Southampton v Liverpool - Match Thread

[Farkmaster]

Our forward press is gone because we can't play as high a line because our defenders are slower and worse in a 1v1.

Trent is going through the motions for some reason. We had a couple spells of actually playing some triangles, but we've allowed this to be a bitty, messy game. Thiago would be the man you'd think would be the calm head who isn't ALWAYS looking for a forward ball, but instead he's been one of the culprits.

That's why losing Jota was so key ... a guy who was hungry, kept those guys on their toes etc ... and we lost him for no fucking reason whatsoever

I don't think hunger is the issue. The front 3 have been working their asses off for 3 games, but without any cohesion or effect.

 

[MomoWASright]

Has Firmino done anything in the last 3 games?

 

[Markeh]

Clear and obvious corner

 

[Holle]

We're not getting behind their back four. Usually it's Trent or Robbo's stronger aspects but there's not coming much from there. Ox and Gini aren't doing much either.

 

[gkmacca]

Tyler had to break off from his droning there. What a twat.

 

[Alan Hardaker]

We've forgotten how to play out from the back..

 

[Fabio]

This is just fucking shocking

 

[moron]

To be honest the way southampton are setup we should be fucking them up bad. They are loose, but our passing is utter shit.

 

[Shadey]

Is something up with him?

He’s found out his favourite Sports direct store is to close in full lockdown.

 

[Farkmaster]

Very almost 2-0 down. I think that would be a pretty harsh scoreline, but it will become the scoreline if we don't remember what football looks like on the ball.

 

[Fabio]

Bobby still can't fucking score in an empty net

 

[Hansern]

Atkinson is so insanely shite

 

[gkmacca]

Huge keeper, so lob a high cross at him. Brilliant thinking.

 

[Modo]

Please tell me that miss by Firmino was on purpose.

 

[Holle]

Bobby still can't fucking score in an empty net

Unbelievable. Never a foul either.

 

[SummerOnions]

You mad lunatic

The signs are all there...

City win yesterday, Chelsea lose and the Russians get revenge with their 'friend' as the referee stopping their other rivals from getting too far above them in the league

 

[Fabio]

Refs been shite but he's not cost us anything

We have been fucking awful. Focus on that

 

[gkmacca]

They're clearly free to just hold Salah whenever they like!

 

[FreshRed]

We've forgotten how to play out from the back..

To be fair, I think we are seeing is the result of the lack of all the different pairings in the back, and it is pretty understandable.

Any of our peers would be in bottom half of table with similar injuries.

 

[Farkmaster]

Please tell me that miss by Firmino was on purpose.

Definitely. Get rid of one of the 9 misses so we can get to the goal.

 

[Fabio]

Playing Henderson at CB has bit us on the arse. We're missing his drive in midfield, and he played Ings onside for the goal.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

something is wrong ...

 

[gkmacca]

Refs been shite but he's not cost us anything

Well, aside from a goal. And two players' ability to play full out from now on.

 

[Farkmaster]

Refs been shite but he's not cost us anything

We have been fucking awful. Focus on that

Well, we're losing because of a free kick that wasn't.

 

[Shay_K]

Superb Hendo

 

[Modo]

Please Klopp sub Ox.

 

[SummerOnions]

Would bring on Williams at HT just cos we need Hendo in mid

 

[Fabio]

Well, we're losing because of a free kick that wasn't.

Where Henderson played him onside and Trent chested space. He didn't give them an unjust pen, he gave them a free kick in an iffy place

We are fucking up and it should be 2 or 3 down by now

 

[Holle]

Injuries and stupidity. And players who don't realize what it takes.
