The penalty was harsh, two players were swinging out of each other and decision could've went either way.

He mistimed two headers but there was enough players around to deal with the aftermath. He was also put under pressure by Mignolet after what should've been a routine kickout.

You're posting about Skrtel and you admit he mistimed two headers that led to goals. That's what you have to look at , when judging a player not what his teammates did after.

I thought Joe Allen was brilliant, if there was a player that dictated the midfield it was him.

Skrtel causes chaos and indecision across the backline whenever he plays. The Southampton game summed that up. The first 45 minutes were relatively comfortable, winning 2-0 and confidence was high. The 2nd 45 was a different animal altogether. It was like the back 4 hadn't played with each other at all. No confidence and making mistakes, ones that weren't there in the first half.

There was mistakes by players around him that lead to his mistimed headers.

Doubt it. I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't increasing the number of tickets in the sales.

Where would the extra tickets go to? New Season ticket holders maybe?

It'll be interesting to see how it pans out

Skrtel was brutal.

Hopefully he's not back here in August

Any Skrtel defenders now? No?

His level has dropped badly in the last year or so but I respect the contributions he has made for Liverpool down the years. Still, he's had his day and should be moved on. That being said, I dont like to see our fans harangue him now.

He should have been sent off twice.

A few thousand to season ticket holders, a whole level (new middle tier) to hospitality packages and the likes, and there may be a few left over for the members sale.

Muahahaha

Whats the latest on Sakho, has there been a date annouced for his UEFA hearing?

Francie Barrett

Joe Allen MOTM - get over the Skrtel hate. He won't even be wearing a Liverpool shirt next season.

I don't mind a player causing chaos and indecision across the backline.

It's just a pity it's always OUR backline he causes it in.

The hearing has already happened I believe, UEFA investigating further themselves though, no date for when results will be announced though I think.

Lallana playing well but needs to be more clinical in front of goal.

Standard Lallana performance, being honest.

A solid six.

Klopp performing well in the ads anyway. Our best man at the euros so far.

Harry Palmr

Lallana has been brilliant - his closing down and footwork is first class of course he hasn't scored so he gets stick!

Scoring more goals is definitely something he needs to improve on next season

Yup he's been the best player on the pitch.

Trust Hodgson to bring him off at half time.

J Mysterio

Hodgson, dreadful, terrible.

Lallana suits Klopps style but gets stick as he doesn't score enough.

Milner Coutinho and Firmino score their share of goals for AMs but they all get stick too, if Lallana scored more goals I'm sure he'd still get criticised.

Kerrigooney

Lalanna doesn't get criticised nearly as much as he used to for the simple reason he's improved. It's not rocket science.

His "improvement" coincided with having decent striker(s) on the pitch, he didn't simply improve.

Some can't quite grasp that.

He stopped spinning in circles every single time he got the ball. Became more direct but for a fella that gets into great positions a lot,his finishing is still brutal. For a professional footballer he has a terribly weak shot. Not much that can be done about that at this stage I suppose. I'm glad we have him.

Good analysis, eloquently summing up that which is obvious to posters here with the first ****ing clue about football. Not for everybody, regrettably.

Yes and I'm getting bit tired of saying it. That's about the third time now.

You need to get Sturridge to explain it.

He'd probably pick up an injury explaining it though.

He didn't have an awful lot to do but what he did he did well I thought.

Nothing he could do about the goal really.

Great experience for him.

I thought Wales were great...England should be very worried.

They'll probably sell him for £50m in 2 years.

Shame to see him go, but if Klopp wasn't going to play him then what can you do?

Confirmed £9.5 million bid for Zielinski. Nice to have something solid to post about rather than speculation.

If Zielinski joins it makes me think Coutinho might be leaving.

They want 12 million. Just give them the extra 3 million and get it done ffs

Why? Zielinski is a No 8, Gotze is the only player linked that could suggest Coutinho will leave.

Yeah I've just been doing a bit of reading about him. Seems he started as a No. 10 type but is more of a box to box midfielder now. My bad.

martyos121

Only way I'd see Coutinho gone is if PSG give us Pastore in return. I really don't see him leaving this year though, and even if he wanted to we don't need to sell him. He doesn't strike me as the type that'd throw a tantrum if he was told he was staying.

Zielinsky will probably sign regardless, and I see him competing more with the likes of Milner and Can than Coutinho.

I'd much prefer Lucas Moura from that PSG team.
