liverpool out...

[hitmanuk2k]

1-0 defeat at burnley. well theres one of the favourites gone! according to bbc website burnley had 67% possession!

[LiamK]

Just wait til you see the own goal!

[kallum]

Shame on Rafa...he took Burnley...and the FA cup for granted.

[Damo7]

We deserved all we got. Rafa doesnt realise what the FA cup means to us fans. The side he put out was a big risk. As for Traore's own goal...the bloke is a clown and not fit to wear any premiership teams shirt!!!!

[Nturtle]

The gamble didn't work out at all then. And to lose out on an own goal....ouch!

[cracky]

pathetic liverpool.....

[nath_scfc]

What an own goal. He'd fit in well down here! Now for Exeter, come on at the Real St James' Park!

[Harry-Kewell]

It's disappointing, the way we lost, with the own goal but I don't blame Rafa for persisting with the youngsters because it was the same reserve side that beat a strong Tottenham and Middlesbrough side not so long ago. Injuries to key players didn't help the cause. I'm sure Rafa would have picked a strong 11 but with injuries too Kirkland, Josemi, Finnan, Alonso, Kewell, Smicer and Cisse, of which 5 are first team players, it wasn't worth taking the risk. Our priorities lie elsewhere. As a consolation, at least the youth players are getting the chance to prove themselves. Some of them have already played more games under Benitez, than they did the whole time when Houllier was in charge.

i couldnt believe the performance by liverpool its the worst i have ever seen them play. ur right not to blame rafa harry-kewell hes a quality manager he wont let liverpool down. He will bring trophies to liverpool.

[Stella Artois]

I enjoyed taking the absolute piss out of my friend for 3 hours today at college.

I just love Djimi Traore now.

[fern-ass]

what the hell was djimi traore doin. i haven't been taken the piss out of much today which is bit surprising as it was a disapointing result

[Scarface]

As for Traore's own goal...the bloke is a clown and not fit to wear any premiership teams shirt!!!!

That was a terrible mistake, but don't you think Traore has been quite good this year?
I have seen him only in highlights the majority of the time, so you probably know more than me about how he is doing, but he seemed to be having a good season.

[stix 81]

traore showing off hahahahaa

[Tenacious D]

I think Liverpool played terrible but IT WAS not RAFA'S fault. Yes if he put out a better side than Liverpool proberlly would have won but the side he did put out were capable of beaten burnley at least 2-0 in reality, the pitch wasn't that good but there are no excuses.

[Cannon ball]

Does anybody have a video of the own goal?

[Dan]

i would like to see it, yet to see it, but have heard so much about it:( got tortured at school

[ChelseaDave]

All i can say is: What a turn by Traore, lovely bit of skill.

better then henry hey :rolleyes: it has to go down as one of the worst or best finishes ;)

[LiamK]

Think of how Zidane traps the ball while turning 180 degrees at the same time. When he rolls the ball under his foot while turning the other way.

Traore did that, except in the direction of his own goal, and couldn't control it after he'd turned.

[Nturtle]

Yep...would love to see the video as well...seems like he did a back-heel or something?

[Zygalski]

You can see the goal over here:

It's like he tried a Zidane turn and it all went wrong.....
Great goal! :D

[Stella Artois]
