Southampton fc v Liverpool fc 3 pm

Johnson really has let the boo boys get inside his head (and he's been ropey anyway recently)

We dont need to play anyone at football. We have enough competition with the pro and anti Rodgers teams tearing strips out of each other.

Maybe someone could open a match thread,you know, for like, football?

He needs game time (and a goal) to get back in the swing.

He missed one league game. It's not like he had a broken leg.

Yep. Supporting Liverpool just seems to be an afterthought for some when the chance arises for a cheap dig

mike65

I suppose its nice for Suarez that Johnson is getting all the abuse.

Good work by Jones with that throw.

Heart skips a beat when a high ball goes in to Jones!

Not doing too badly in fairness to him

I'd take that as an insult if it was from a poster who's opinion on football i valued.

Johnson's touch has been very poor.

Ardent

Johnson having a mare today

Leiva

Is anyone else mixing up Sureaz and Coutinho when they are on the ball?

Very similar styles.

We've been awful second half as well. No control at all

The feeling is mutual darling.

Southampton have been impressive today. Not letting us play

Grayditch

Good blocks by Lucas, so far, but his passing is dangerously weak.

niallo27

It justs seem very tame out there. No intensity. Don't seem like a team losing.

Ah Sturridge, ffs

Whats wrong with the team selection? Yeah, Lucas should be in for Allen, or Hendo if he wants to rest Lucas, but the rest is our best 11 besides Reina and Carra (and frankly, we should be able to rely on Agger and Skrtel, at least one of these need to be bench players next year).

I'd be questioning the players to be honest, Agger, Skrtel, Johnson, Allen and Gerrard are nowhere near the level they should be and have shown us this year.

To be honest I think that we've got away with it a lot this season.

If you're banking on the team you're playing being ****e then the 424/4231 we've played at times is fine but it's volatile and easily countered as Southampton showed today.

Now Lucas is almost good enough that we can pull it off most of the time but we really struggle under pressure in midfield and that's something that Rodgers has seemingly chosen to ignore.

Southampton were never going to be able to keep that pace up but on the flip side, it's down to blind luck that we didn't end up 3 or 4 nil down.
If a proper team really puts us under the sort of pressure that Southampton did I'd be extremely worried, whether or not lucas was in there.

Arsenal winning, 3 points vital now

Kess73

Midfield still giving the ball away time after time.

mike65

Terrific from Jones

Nuri Sahin

That was excellent from Jones to be fair to him.

Kess73

Very good save by Jones. Midfield went missing again to allow that attack through.

Grayditch

They have us pressed so far back, we'll be very lucky to grab one more.

Nuri Sahin

Game over.

Grayditch

Game over.

mike65

Game is over, a run straight through the middle by Rodriquez.

whatawaster

That's ******* disgraceful defending

Bloody pathetic

messinkiapina

Awful, we've been given another timely dose of reality today.

missingtime

What a **** display of defending.

Only 7 points off 4th!

Leiva

Pathetic.

Grayditch

He walked in and took that. That was infuriating to watch.

Knex*

Worse than the Villa game. Pathetic.

markie29

abysmal defending yet again
there is also a huge difference in work rate between the 2 teams

Gbear

What the **** was Skrtel doing there?

Has he heard of tackling?
He just watched him, run past and shoot.

Dcully

Saints the better side out there.
1 step forward two steps back yet again for Liverpool

grohlisagod

Absolute carbon copy of Benteke's goal at Anfield.

Washington Irving

Incredibly slim chance of fourth (or even fifth) is gone. Nothing much left to play for now.

daRobot

Terrible from skrtel

Vicxas

This has to be our worst performance this year.

el dude

Lucas and Skrtel there, what in the ****? You'd think we were cruising 4-0 how casual they were.

whatawaster

Bit late for Henderson now

Kess73

Lucas and Gerrard non existent in the centre. Made it easy for him to get in on goal.


Roll on the summer when we can bring in at least one more CM who is good on grass as well as on paper.
