Southampton v Liverpool Match Thread

[Modo]

Bad weather, injuries, bad luck...everything went against us today.
Should have had a pen as well.

Think Klopp should have got Sturridge on earlier. Also, what was Origi supposed to do in 4 mins?

 

[Buddha]

Klopp should have got all three subs on with 15-20 to play for me.

 

[Modo]

Matip was my MOM.

 

[Fallon]

Meh, I think we let that be a draw after a certain point. Subs were late and we weren't exactly brave in numbers, Hendo did ok defensively but stifled us going forward and Gini not his usual self either.

 

[tony]

Matip is indeed looking like a beast

Hendo and his fucking sideways and backwards passing does my fucking head in sometimes.

 

[tony]

Played well, deserved to win but just didn't get the run of the ball. No doom and gloom from me, we've got a nice run of fixtures coming up.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Not a bad result all in all. Tough place to go.

Chelsea and Spurs defeats would make it a decent weekend.

 

[Judge Jules]

It's a good sign that we're disappointed about drawing away at St.Mary's, and an even better sign that we deserve to be.

Try to score a goal?

 

[Modo]

Yeah well he could try to score a goal in the 80th minute as well.

 

[mom]

Shit happens. Could have been a win but tough place and tough time to play. Clean sheet and a point is good.

 

[Modo]

Chelsea will leapfrog us and City tomorrow.

 

[tony]

Chelsea will leapfrog us and City tomorrow.

Personally I'm just loving the fact we're up there in contention atm. That and being 8 pts above UTD

 

[Frogfish]

Irrelevent in the big picture. It was a poor return but a good result that most would have taken from St Mary's before the match started.

We can't say this every week though, it's not a good result if your main competitor wins and gains two points on you, how's that good? There's a long way to go and all teams will drop points, but over the course of the season, it's missed opportunities (like this) that teams usually rue.

 

[Buddha]

The only thing that'll make me feel better after that is a thumping West Ham win and Lloris / Kane injury.

Come on you Irons!

 

[Kay Age El]

Højbjerg just said that we were the best team he has ever been up against..

Angling for a move?

 

[Skullflower]

I'll say this now. we wont go top of the league again

He's a scando so there's about a 75% chance he's a fan.

 

[Kay Age El]

WW won't go top again?

West Wam?

Wolverwampton?

Woolwich?

Controversial either way..

 

[Kay Age El]

He is half French though..

 

[cloggypop]

He is half French though..

I can't believe you've been suggesting him.

If Chelsea don't win tomorrow, we won't need to.

 

[Kay Age El]

I can't believe you've been suggesting him.

I am weak..

Exactly, especially after seeing us miss chance after chance in the game.

I'd argue that these kind of games are the ones we need to be winning. But sure, 1 point is better than 0.

I honestly thought he was quite meh.

 

[Kay Age El]

I honestly thought he was quite meh.

No worries. I think all of Sotons players had a hard time today first and foremost defending.

 

[Modo]

It's going to be three horse race in the end. Us Chelsea and City.

It wasn't a good result per se but it wasn't that bad a result either, surely. We didn't drop all the points as we might well have done in recent seasons, and not many will dominate Southampton at their place the way we did today. We know we have to keep improving but IMHO we can take encouragement from today overall.
