It seems like a lot of our players tend to pass the ball to each other about 100 MPH over short distances and the ball just bounces off the target because it was sent so hard.

It's not just his passing. Whenever we lose the ball in the middle of the park and Southampton are breaking on us it looks like he's running uphill and they are running downhill.
I disagree completely. Yeah he got space/finds space but he glides past our defenders at will and create major chances for his teammates almost everytime he comes into the final third.
Was good at the start of the Season too and has just improved from there.
Positional play is terrible from can today. Always seems to be chasing back to the ball
We need to change something.
I still say we'd be better bit playing so high up the pitch, stay compact further back & allow them to sit in front of us.
It would negate their counter attacking with pace, & stop their tendency to play those lines of defenders, & allow us to do that great pressing as one unit to start our own counters.We have more than enough pace & creativity to do that & create better chances than we have been.
Henderson has at least been as poor in that aspect and he has even lost possession in dangerous areas a er times. They all look out of place when they attack really.
Who is doing shit? Henderson's been fine.
How have we done? Sat pondering whether I should risk leaving for a train at 940 and miss the bit where we turn it round or get the train at 11 and spend the next 2 hours getting shitfaced next to some funny Scottish people

Ehm, no?
Ehm, yes.
Matip's been abysmal.
We're basically reliant on Barca at the peak of their powers type one touch wizardry around the box to score. It's no real surprise that as a result everyone looks like they're offering nothing.
It doesn't help that some of the passing and first touches have been erratic but I wonder if they're all feeling the pressure of knowing that everything has to be perfect to really get anywhere.
There was one attack where Southampton had 5 across the penalty box and another line of 4 in front of them.
We need a moment of magic or some shitty set-piece or something to draw Southampton out otherwise it's going to be another frustrating evening.

Given how consistently we've been off form, and how willing Klopp is to use youth with other youth, I don't understand why we are persisting with different iterations on this team. (not at half time, but at the start) Why not have one of the many jaded and off form elements of this squad sitting on the bench and replaced with someone with some spring in their step, less infected with the pallor mortis and resignation to failure that is just starting to waft around anfield like a familiar fart.
What a pass from Can but why did Studge stop?!?
That's how he runs nowadays. If anyone needed a confirmation over his loss of pace, that was it.
You want proof Sturridge can't run, there you go. It's brutally sad to watch.
That's three counter attacks that never even created a chance. It's one of the weakest parts of our game.
We've just been far too error-prone in the final third, making bad decisions and running into blind alleys.
Great play by sturridge & then Lallana, unlucky.
