Episode notes
Burnley’s Defensive Game Plan Worked
- Burnley executed a disciplined, low-block strategy that kept Liverpool to few clear chances despite heavy possession.
- Liverpool required sustained pressure and late substitutions to finally force a decisive penalty and win.
Possession Without Penetration
- Liverpool dominated possession (about 81%) and shots (27) but only had four on target, showing quantity didn’t equal quality.
- The win came from persistence and targeted substitutions rather than a polished attacking performance.
Replace Booked Full‑Backs Early
- Remove a booked full-back to prevent a potential second yellow and game-changing red card.
- Substituting a cautioned left-back protects the team from tactical targeting and forced numerical disadvantage.
