Southampton v Liverpool Match Thread

The lack of Southampton players attacking tells you all you need to know.

They're playing to try to stop us scoring first & foremost.

All teams will be doing that now.

If we can break them down then potentially it's a very good thing.

It's traditionally been our weakness. That and giving up comical goals against the run of play.
 
Well, that first half looked like it has been an international break, thats for sure.
 
I'd say this season it's not, but sans Lallana & with a tired countinho it looks like it could potentially be an issue today.
Agreed. Our attacking players look a bit sluggish. Firmino hasn't had a chance yet. Might sacrifice a midfielder to get Sturridge in. I'm looking at Emre.

Yeah, I'd be tempted to bring coutinho off at HT and rest his groin. Don't like him risking it on this heavy pitch*.

* - reverse jinx so he gets a hattrick in the second half.
 
I've got Michael Owen picking a 5 a side team with 4 mancs in it for half time entertainment. Get to fuck you little bellwhiff.

Think they'll be more attacking in the second half.
They've defended well though.
 
Just need to be patient, the chance will come, Clatterberg set the agenda by allowing this to be an all contact contest which doesn't help. The lack of ambition from Southampton is surprising, there didn't seem to be much help for Austin when they hit us on the break. Van Dyck in a LFC shirt for the next time we play them?
