Liverpool fans had a torrid afternoon, as they saw their side lose 2-0 to Burnley at Turf Moor in their second game of the season.
Jurgen Klopp’s side spent the entire game playing in front of a resolute Burnley defence, who brilliantly defended first half strikes from Sam Vokes and Andre Gray.
Liverpool laboured despite enjoying a, frankly, ridiculous 81% of the possession.
They had 26 shots to Burnley’s 6.
The Reds even had five shots on target despite the fact that Daniel Sturridge had one of his poorest ever showings in a red luminous yellow jersey.
Burnley had one corner, Liverpool had 12, but could not find a way past Tom Heaton, Stephen Ward et al.
You can use stats to prove anything, except the stuff that counts.
