Southampton At Home 7.5.17

[an tha]

Yes. With a shit load of injuries and a few reds.

has shitcoat put out his reserve team then? which will probably be still worth 300m and have 10 internationals - the poor hard done by beaut him

[Guest Pistonbroke]

If you look at the stats for the game today you'd think we battered a team but were unlucky, clearly not the case though.

 

Possession 65%------35%

Shots 17-4

On Target 8-0

[JustTosh]

Jurgen Klopp!

 

You knew perfectly well what to expect from Soton. After all we haven’t scored on them for 3 matches this season before today.

 

Still you start with 3 defensive midfielders and no Lallana, no Sturridge. But letting a limp play, who couldn’t score in a whore house is what you pin your hopes on! 

 

Then you just sit there and watch the paint dry. And do what?  Exactly nothing! Not until the stress starts when it’s 15-20 mins left you react!

 

How do you have the nerve to criticize the bad atmosphere when you give us absolutely nothing to cheer about. Moron!

[Captain]

Fuck me that was shit. And Klopp wonders why many of us doubt his team?!

 

Let's hope Arsenal can save us today.

Mixed team, Rooney up front, Bailey, Rashford and Pogba on the bench. 

[J-V]

How many times in a row has Klopp failed to win a Final with a team he's managed now?   Clearly shits the bed when it comes to getting a team over the line, nowadays.

Just been told that was forsters first ever penalty save in the premier league - 9 faced

 

 

You couldn't make it up could you.

[Lee909]

At least i wont miss any games as we will be playing in Thursday

If I'm being completely honest, after that, I'm struggling to see us winning the treble this season.

[Grinch]

One thing that's absolutely sure, if we stumble into 4th, we'll fall right back out of it without huge investment and the fans will turn on Klopp for not over achieving yet again.

 

Round and round we go.

You don't need to make it up when we're involved.  We're always happy to oblige.

it is quite amazing isn't it

[suzy]

Mixture of both for me.

 

The players weren't good enough.

 

But, while it's not a Klopp Out rant, you've got to place some blame on the manager.

 

Not overly annoyed by the starting line-up. Lallana and Sturridge maybe could've started. But, we are second guessing Lallana's fitness. Klopp knows more about that than we do. Sturridge. I don't know. He showed a few glimpses and more than Origi, which wasn't hard. But, there were still times when you could tell he's not the player he was and that his movement and ability to run was laboured.

 

But, in terms of changing the game from the bench, a lot lies with Klopp. Firstly, you can say he left the changes too late. Secondly, you can also question if they were the correct changes. It's ridiculous that we spent the entire 94 minutes plus trying to play through the middle of Southampton. The subs did little to change that. I'd have looked at one of Moreno or TAA in the 3 behind the striker. Maybe both. Maybe even Milner on the right. Don't go full alehouse, but get a bit of width and fizz some crosses in. Win corners. Hope for a nicely falling second ball in the box. Make Southampton defend facing their own goal a bit. Maybe they'll slice one in themselves. We didn't do that enough. And it was largely comfortable for the Southampton defence. Holding a line on the edge of their own box and not getting turned around. Then they had the comfort of Davis and Romeu offering a shield in front of the back four too. And we persevered in trying to thread the perfect ball through it. Utterly baffling.

 

Individual wise, Mignolet, Lovren, Matip and Lucas were okay. Can't grumble about Grujic or Lallana, because of fitness. Glimpses from Sturridge. But, nowhere near good enough from the rest.

 

Just about sums it up

Klopp: "It was just one of those days..."

 

Hmmmm... I doubt if we played that match 10 times over, we would've scored a goal.

I would back us to score at least 1 out of 10 spot kicks

Can't believe he waited till nearly 3 quarters of the game to bring on Adam and Danny.. why not at half time and make a fuckng game of it

Fuck off superfan, so much for YNWA eh?

[J-V]

it is quite amazing isn't it

 

If I'm honest not any more.   Whether it's dogshit keepers having Worldies against us.  Dog shit players scoring hat tricks or breaking their ducks scoring against us.  Us buying absolute shit that no other cunt would touch Konchesky et el.  Nothing surprises me any more when it comes to this club.

[Thoth]

At least 6 of that starting 11 can fuck off in 2 games time

it's all about having the right options which means the right depth and balance in squad.

 

no mane, no lallana, no henderson is a blow but we should have enough like for like replacements or enough options to tweak it and not have to put out a side with players out of form or doing a job they aren't best at...

 

Lucas has been boss lately - but we don't need him and Can in a midfield at home to bus parkers - it isn't the right mix for what we are facing.

 

An out of form Origi shouldn't be in side.

 

Our front 3 set up shouldn't have to see players being asked to play in different roles across it whenever we have injuries within it.

 

We may yet get away with a top 4 spot this season but we chose to throw away a tilt at the fa cup because of lack of depth on squad - or title bid died when mane went to africa and cou got injured so we ended up with a front 3 that was a mess and sqaure pegs in round holes all over it.

 

we say it all time but our squad is unbalanced and has nowhwhere near enough depth - all this is before we look at lucas playing at centre half at times and our left back make and do situation (albeit milner has got on with it as best he can)....depth, depth fucking depth!

[Paulie Dangerously]

Yawn.
