Lucas is fast becoming a liability.

The one thing he has to do is track runners and he lets Clyne run in behind him. If he can't do that he has no value.

Never a penalty.

Bray Header

People blaming Lucas..I honestly think it was Johnson's fault..it was Johnson's man, Johson saw the run, and decided not to track him

You're telling me that not one Liverpool fan has talked about last season or the fact that they've lost their top striker who really dug them out of a lot of holes last campaign?

I didn't say not one Liverpool fan has talked about it. All you have to do is read the LFC thread on here to see the vast majority moved on from not winning the league and Suarez leaving weeks ago.

Your claim that "all the pre season talk has been talk of "last season" and the pressures of this season without Suarez" is simply incorrect.

It's both of their faults tbh. Just so happens that they're our 2 worst players.

5starpool

Allen preparing to come on apparently.

Ganymede Glow

Liverpool offering nothing in the way of penetration in this second half

Sturridge has been poor enough too.

Sterling strong as an ox

Ward Prowse looks a tidy player.

He's had a very good game.

Washington Irving

What a chance

livinginkorea

Christ we were lucky there

Vicxas

Lambert on for Sturridge I'd say

That_Guy

Should be 1-2 up.

Stevecw

Should have scored

double GG

He had to do better with that chance!

Guy:Incognito

That's a shocking miss.

We won't be signing him anyway.

livinginkorea

Finally Lucas off, Allen on

Amirani

Really took the wrong option there Davis.

Charlie19

That was a let off.

martyos121

Hate to say it, but since we can't pass through Southampton's midfield, we should be bringing Lambert on to head the ball down to Sterling and co.

stampydmonkey

Both gerrard and lucas doing nothing at the min...we should be behind

I am pie

Lucas is distressingly bad.

BR needs to do something now because this is getting away from us.

ps/ Good. Off, hopefully wont see him again for a few months.

That's the right sub I think

Harry Palmr

Lucas off for Allen. Not a huge shock - where was Glenjo for Davis run?

Vicxas

Saints finding more space all of a sudden

GavRedKing

Huge let off

Lapin

Davis should have raspered that through the net.

Terrible defending again. :mad:

Jako8

Phew! Lucas is off. Still, though, don't think that'll be enough.

Agent Coulson

Can and Allen on for Gerrard and Lucas for me.

5starpool

This is awful stuff from Liverpool.

Gbear

That change needed to be made at half time and not after we lost control.

Hopefully Lucas doesn't start another league game this season.

ush

Well, we're stuck with Lucas now.

ManOnFire

Henderson is way too wide and out of the game, have to say the manager has to take some blame, needs a bit of a rejig and sharper passing. We're very laboured

Hardly, the window is still open. He could be off to Napoli with any luck!

5starpool

Only 1 team looking like winning this game at this point.

Utopia Parkway

Very reminiscent of the Southampton game at Anfield last season to be honest.

Bray Header

Would be fantastic if we had Markovic and Lallana fit.

Getting annoyed by the sky lads saying it would be different with Suarez..even if he was here he would be fookin banned

Sugarlumps

Pool's tempo is very slow, passing is dreadful, quietest I've heard Anfield.

Harry Palmr

This is how we should have played

---

Gerrard (if we must)

---

Hendo--Can
----Sterling--Coutinho

---

Sturridge

That_Guy

Lucas would have closed that space that Ward Prouse found himself in. Just sayin'.

Lapin

Oh my Jesus. :eek:

Amirani

Tadic very frustrating for Southampton thus far.

I am pie

Sturriddge has has nothing to go on, nothing to work with. Dont like the shape of the team with gerrard and lucas together.

Big spaces for soton to attack in the middle of the pitch. Allen isn't gonna turn this round.

As much as I'd like to, we can't duplicate Sterling.;)

Guy:Incognito

If we're lucky we might get a draw here.

Fair play to Rodgers for using the Suarez money to clone Sterling. :pac:

happyoutscan

Johnson you bottler, get stuck in ffs.

Bray Header

Did Johnson just pull out of that tackle so he wouldn't get injured? Definite transfer in the pipeline I reckon

martyos121

One good chance we've had in the game, and we took it. Converting clearly isn't the problem, creating is.
