Liverpool collapse in 2021

Three Premier League games in 2021, zero goals for Liverpool. The streak is even greater if we count from a little further back: in the last five games they have not won any, with three draws in between and only one goal in favor. In total, more than seven hours without scoring a goal.

Jürgen Klopp's men have been wet with gunpowder against rivals with whom they did not expect to score points. They were left against him West brom (1-1), against Newcastle (0-0) and also with the Southampton (1-0), in addition to the draw against a direct rival such as Manchester United (0-0).

And the worst had not yet come. Tonight against him Burnley, in addition to not marking they have also received one, in 82, penalty, converted by Ashley Barnes, which has endorsed them yet another defeat and that, above all, unexpectedly distances them from the rest of the title candidates.

The 'reds' are already rooms but They are six points behind the head, although City can go to seven if they win their pending game. It is Liverpool's first league defeat at Anfield since April 2017. Salah and Firmino, who were substitutes, came to the rescue but they couldn't beat Nick Pope.

Analysts find no answers to the collapse: “Liverpool seem like a team out of shape and without confidence“Jamie Carragher assured.
