EFL Cup Semi (1st Leg) Southampton (away) Match Thread

[FoxForceFive]

Fuck off Sturridge

He's so not into this tonight. So far he may as well not be on the pitch.

 

[tombrown]

Van dyke eases past sturridge.... in our penalty area !!!

 

[FoxForceFive]

Yay, we're winning the passing!

 

[mark1975]

Pathetic again by Can and Sturridge.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Can needs binning. I can't believe Klopp has done fuck all to change it.

He's going backwards imo ...

 

[Vlads Quiff]

Lucas Can Wijnaldum in midfield :s

Mors called it first

 

[FoxForceFive]

Sturridge could have fought him for that instead of flopping to the ground. Feel bad slagging him off cos he's easily my favourite forward of our current crop, but he's not at the races tonight at all.

 

[manwithnoname]

Lucas and Can are doing Gregg's pressing

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Pathetic again by Can and Sturridge.

Studge will score a goal here - it's obvious, but I'm really hoping some Chinese team wants to spend 40 million on him.

 

[Markeh]

Come in sturridge

 

[Squiggles]

Coutinho for Can please.

40? He's easily worth 65!

 

[James]

Sturridge's diving is embarrassing.

 

[SummerOnions]

I'd bring on Woodburn as soon as possible. Bang him through the middle and take sturridge off

 

[hmmmmm1]

Wini, Lucas and can are just one too many side passes

One of them needs to take control

 

[LeTallecWiz]

nicest move so far ... poor shot by lallana but some good QUICK passing.

QUICK

 

[FoxForceFive]

I'd put Coutinho on now for Can, drop Lallana back into midfield.

Not ideal at all cos Lallana is a real threat further up, but he's seeing nothing cos the midfield is so poor, & Can is a huge part of that.

 

[manwithnoname]

Coutinho incoming

 

[FoxForceFive]

Or actually, maybe get Milner into midfield. He'd improve it no end.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Sturridge is playing woefully, take him off

 

[manwithnoname]

I hope Lucas isn't being hooked. It will take him 5 minutes to make it to the touchline

 

[LeTallecWiz]

I'd put Coutinho on now for Can, drop Lallana back into midfield.

You basically called one part of it ...

Gini off, replaced by Coutinho who pushes up while Lallana drops down.

 

[Vlads Quiff]

You are all bitching about Sturbridge but there has been fuck all service from the midfield for him

 

[Modo]

Wijnaldum?

 

[Farkmaster]

Can we sub on the-idea-of-Daniel-Sturridge?

 

[The Nomad]

So lucas and can who have been playing slower than a turning tractor stay on, but Gini taken off?

Time to change your glasses Jurgen.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Well apparently he can create chances and score out of nothing so we should expect more.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Gini off, replaced by Coutinho who pushes up while Lallana drops down.

Yeah, same end result. I have more faith in Gini than Can is all! Although when Wijnaldum has a poor game he has a stinker.

 

[bkwitche2]

So lucas and can who have been playing slower than a turning tractor stay on, but Gini taken off?

Time to change your glasses Jurgen.

Maybe someone will break them when we win 4-1.

Was just about to reply to dreamy saying that. When we need a goal it's madness to take him off when you're trying to fix the midfield & create more service to him.
