Liverpool under Klopp seems to be running a common theme.

They look irresistable against a good team, media and Liverpool fans bang on about how they are going places under Jurgen, then they drop points the next game with a miserable dispay vs an average team

That Liverpool team needs lots of broken play and transition/counter attacking opprotunities to thrive. 

Burnley made sure that wasn't going to happen, and like you said it's been a constant theme under the Klopp era so far that they drop many points to the minnows of the league.

They seriously lack a DLP, and desperately need a player of the Xhaka profile. Maybe Emre Can can be that guy, but I have my doubts. 

How many shots did Coutinho have yesterday?!  Long may it continue.

This came fifth at the best joke at the Edinburgh fringe and is brilliant.

Surely there's gotta be a statute of limitations here. How can FA charge him for comments he made 4 years ago. He wasn't even playing in a FA governed league at that time. Doesn't make sense at all. Surely, Burnley will contest.

[Essien19 1,415]

He shouldn't have said those things. It's against the rules. The comments were out there until a few days ago... only thing i wonder who brought them up again? I heard RAWK was involved, must have done something wrong.

Actually - all football in the UK is ultimately governed by the Football Association - even amateur pub football. 

It is ridiculous and 4 years is a long time when people are 'growing up'

It all started when he was complaining on Twitter about racist abuse that he was getting during one of Burnley's pre-season games. He went on to say that the people who had been giving him that kind of abuse were still living in the stone age.

 

In response to that tweet someone retweeted one of his offensive tweets which got him fined.

 

Both of the aforementioned tweets can be seen here.
