Liverpool v Southampton League Cup Semi Final Second Leg Match Thread

[Farkmaster]

This shit will fold if we lean on them. We're just being too methodical and slow to pass. Crowd is right up for it.

Anyone see Coutinho at the head of the forwards then? He turned to Sturridge & gestured to swap & they changed places.

Wondering if that's something planned as Coutinho & Lallana seems to be getting forward as Sturridge drops back on occasion.

 

[Modo]

Great pass by TAA

 

[Farkmaster]

Much better, some incisive passing.

 

[Mystic]

I know it was nothing spectacular, but that ball from TAA to Firmino was beautiful.

 

[Judge Jules]

Lallana looks a lot more at home in midfield than he does further forward.

 

[Judge Jules]

Tadic left with far too much space there.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Lallana looks a lot more at home in midfield than he does further forward.

I like seeing him just behind that 'number 10' role where Coutinho is currently, so he can grab the ball & make quick forward runs with ball at feet as the striker/s & Coutinho drag players away.

 

[Farkmaster]

Tadic left with far too much space there.

Good thing he completely shat himself.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Again, we look so much more threatening on the counter attack.

 

[bkwitche2]

Damn close to a great pass from TAA to Lallana.

 

[Farkmaster]

Again, we look so much more threatening on the counter attack.

I'd love to knwo the statistics, because while we may look threatening, I don't recall us scoring many pure counterattacking goals, so I tend to assume we'll fuck the chances up.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Fuck, what an opportunity!

 

[FoxForceFive]

TAA is having an excellent game.

 

[Modo]

Arnold's crosses are ten times better than Clyne's

 

[Judge Jules]

TAA is having an excellent game.

He's a very good all-round footballer. I'm not sure he'll end up at fullback.

 

[Modo]

Fuck you Lovren

 

[Farkmaster]

Lovren, knock it off, you aren't as good as you think you are.

 

[FoxForceFive]

He's a very good all-round footballer. I'm not sure he'll end up at fullback.

I agree, he's certainly got the frame to suggest he could play a role elsewhere too. Similarly to Ejaria, those long legs could really work as a midfielder.

 

[tombrown]

Getting better all the time. Southampton luck will run out soon

 

[Judge Jules]

Phew. Good block from Milner.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Fuck off Lovren. Cos a header going ten yards at knee height is always better than hoofing it away.

 

[bkwitche2]

We don't look like keep a clean sheet so that'll be three needed to win.

 

[Hansern]

Coutinho will have to get murdered before he gets a free kick

 

[FoxForceFive]

I have a feeling that if we can actually get the ball in the back of the net they will panic & more will follow.

Not a foregone conclusion us scoring though.

 

[Judge Jules]

Coutinho will have to get murdered before he gets a free kick

Especially from Atkinson, the biggest sh!thouse on the referees' roster.

 

[FoxForceFive]

I don't even blame the crowd for being quiet, it's fucking Baltic out there tonight, they must be frozen solid.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Can always needs to take that extra touch. Slows the game down

 

[bkwitche2]

No one in the box for a cross because Sturridge is picking up the ball 15 yards the wrong side of the halfway line.

 

[hmmmmm1]

What a save kairius
