Southampton V Liverpool FEB 22th Match Thread

[Judge Jules]

Right... I've gotta say this despite well... Yeah... It sounds a little silly but...

So out here I've been catching Liverpool games at ridiculous times and over the past few weeks strange shit keeps happening and I've come to the conclusion that my dog, Fang, is properly fucking mystic.

It usually completely fucking ignores me as an owner or living creature generally but for some reason whenever the footy comes on it becomes very weird...

So
...
It's hard to describe really...
It's fucking mystic I tell Yas... Mystic...

The last five or six goals we've scored have been immediately presaged by the arrival of my dog right in front of me on the sofa, obscuring the view and demanding a scratch behind the ear etc... It's completely unlike him... For the Tottenham game he actually jumped up onto the sofa and climbed onto my bloody chest just as Ballotelli scored... My dog really is not an affectionate animal... Just as Coutinho got the ball earlier he was behind the sofa there having had no contact with me at all for about 5 hours, he strolls round right up to the sofa and sticks his face right in front of me as I'm lying down... Golazo...

I'd discount it as a perfectly rational kinda fella but this is like the six goal he's done it for now.. It's spooky I tell ya...
Anyway..

Yeah...

Props to your dog but he's just a beginner compared with my TV set. 😛

Thought Simon was off there.

Me too.

 

[cloggypop]

My mate had a Husky called Fang but it was just a normal dog with no psychic abilities whatsoever.

 

[Leo]

Jesus ming catch the fucking thing.

 

[FoxForceFive]

I just shat myself.

 

[Fabio]

We're getting a fuck ton of luck here

 

[Red Mullet]

Phew - HT

 

[Nir.Barak]

This is just too intense

 

[FoxForceFive]

Jesus ming catch the fucking thing.

Easier said than done in the pissing down rain tbf.

 

[cloggypop]

Ref is having a mare.
We really should be down to nine men here.

Yup.

 

[Markeh]

Get Lazar off, he's doing that back turning girly nonsense blocking a shot in the box

 

[refugee]

Lovren off please.

 

[Fabio]

We need to bring Sturridge or Mario on

 

[Judge Jules]

We're getting a fuck ton of luck here

Makes a change that it's running in our favour, but yes, we have so far.

 

[gkmacca]

This is just too wet.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Lovren is about to give me a heart attack.

 

[Tinto]

Lucky first half for us.

 

[Fabio]

Lazar off, Lallana to wing back, Sturridge to go up top and sterling behind?

 

[Skullflower]

We'll win this now

 

[Hansern]

Riding our luck here. Big time. Rodgers needs to change things around at half time. Shame Sakho is injured.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Half time thoughts:

* best player on the pitch for us is the ref ... I wouldn't have complained if they had had 2 penalties and a 2 man advantage too ...
* Mign has made some really good saves again. Got lucky with the handball but overall, he's showing confidence and control over his box.
* Henderson really leading by example here
* We NEED a goal quick in the second half - ref will try to 'even' things out and Soton will throw the kitchen sink at it.
* Ibe is a tank - having a tough game, but still showing glimpses of why he's got a very very positive future here (and then Real Madrid)

I'd haul Lovren off for that Elia chance. Not only was he hopelessly lacking concentration and out of position, but once the ball went over his head he jogged until realising Elia was running in behind.

Shocking.

What's happened to him?

 

[Buddha]

Mignolet and the ref are keeping us in this.

 

[Buddha]

To be fair though, we've deserved some luck this season.

 

[KopRed]

Lovren off please.

This. He is ALWAYS caught out of position and need to resort to that shit lunging tackle. He is going to get sent off especially in this weather.

 

[Shadey]

It's fucking mystic I tell Yas... Mystic...



Yeah...

What's he like at picking lottery numbers?

 

[dogboy]

Pity we're not allowed to make at least 8 substitutions.

 

[gkmacca]

Lazar is looking like the endearing 70s musician Lol Creme. And he's playing like him, too. I actually wanted him to start on the left but he's not in this at all.

 

[Whirly]

We need to bring Sturridge or Mario on

Should switch to a striking two of Balotelli and Sterling. Sterling has been completely shut out of the game because he's like three feet tall.

 

[Markeh]

Pitch is very slick, too much hair product run off with the likes of Can, Henderson and Pelle.
