Cocky Liam Gallagher goads Liverpool fans after Burnley defeat

Liverpool's title challenge has shattered like a wall of glass and Liam is loving it

Liverpool’s title challenge has shattered like a wall of glass and Liam is loving it.

Jurgen Klopp may like to describe the Liverpool style of play as ‘heavy metal music’, but their recent form is certainly sounding sweet to the ears of a real life rock’n’roll star. For what it’s worth, Liam Gallagher took great joy in the Red Men slumping to their first league defeat at Anfield in 1369 days – and goaded their distraught fans with his post-match reaction.

Klopp’s men have now failed to score in the last four games in defence of their paper crown, and it certainly hasn’t escaped the beady eye of the diehard Manchester City fan. Feeling bold following Burnley’s surprise victory on Thursday – and refusing to be the better man – Gallagher decided to create a shockwave on Twitter.

Relishing the fact that Liverpool have lost their halo of invincibility and the universal gleam that comes with it, the ex-Oasis frontman sought to dispel any glimmer of hope their fans might have that they can win the Premier League more than once by suggesting they’re in a relegation scrap.

Seemingly making the point that nothing lasts forever, Liam tweeted: ‘I know there’s a long way to go in the season and all that you never know they might go down as you were LG x’ – clearly referring to Liverpool’s pitiful acquiesce to Burnley down by the river Mersey.

No doubt the greedy soul will be hoping Pep Guardiola can win City their fifth league title in a decade.
