'Graeme Souness Looked Like A Broken Man After Liverpool's 1-0 Defeat To Burnley

News 8:16 AM

Liverpool's crushing 1-0 defeat to Burnley stunned Graeme Souness who looked like a 'broken man' in the Sky Sports studio.

Ashley Barnes' late penalty inflicted Liverpool with their first home Premier League defeat since 2017.

And Souness couldn't believe his eyes as he cut a broken figure following the defeat on Thursday.

Following the full-time whistle, Sky Sports presenter Dave Jones asked the Liverpool legend: "Can you believe what you've seen Graeme?"

The 67-year-old was lost for words before giving his damning assessment of his former team's latest setback.

When he did get his voice back, Souness warned Jurgen Klopp that some of his players look "shot" in a scathing rant.

"This has been coming," he said. "Liverpool have been a shadow of the team we've seen for the best part of three years.

"There wasn't any sparkle tonight, they were flat when they got the ball into the final third and when the time came to deliver, delivery was poor time and time again. They lacked quality all the way through.

"Jurgen has some hard thinking to do. Some of those players look like they are shot.

"There is no sparkle about them. This will be a real test for these players. Jurgen will now find out what he has in the dressing room."

With 19 league games gone, the defending champions sit in fourth-place - six points behind league leaders Manchester United.

What's more, the Reds have failed to score in their last four league games.

Liverpool take on United in the FA Cup on Sunday before resuming their league campaign against Tottenham next Thursday.
