It was horrible, it was stale. At times it promised a lot, but delivered precious little. Three xG to 0.4, it was squandered.
Arne Slot has to take a portion of the blame in what was an impotent Liverpool performance.
The Reds went from pedestrian to downright indecisive in a performance that summed up Liverpool's season.
Here is how the Liverpool players rated, and I'm not feeling too charitable.
Alisson Becker - 6
Liverpool's goalkeeper wasn't the reason for the outcome, but was too often lackadaisical on the ball.
He also conceded his only shot on target received, albeit one he had little chance of saving.
Milos Kerkez- 6
A half-decent performance from Kerkez, he began well, making the right runs.
As the match wore on, Kerkez became more ineffectual and stopped making the runs to the byline that he is in the team to do.
Virgil van Dijk- 6
He at times looked nervous, as a part of a Liverpool backline that looked at times more scared of Burnley than it needed to be.
On the ball, he wasn't good enough. He seems to have lost his way with some of those diagonal passes.
Ibrahima Konate- 6
I don't think that he is good enough to be a starter for Liverpool.
The goal came from down his side and he is just too poor on the ball. When you come against a low-block team you do not want to have to put up with Konate's poor ball-playing skills.
Jeremie Frimpong- 6
He showed flashes, but it wasn't really his game.
Frimpong's attacking game requires space to run into, but there wasn't much today.
He also looks too vulnerable defensively to be a right-back and too inept in the final third to be a winger. That's never a good sign.
Ryan Gravenberch- 6
He was slow and ponderous on the ball and his lack of threat going forward was a hindrance.
Liverpool did look worse with him not on the field though and he made some good interceptions defensively.
Dominik Szoboszlai- 5
He seems to be drinking his own cool-aid a bit too much at the moment. Szoboszlai seems too ready to showboat on the ball, and he was so frustrating at times. The penalty too was poor, he never looked like he was going to score.
He took needless long-range shots, he is a brilliant player, but needs to stop trying to play heroball.
Curtis Jones- 6
Jones had a good first-half as an active participant in the game, snuffing out Jaidon Anthony at times when he looked threatening on the break.
In the second-half he was far too pedestrian on the ball, sideways and backwards, being incisive isn't his game.
Florian Wirtz- 8
He was fabulous, he was scintillating, he got you off your seat and in the game.
Wirtz is a marvelous player and he got the goal his performance deserved. If his teammates had got it together, he would be at least a nine.
Cody Gakpo- 6
He looked threatening at times, including winning the penalty, but Liverpool needed Gakpo to step up in a big way and it never materialised.
Gakpo feels like a black sheep, like he doesn't quite fit in the team. When it doesn't work he looks isolated.
He did his best and seemed to have Kyle Walker worried at times, but couldn't quite find the finish.
Hugo Ekitike- 7
He made some dangerous runs and is always a livewire, albeit lessened on Saturday as he comes back from injury.
Ekitike also had a hand in Wirtz's goal, his run breaking the Burnley defence apart.
Rio Ngumoha- 7
Ngumoha looked good on the ball. He looked sharp energetic and throwing himself into things. A real livewire.
Let me make this clear though, Liverpool Football Club should not be relying on a seventeen-year-old to beat Burnley at home.
Andy Robertson- 6
He was fairly anonymous when he came on, didn't make the runs or take up the right positions.
Alexis Mac Allister- 4
He made everything worse. Slow, ineffective and just terrible. He missed arguably Liverpool's best opportunity to get a second goal.
Don't get me started on his two potshots. Utterly selfish and dire.
Federico Chiesa- N/A
Arne Slot's lack of trust in Chiesa is frankly baffling, he brought him in far too late. One might ask, why did we go into the season with four forwards he trusts, one is injury prone, one going to AFCON. This was entirely predictable.
For goodness sake, for Chiesa's sake, trust him or let him go.
