Strong mentality is what's needed two carragher (spelling) type players with organisation ability is what's needed.

He has got the same mentality as Wenger, he is trying to prove to the owners that big money is not needed to be a success and of course we all know how its going to pan out.

Quality brings success not quantity.

Perhaps let Klavan, Matip and Karius settle in and learn English?

You are by no means the main culprit Ginger, so don't take this personally. But all these knee jerk posts crying over 1 loss is ridiculous. It is very early in the season and we've been unlucky with injuries losing Matip and Karius before the season even started. They were the two primary players brought in to strengthen our defensive unit and neither have even played yet.

Yeah all right, Burnley beat us and it is frustrating. But it isn't like we played absolutely terribly. We had 80% possession and 26 shots to their 3. The difference was that Heaton made the saves when it was required of him, and Mignolet didn't. We made sloppy errors trying to pass through a very well drilled team. In many ways we were the better team, but Dyche got it spot on and stung us with a couple of goals from nothing.

Move on people. Get over it. Last week we beat Arsenal at the Emirates for only the second time in 20+ attempts, and we were title contenders. One upset later and we are relegation fodder? Your behaviour is far more embarrassing than the result yesterday. We all know that our full backs are not good enough. That has been clear for a year or longer. But turning on new signings already, our captain, some of our best players etc. I mean what is this? It is pitiful to say the least. I'm not going to post some 60 year old Shankly quote about supporting us when we lose, because I shouldn't need to prompt you all to be decent supporters. I'm not asking for blind support. But it is the second game of the season, not the last. So stop over reacting and turning into internet trolls.

They all need to be sold. The league is over after 2 games. Seriously I agree completely with MK. It is the second game. 36 to go and I am looking ahead to each and every one.

Exactly MK, is it going to be like this after every loss?

Thanks Emre, and exactly 420FL. 36 opportunities to make up for yesterday and fine tune this very new look team.

I sure hope not Puzzled Red!

This isn't simply a defeat in isolation. There is a symptomatic problem that hasn't been dealt with and other teams expose again and again. I said before the start of the season that if we stuck Wijnaldum in centre midfield we'd have the same problems as last season, ie leaving our defence too easily exposed through a weak midfield, I stand by my view that he is a waste of £24m and I've seen nothing in his time at Newcastle and his displays so far that suggests he will be a good signing. I can see this kind of thing happening again and again this season as we simply don't have any balance in midfield and lack any real defensive nous. Add to that our fullbacks appear to play as if they were not blessed with any brains and Mignolet's incapability of performing the rudimentary tasks a supposed 'good shot stopper' should do (you know, like stopping relatively easy shots? ) then you have a recipe for a season being over by November. Going to a team that will be a likely relegation candidate and being not only beaten but so toothless is pathetic and does not bode at all well. Need I remind anyone of the league games against Swansea, Southampton, Watford, Newcastle, Man United, West Ham, Crystal Palace or the cup final (second half) against Sevilla? Yesterday was the same as those games and to me we are going into the season seriously under prepared and failed go strengthen in two crucial areas (left back and defensive centre midfield) which we will pay heavily for.

@Frankly, left back and centre midfield weaknesses has nothing to do with Clyne passing the ball straight to the Burnley man and gifting them a goal.

You're a bit of a broken record mate, all you posts are the same.

Matip was on the bench yesterday, i think also on the opening day so he can't be injured.

Actually both goals came about through players being able to run unchallenged through midfield and then allowed to shoot (don't get me started on how poor Mignolet was for both goals, neither effort was a world class effort. ) The individual mistakes didn't help, but just being able to run like that with no midfielder making a challenge is criminal, Henderson was left chasing shadows because Lallana and Wijnaldum are simply not centre midfielders or up to the task they were assigned, we don't have the right personnel to mount a serious challenge for anything and we've spent badly by wasting £24m on Wijnaldum.
