At least we have got our poor half out of the way before the last 45.

Worried about our lack of balance and obviously as we all feared, lack of creativity in the final third.
 
Dull and uninspiring. Most of our attacks were coming down the left with Moses showing glimpses at times but having zero help by Sakho who looks uncomfortable for obvious reasons.

Can someone tell me why were playing four centre backs in a flat back four?

Are Enrique and Wisdom injured?
 
We had the better chances and should have got a penalty but we also need to do more in the 2nd half. Moses is playing well but isn't getting much help from Sakho who understandably doesn't look very comfortable going forward. Maybe we'll see Enrique come in at some point.
 
Aspas and Sakho out. Enrique (if fit) and Sterling in.

You feel Soton are going to get a goal so we really need to step up.
Seeing as we've been good in the first halves and shite second - I'm a bit worried.

We're struggeling to keep posession and lose it quite easily.
Step it up lads or it will end with zero points.
 
Aspas was awful that 45 but if Moses squared his chance he'd have had a tap in.

Credit to Southampton their defensive organisation was been superb
 
1. We are just too one paced, slow, on the ball. On the couple of occasions when we have upped the pace we have looked that much more dangerous.

2. I thought Sakho was in to counter Lambert at set-pieces, yet he is marking Osvaldo, so what is the point ? We are really missing Enrique.

3. Pushing Sturridge right and bringing Aspas more central has done nothing but isolate Studge from the game (he doesn't look fit or able to run at full pelt though). He looks so much more involved and dangerous when he comes central. Aspas more involved but hasn't done much.

4. Fuck off referee you blind cunt.

5. Ming is the fucking 'worst' distributor of the ball I've ever seen ! One day he's going to get caught on the ball and concede a goal. He doesn't see players that are open and can't kick to save his life, give credit to Southampton for noticing this and applying huge pressure every time Ming has the ball.

6. Fuck off referee you blind cunt.
 
Strange team and they are playing like one. There is no coherence at the moment, Southampton look much more like a team.

I agree with somebody who said Hendo and Aspas should switch positions. I'd like to see Alberto come on in the 2nd half.

Sakho is relying on his athleticism in both attack and defense - so far it's working. Just the sight of him closing down makes the opponents release the ball anywhere in a hurry. Toure is doing OK at RB too, but without any natural full-backs our shape is just completely different and we are unable to build up from the back or keep the ball in midfield for longer than a couple of passes. Where for God's sake is Allen, injured?
 
Silly defensive decision by Rogers. We need to stay top today - not the time to be playing All four CB's

In NYC this am - couldn't find a bar open. Everyone watches at home now on NBC so usual spots not open. Finally found an old fashioned Irish Bar to watch it all in
 
We had four CBs as a back four in the Treble season and it worked, but that was under GH who set his teams up to play in a very different style from the one Rodgers prefers (plus one of the CBs in question was big Sami). Not entirely sure why he's gone that route today.

Try to find a Fado Pub.
 
does rodgers hold a gun to our keeper's head and forces them to play it out from the back . reina was doing similar shite like that last season .
 
I am not impressed so far with Sahko, Moses or Aspas. I know it is early days but they don't appear to have anything...
