Welcome dear listener to First State Kopites. The podcast of the Premier League Champions and current league leaders. This is a review of Burnley away last Sunday. I’m Paul and today I am joined by Daz.
Focus mainly on Burnley - 3 talking points:
Were we lucky? xG of 2.65, OK not all great shots
And the Red Card…
Was the Burnley approach a surprise that we didn’t quite figure out
5-4-1 with a discipline I’ve seldom seen - xG 0.13, 90 passes
Lots of blocks - ‘smothered, smothered, smothered - no clear opportunities.
How much do we think Liverpool have gelled?
45 to 65 lots of control. Wirtz benefiting from no Macca
Did we do enough to move their defence around?
Separate Atletico review pod - we assume you may be listening to this after that game
Elsewhere in the league:
Next 4 games - Everton, Palace, Chelsea and United
‘It will be Amorim’s rotten luck if he makes it to Anfield only to witness the day when Slot’s new side gets fully acquainted with each other’.
We will be back with an Atletico review and an Everton review in the next week. Thanks to Daz for joining me, Paul. And most of all, thank you dear listener for joining us.
