Liverpool have a potentially tricky game against early-season giant-killers Burnley on Saturday, and after the club’s below-par start to the season, anything other than a win is unthinkable…isn’t it?
There are no easy games in the Premiership, but any team that is serious about winning the title MUST beat teams like Burnley at home.
Last season, Liverpool suffered damaging home draws against the following teams:
Stoke City
Fulham
West Ham
Hull City
All of the above were eminently winnable games, and failure to achieve wins cost Liverpool the title. This weekend’s Burnley game is no exception - a draw or defeat could, even at this early stage, be fatal to the club's title ambitions.
Liverpool have better players individually; a stronger squad; a more experienced manager AND the advantage of playing at home. And even if some players do not perform at their optimum level (which has been the case several times this season), Liverpool STILL have enough quality to win the game.
The fact that Burnley beat Manchester United and Everton is irrelevant, and should not be used as some kind of excuse if Liverpool fail to win, i.e. ‘But they beat Man U and Everton, so a draw is acceptable under the circumstances’.
A draw is not acceptable! Nothing but a win will suffice . Fans should demand a win and be unforgiving of anything *but* a win.
Am I wrong?
