12 Nov, 15:00 Liverpool Vs. Southampton

[Lee909]

Last game before the break

 

3pts required

 

[an tha]

Just win.

 

Then hopefully this break for that shite in Qatar will help us get injured players back and sort some problems out.

 

It also helps bridge the gap to Jan and the start (or what should be) of the desperately needed midfield rebuild.

 

I never thought this break would be a good thing - but it could be for us.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Need to stay focused and sharp to avoid the dreaded New Manager Bounce. They've got some players who are decent on their day; we've got more who are better on their day. 

 

Just get these beat, Reds.

Lee909 is doing the match threads? Stig been binned off?

The last game for a while. Thank fooooook

Wisdom. Right decisions. Energy. Class. Know-how. Effervescence. Determination. Incisiveness. Tactical nous. Ruthlessness. Accuracy. Luck. Poise. Heart.

 

I don't ask for much.

 

The last game before the World Cup break then, against a side that has just replaced their manager. Southampton under Hassenhuttl were pretty much as Southampton have been since they returned to the top flight. A team that had spells where they looked decent enough to challenge for a European place, and at other times a pure relegation bum. Those 9-0 hammerings are still the abiding memory of his time in charge there, even though they are not representative of it. They've replaced him with Luton manager Nathan Jones, or at least had discussions as I write. All I know about him is that he's a bit of a God-botherer who quotes Bible passages in team talks and press conferences.

 

Momentum is everything, even with a forced winter break. It's about time we started building it, and a win tomorrow will at least provide a brighter outlook going into the resumption of the season in December. It requires everyone to step up a level (some need to step up a couple) so that we get to where we claim we belong. No excuses.

I got the Napoli one up because the site was back online not long before kickoff. So was told to carry on after a win. 

[ZonkoVille77]

Shadow boxing to keep warm. Running up those steps on the Main Stand like Rocky Balboa. 

[Pete]

A win please lads before the shit show in Qatar starts. 

[Aventus]

Klopp banned for this match, after the FA appealed against the decision. 

 

Pricks, mad that there's an independent commission specifically to make these decisions and the FA decide they don't like it when things don't go their way and appeal against it. 

 

Probably would have been better missing the Cup game but at least they're doing it now, our next game is the blue mancs so it's good he isn't banned for that instead. 

[Pete]

The FA are fucking useless.

Would he have been banned for the EFL Cup game? Players now only get banned for the domestic competition they got a red card so a red in a PL game doesnt carry a suspension in an EFL or FA Cup game.

 

But I agree. They introduced an independent panel but gave themselves a double jeopardy clause. This at the least should have a high bar for a successful appeal such as new or unseen video evidence and not, the FA dont like the decision.

Righto, you must be one of these who have loads of blubber to insulate themselves and stand in the ground shirtless throughout the game. 15 degrees aint 'balmy' especially with a northerly wind behind it.

Behave, I've got a spare tyre but I'm pretty far away from having blubber!  BTW the wind is coming from the South at the moment hence the unseasonably warm weather.  Keep your fucking long johns on mate.

He’ll have his hands wrapped, there’s no two ways about that.

Ha, I'll look for someone dressed as Scott of the Antarctic carrying the Daily Telegraph under his arm tomorrow outside then @dockers_strike!

I fucking hate the FA....can't wait to enjoy the failure of their team in that shite in Qatar

 

Cunts.

 

Liverpool are understood to be disappointed by the decision but accept the outcome, with Klopp having already admitted to a charge of improper conduct. The club are also unhappy with an appeal process that led to their manager being banned with fewer than 24 hours to go before the Southampton game, which kicks off at 3pm.

I think that's just for yellows. As far as I know reds carry over to all domestic competitions.
