Southampton Vs Liverpool

[Evil_Ways]

Started the game very well, after our goal tho, it's like we've invited them.

 

I think Sterling will come on for Coutinho or Allen at half time. Football psychology is strange, for as long as it was 0-0 we looked by far the better side, since we scored it's like we are waiting for them to score. We need to sourt oursleves out at half time.

[Strontium]

The goal was a gift, Southampton have been the better side, we have ridden our luck at the back and our counter attacks have been mainly dreadful.

 

Second half needs to be much better or we're dropping points.

[ngogswilly]

Just pressing like headless chickens and getting pulled out of position all over the place. Flanagan and Henderson in particular have just been over eager at times and left us exposed. Coutinho is half asleep too. 

 

We just need to get our heads right, sort our shape out a bit and we'll be alright. If we don't do that though Southampton will get at least 1. 

[Dr. J]

How bad was that? Surrendering 75% of the pitch and hoping for a counter is exactly the shite we did in the opening games, where we were run off the pitch in the second half and held on for narrow wins.

 

Let's play attacking football. And get Gerrard and COutinho off. Gerrard is up to his jogging speed today and Coutinho can't hold to the ball for a second.

[Phoenix]

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

 

Jogging around. The back four were on their own 25 or so minutes.

[therevivalist]

The longest 45 mins; thank God we kept our lead at the half. But we really rode our luck there; I think we need to bring on Sterling since Coutinho has just been a wast of space. Sterling should at least trouble them with his pace.

Spot on.Need a kick in the arse.

[Paco]

coutinho still showed glimpses of why he's on.

 

he can unlock them with a pass if we can get the ball to him in the right position.

 

however, counter attack seems like our best weapon and sterling would give us more of that.

[J-V]

"a Theo Walcott finish" fuck off Redknapp you twat.

[thompsonsnose]

Johnson and Coutinho need hooking.

[Captain]

Luis nets his 62nd goal in 100 games for Liverpool. What a fucking goalscoring record!

[Paco]

Johnson and Coutinho need hooking.

 

didn't like that block then?

[Kevin D]

"I don't think Flannagan's tried to hurt Luke Shaw, there."

 

Yes, yes, that should stick.

[J-V]

Lallana looks like he should be playing the fiddle for Mumford and Sons.

Need another one here.

[Son of L8]

We seem to have got this game plan of score early, then sit back and let them come on so we can attack on the counter. When it works it's fucking incredible, that's basically how we arseraped the Bitters in that first half, but its not going to work if we can't pick a damn pass. Every forward ball is either going into touch or straight into a Saints player and when it comes back they walk right through us.

 

Something's got to change. There's been space going forward if we can exploit it.

[J-V]

Need another one here.

 

Get 3 just to be sure.

[Caramac]

Southampton pressing and working hard to win the ball back.

 

Hopefully they won't be able to keep it up much longer.

[magicrat]

Johnson and Coutinho need hooking.

I would sub Allen for Sterling. Get back to lineup we have played for the last few games

Regarding some of the comments in this thread.. we are actually winning aren't we? It's not just my eyes playing tricks?

Anyone would have thought that we have won already.

[G Richards]

Stevie, Allen and Henderson all need to step it up and get a grip in that midfield. Sterling to come on for Coutinho, push Shaw back and put them on the back foot a bit more. We can easily win this... the problem is, on the evidence of the first half, so can Southampton!

We are lucky to be ahead, I hope our good fortune keeps up.

[J-V]

Johnson will be ripped apart now.

[Paco]

davis was their weak link I thought but ramires could leave them defensively weaker
