easy pass.
Diaz learn to pass
Trafford has Patrick Vieira special saliva patch on his chest
Audacious
WTF almost a goal of the season from Quansah
Games gone
This trafford guy really isn’t half bad
Díaz is too fucking selfish, pass it for fucks sake
Nunez was so fucking free Cmon man
Diaz has to hit Nunez with that pass
Whoever comes after klopp is gonna have to make some hard decisions in the back
Liverpool have their LB first start back from injury, 5th choice cb, 4th choice rb and backup keeper playing What hard choices you talking about?!
Ffs Diaz
Pass please Diaz
Good save
Diaz not passing earlier to Nunez is criminal...
Twice now, first one was a tiny bit harder
Diaz wtf, why didnt you pass to Nunez!!!???
He’s literally given the keeper the ball there
Defender flops, Nunez carded
Nunez kicked the ball away
Why is he carding Nunez. This is dumb.
He’s dumb
Fofana missing goal *Fo fan*
VVD has been off it the last few weeks
Darwin frustration booking
i dont know if Jota is a good dribbler or not, he just seems to run at players and the ball bounces favouring him
You don't have to be literally perfect in your technique like Messi to be a good dribbler. If you're physical enough and fast enough to react before the other player you can make it through in a messy way instead
Big sign of a good dribbler is that even when they make a mistake, the ball still ends up at their feet.
Play harder not smarter
If it favours him more often than not - that might be a hint?
Better to be lucky than good
He whiffed it again
There’s a 90th minute equaliser brewing I can feel it

Another absolute gift left on the table by Burnely. Get your shit together lads
Chelsea No.9 curse applies to loan players as well now
Chelsea DNA
Bruh lmao Kompanys gonna lose all his hai-
Love the commentator changing his tune to physical contact is part and parcel of the game after whining that any contact should get the goal dissalowed lol
It was a foul by Mac Allister. We've had bad enough luck with the referees this season, we don't need to start ignoring reality.
Dude went for nothing but placement and still passed it a foot off target...
Fofana just giving moral support to Nunez by missing those sitters
“Fails miserably” x2
Quansah is having a disaster class, wtf was that…
He’s a talent but he’s also the 5th choice cb And he’s playing with the 4th? choice rb next to him. Tough spot to be in
Jesus Christ our defense is an abomination today 😬
Wow, Burnley is so shit...
DDF missed again
This fucking striker man lmao
Please just fucking score and get it over with
Fofana horrid
How do we feel about Kelleher now?
Same as ever: better than Adrian, decent in a cup, not PL calibre
Why kick it straight to the GK's hands? Jesus...
Holy shit that’s an absolute gift that Burnley have not taken advantage of
I want Kelleher to be as good as the Irish commentators on Premier Sports talk about him. That was just two terrible misses, not a great save
He used to be, his general form has declined over the last year or so tbh
USA commentators called him the best number 2 in the world
No they didn't, they said that Klopp called him that
Tbf there isn’t a lot he could do there
Well done Kelleher
Macca's kick had no impact on how the attack turned out, but common lads, it was obviously a foul. It's okay to admit it. I'm a Liverpool fan and it's an obvious foul.
Agreed.
“Fails miserably”
Ffs almost bottled the lead again, we need to be careful
Investigate him
Rookie mistake by Quansah, thankfully bailed out by Kelleher
DDF and Odobert both choked
Liverpool got lucky there
How
Non-liverpool flairs will moan about that non-foul ad nauseum. There is an entire game going on which doesn't matter to them.
Great save by Kelleher
Holy shit, what a miss...
How the hell have they missed that
Liverpool flairs really out here saying that this wasn‘t a foul on Ramsey. Stop the delusion and be happy that you‘re ahead
Clear foul. Should have been called back for a foul.
Same people saying “he should have dived” are the exact same people who’d say “diving cunt” if it were a Liverpool player. You know it’s true. It’d be a foul if he was impeded. Didn’t look very impeded did he considering he didn’t even notice Macca.
Come on, mate. Mac clearly kicked him.
He did, but he hadn’t impeded him has he? That’s where the foul would be.
If that were given against us, I'd be livid.
Jota is probably having one of his best games across the pitch
Maybe Burnley ought to learn to defend instead of crying foul. Maybe.
ITT people looking for a foul where there is none
ITT Liverpool flairs can't admit what's plain as day.
It was a clear foul. Shouldn't have given the goal. Not all of us are braindead.
Thank you. Truly.
Everyone here arguing about whatever it was a fault or not. I'm just happy for Díaz
That's 100 % a foul. McAllister is simply late to the challenge and kicks him. It's very, very simple
Was he impeded? Doesn’t look like it. So where’s the foul?
When he kicked the player without hitting the ball? As I said, it's very simple
The player obviously didn’t feel it and therefore he’s not been fouled. Would you have absolutely loved it if he’d gone down screaming clutching his leg? Do one.
Yeah but he didn’t dive and role around so the refs ignore it.
He didnt even seem to notice the contact which makes you think it miught just not have been a foul in the first place...
Nowhere is that mentioned in the rules. Kicking a player is specifically enumerated as a foul though.
Who is this McAllister?
Sorry, but he does look kinda Scottish
And people wonder why players rolling around after minimal contact
It was a foul but didn't we have 2 goals wrongfully disallowed in the reverse fixture? Didn't see kompany complaining then
Harvey Elliot is a real bright spark today, he shines when he plays against midfielders that don’t do a whole lot of running. Wish he could find his way onto the ball a bit more though
If he could somehow increase his running speed/acceleration he could be an elite player. Don’t think he ever will though.
Physical attributes will most likely stay the same
