Southampton v Liverpool - Match Thread

[FreshRed]

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.

Only issue on goal was TAA

 

[Raz]

Pass it round at the back and then hooooof up front.

Awful stuff this.

This seems to be how we play now. It’s not just poor form.
We should be 2 down. We are a mess!

 

[6TimesaRed]

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

^^This

Thiago.. is a foul away from a red card...

Get the cube on..

 

[Fabio]

Henderson not being in line didn't help

 

[Holle]

See? We need to get behind their back four.

 

[KopRed]

Please Klopp sub Ox.

Tiago is one or two poor tackles away from a red though.

 

[Shay_K]

Much better, I"d sub Ox for a CB

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Refs been shite but he's not cost us anything

We have been fucking awful. Focus on that

Well, the FK for their goal was not a foul ... because he's allowed that stuff on our players

 

[Farkmaster]

We should have got a shot on target from the last passage of play. Much better.

 

[SummerOnions]

That was our best play of the half

 

[FreshRed]

Henderson not being in line didn't help

Sure, but cover was there and watched the ball go by.

 

[Bradley]

If we had those 5 subs, you'd use them all at halftime.

 

[Farkmaster]

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

That's a little harsh, but I can accept we are both fucking up, and that the ref is shit.

Wijnaldum is a beast.

 

[Shadey]

This is pants HT

 

[6TimesaRed]

big changes needed,...

 

[gkmacca]

Why does the ref seem so perturbed whenever that lump of a keeper falls over? Keepers falling over aren't fouls!

 

[Alan Hardaker]

This is getting worse..not one has had a decent first half...Hendo and Fabio look like they hardly know each other. Gawd know what position the Ox is playing..

Thiago off..Williams on..Hendo back in Mid..Ox off..Shaq on.

 

[Fabio]

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

He didn't cost us the goal. He gave them an opportunity and we contrived to fuck up simple things

As for the 2 bookings. Can't really argue with either

 

[Holle]

Robbo's corner was already over the goal line.

 

[MomoWASright]

There are at least 4 other players that need to be replaced before Thiago. Yellow card or not.

 

[Fabio]

Fucking hell this is bad

 

[MomoWASright]

Robbo's corner was already over the goal line.

I hate seeing him take corners from that side. The way it swings always look close to be going out.

 

[Squiggles]

Disappointing. Nobody had a good half. The referees have also been shite.

Klopp needs to get our spark back. The intensity and passion has gone.

 

[Fabio]

Wijnaldum is a beast.

Is that from the bit where he fucked up a touch in a dangerous position, and then managed to retain possession by the halfway line

 

[HC]

We've actually sleepwalked into a rut over the past two weeks , quite amazing really.

We need height at CB , hendo is lost at set pieces and high balls

Ox.. was he even on the pitch ?

Ginis first touch has been horrendous , he's killed off the flow of a couple of attacking moves with sloppy or heavy touches


Just garbage really

We will be lucky to score at this rate

 

[gkmacca]

He didn't cost us the goal. He gave them an opportunity and we contrived to fuck up simple things

Yes you can. And what we need to do now - play faster and more aggressively, as well as imaginatively, will be wrecked by him, who will whistle at the slightest push. Unless we stand well back and pass the ball politely we'll end up with about eight bookings. He's been atrocious.

 

[SummerOnions]

Would take off Thiago for Williams, put Hendo at CM and move Shaq in for Ox

Cant be worse can it

 

[tomasjj]

Trent is struggling. Ox invisible. Firm back to being less influential.
Only Mane looks to be switched on up front.

Some midfield in their face dominance would be good.

 

[Frogfish]

Would take off Thiago for Williams, put Hendo at CM and move Shaq in for Ox

Yes.

 

[davud graham]

We need to take Thiago off not just because he's another foul away from being sent off but because he's been garbage so far. I'm sure he'll have many great games for us but his first half showing has been rubbish. Not that he's alone in that respect as chamberlain's been shite as well as the front three and trent too. Can't help thinking that playing Jota in that meaningless game is coming back to haunt us as not only is he an option from the start but it also means we have no viable attacking option from the bench.
