Tbh they aren’t jammy - Burnley have done absolutely nothing. Nobody can say they don’t deserve to win
They are jammy, they didn't break down Burnley all game, even against the 10 men, and it takes a brain dead handball with 90 seconds to go for them to break the deadlock
The mark of a good side is winning when they're not playing well - that's three wins against Newcastle, Arsenal and Burnley when they really haven't looked very good with Salah, in particular, looking anonymous. Isak will give them a boost but they can't carry on like that if they want to retain the title.

Well, they are. The only difference between them and us is, normal teams like Charlton thrash Leicester but can’t score and lose 1-0. Liverpool thrash Burnley and can’t score but get a ridiculous penalty in the last minute.
I’m just thinking differently around what jammy means.
Yeah Leicester were jammy at our place because we battered them and then scored with their only chance. They didn’t deserve the win.
If Burnley batter Liverpool and then have a goal disallowed, hit the post three times, and then Liverpool go and get a last min pen. Jammy.
Burnley did nothing all game and didn’t even try to win, or do anything of note. Liverpool gotta be a lot better to retain their title with Arsenal looking particularly strong.
But on balance the best side won. The best side didn’t win in our game v Leicester

Yeah, of course. All very valid points.
But I think it’s also valid to recognise that football doesn’t always give teams the results they ‘deserve’. How often do we hear managers bemoan how they’ve not won a game that they’ve dominated?
But with that in mind, I’d go so far as to say Liverpool didn’t ‘deserve’ it today. They were totally dominant, but they were utterly wasteful. Regardless of possession and territory stats, they weren’t denied goals due to repeatedly hitting the woodwork or the goalie having a worldy, they just didn’t threaten the goal enough and kept getting closed down or blocked. As much as they were the better team playing an opponent who were playing a spoiling game, they were ineffective in front of goal. They got away with it due to a brainfart in the Burnley defence. I’d compare it to Millwall and Kayne yesterday. They were fucking lucky our defender had a brainfart. Same goes for Liverpool today.

Should be a straight red, not a yellow
