Southampton Vs Liverpool

[billypilgrimnz]

The way our midfield presses, they're like over eager puppies at times, barreling in at 100 miles an hour. One flick and they are out of commission. There's something to be said for cultured pressing.

[Sweeney287]

Superb save

[J-V]

Great save, fucking hell.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Would be ace to have Mascherano but this is fuck all to do with personnel.

 

Hmm, I think its a little to do with personnel. Glen has been fucking shit

 

saved again by Mignolet. once again, johnson completely asleep

[bizzle10]

bring sterling on for coutinho he is having one of his invisible man games

[G Richards]

Mignolet, good save. We could easily be level or behind. Riding our luck here. 

[Gnasher]

Hendo, Allen and Courtino have been non existant. Fucking step it up.

[magicrat]

Has Joe Allen fucked off home ?

[Evil_Ways]

Yeah we need to make changes at half time.

Coutinho isnt working today.

 

Sterling for him at half time.

[Baltar]

You'd think having Gerrard, Hendo and Allen in midfield would mean we can keep the ball better but this is the worst we've been in possession for a few games now. Saints are a very nice and tidy passing team sure, but they shouldn't be controlling us like this. Hopefully we can sort things out at the break.

[J-V]

This is terrible sort it out Rodgers.

[Jairzinho]

Get Coutinho off for Sterling so we can at least use our 3% of posession to break more effectively.

[thompsonsnose]

Looks like our lucks in today.

Get Coutinho off for fucks sake.

Offering nothing.

[CWD82]

This showing today is purely down to the shape of the team.

 

Luke Shaw is one of the best fullbacks in the league going forward and we've decided to leave him totally unmarked/untested.

 

The midfield diamond is too narrow.

 

Pull Suarez and Coutinho wide and we'll start controlling or at least competing

[FrenchEyeGlass]

The way our midfield presses, they're like over eager puppies at times, barreling in at 100 miles an hour. One flick and they are out of commission. There's something to be said for cultured pressing.

 

But we were great at it vs Arsenal and Everton. God knows why we seem so clueless today.

 

Fcks sake. Seriously can we hook Glen, I'd rather Cissokho

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Delighted with the current score but seriously, we need to sort it out, we deserve to be behind.

[J-V]

HT

 

We've been shocking since we scored.

[CWD82]

But we were great at it vs Arsenal and Everton. God knows why we seem so clueless today.

 

Fcks sake. Seriously can we hook Glen, I'd rather Cissokho

We played with a 5 man midfield that day without possession.

 

We've got Suarez, Sturridge and Coutinho not defending when we don't have the ball.

 

That's the difference

[billypilgrimnz]

You'd think having Gerrard, Hendo and Allen in midfield would mean we can keep the ball better but this is the worst we've been in possession for a few games now. Saints are a very nice and tidy passing team sure, but they shouldn't be controlling us like this. Hopefully we can sort things out at the break.

Henderson, Allen and Coutinho are all very unreliable in their passing when the pressure is on. That's a big problem when we need to settle a game. And the less Flanagan sees the ball in the final third, the better.

[Paco]

so many variables in football.

 

southampton have had plenty of chances but haven't scored.

 

if this was last week against swansea they'd have 3 goals by now.

 

what a save by mignolet! How valuable could that be?

 

still need to score because I don't fancy us for a clean sheet

[G Richards]

Lucky to be ahead at half time. Credit to Southampton as they are playing very well. We need to regroup, tweak it a bit (Sterling for Coutinho seems the obvious switch) and a few players need to step it up a bit, as they are running through us, seemingly at will. 

[Baltar]

Thank god for the half time whistle. Jesus that was an almighty struggle. It's amazing how we can make so many teams look like Barce-fucking-lona when we're not at it.

Right now I'd be over the moon if we scrape this 1-0. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

We don't deserve to be ahead its a huge plus we are by some miracle. Coutinho has to be hooked its the worst display I've seen since my primary school invested in a second hand computer. Get sterling on immediately. Don't dare do the usual of keeping it the same until they level then go ahead ill burst something.

[J-V]

We played with a 5 man midfield that day without possession.

 

We've got Suarez, Sturridge and Coutinho not defending when we don't have the ball.

 

That's the difference

 

We also have Gerrard, Allen and Henderson not defending when we don't have the ball.

[Phoenix]

Sterling should be on Coutinho.

Pirlo is having one of his not too bothered halves of football.

 

Someone needs to get a psychiatrist for these players. slow it down doesnt mean stop playing.
