Thought Lazar was completely shit today, he played 1 good ball into the box but aside from that was so lightweight and half hearted. He may as well have bent over and let Clyne have his way in the first half.
Today might have been a small nail in the Lazar at fullback coffin, or at least reason to not select him against a decent fullback/winger/both.

What did Carra say?
He said 'ring ding ring ding ring ding aaaah, rikky ticky ricky ticky ricky ticky chaaaaa'
Thats what Carra say.
Ambicrapforus would have worked better.
As cloggy mentioned - Can did play LB for Leverkusen a number of times, so I was surprised to see him switch over, I could see the reason for it, since Lovren had been playing RCB in the past few sub appearances when he came on and we pushed Can into midfield.
Oddly, I think that probably worked better for us actually. It felt like Djuricic and Clyne were a handful down our wide and inside left, while on the right, only Elia was their primary threat. So, taking into account their distribution of attacking power / intent, it seemed to be the right decision. Markovic's inability to defend made things look really bad in the first half, but once Moreno came in, we didn't see the same jitters in the first 45 minutes. I think I might've been more nervous in the first half had it been Lovren behind Markovic.
Not very Portuguese-like weather. Suspect Marko really didn't like running in that. Watching him I thought he looked like I often felt playing rugby at school in freezing cold, rainy, weather when I'd rather be anywhere else than on the pitch !
Lallana - I thought the reception he got from the Saints' fans was utterly disgusting. He played 250+ games for them and helped bring them up from the Championship, simply scraping-the-barrel-class supporters. At least Lambo was well received.
Don't tell Gene how to do humour.
Ha, early on he just kinda stopped running & let their player get it, he looked utterly dejected & completely miserable, & the first though I had was 'I'm pretty sure I looked like that standing on the pitch in the pissing down rain at school'.
He just didn't want to be there. Whilst I may have sympathy were it a Sunday league team, the lad is being paid thousands to do that, so he should man the fuck up & put a shift in, or fuck off.
Hopefully Lallana was just surprised at the reception he received, as was everyone else, & next time he'll be out to prove a point, otherwise you'd have to call into question his mental strength.
He's shit with both. Maybe that's where you're confused.
He's not the senior steward for nothing. He delivered an exquisite Rock Bottom.
It was a professional performance against a good team in awful conditions. We were unusually fortunate with one or two decisions but that said we defended admirably. I would give Skrtel and Mignolet 8/10, Ibe and Lovren 7/10 and everyone else 6/10 (apart from Markovic who didn't fancy it at all) and it's nice to win such a game with such an average team performance.....it bodes well.
Graham Poll says both teams should have been awarded a penalty
Great win, it's even more important that we beat City next week now.
I see what you did there
It must be the first time when Kevin Friend has actually given us the rub of the green. He's a woeful ref. Every game with him is a lottery.
I agree, sure he touched the ball for Sterling's challenge, but does that allow him to completely take out Sterling with his trailing leg?
Did I miss something?
Which story? I possibly do know it.
The one about him teaching himself to use both feet equally from the age of 8 yrs old. Shooting, passing, tricks .. if he learnt it with one foot then he'd perfect it with the other too. There is no 'thinks he's ambidextrous' about it.
I never said ambidextrous. I said "thinks he's left footed" [emoji6]
