Liverpool v Southampton League Cup Semi Final Second Leg Match Thread

Not open for further replies.
We were shit. End of. We haven't got a clue what to do when teams sit deep and the play was pedestrian.

I like Can but he's got the turning circle of a fully laden skip. I'd have started Wijnaldum instead.

Alexander-Arnold showed some decent things going forward but was very naieve at times in defence but it wasn't the defence that lost us it.

A bit harsh. We cut them open a few times and wanted good chances. We need better flow than earlier in the season but the opposition makes it hard when they Lie deeper and deeper
 
That's not true. They had as many chances as we did to score, actually did score, and also battered us in the first leg

They deserved it

I wouldn't disagree that Southampton took their opportunity.

However I'm interested in Liverpool and we did not score when we should have done.
 
We were not shit or well beaten.

Calm down.

We simply did not put away the chances we created.

I'm not going fall out with anyone over it.

We looked shite and well beaten to me.

You saw it a different way, fair enough.

End result we are out of a cup we should still be in which is hard to stomach.

Australia Day ruined

Football isn't just about creating and taking goal scoring oppurtunities it's also about preventing them and we're abysmal at it in both legs.
 
Do you really think that a team setting up the way Southampton did will create zero chances?

Who said anything about zero chances?

With that set up of course they will but you would hope we would create a hell of lot more than them and in the first half they had more chances with a quarter of the ball.

We should have been 2-0 at ht and couldn't have complained about it
 
I hate this armchair fan, Sky generation tendency of posing as an objective observer praising the opposition.

Watch some tennis later, our swiss lads will save your day 😉

It would have been something like 3-3 if every chance were taken though. You said we were well beaten tonight. We weren't. It was fairly even.

Over both legs, you could be right as I didn't see the first match.

Maybe so and perhaps I'm influenced by the first leg where we were absolutely battered off the park so much so Klopp said the only good thing is it's only 1-0.

Maybe I expected a response from the first leg, from the Swansea game, the fact we got out of jail only losing 1-0 and still had a chance to go to Wembley.

The first half was largely Southampton, yes we improved in the 2nd half but over the 180 mins we were the better side in 45.

That's unacceptable against a side who have been rubbish more often than not this season as their league position shows

I can't complain about the endeavour and urgency our team showed tonight. There were passages of good play and we dominated the ball but ultimately not enough quality when it mattered.

Well Said. Only way to better end result is to work even harder. I think some of the attack tonight showed that we are moving in right direction. Other parts we had too many touches on the ball and slowed it down for ourselves. If we manage to play more on one to two touches we will have a wonderful spring🙂
