The pool really do have a shell of a squad. Klopp needs some money big time.

You conclude that from one away goal being conceded?

Bring Coutinho on? Too soon?

No, plenty of time and you're pressing forward.

No I conclude that by the 11 on the pitch. It's a weak team, and the bench is worse.

You need investment it's clear for all to see. The squad is thin and the likes of Klavan as a replacement for Matip sums it up.

I'd say we need players more than money. No point putting a shirt and boots on a stack of €50s

Counthino worse than what's on the field

Osmosis Jones

Hilarious that they boo Lovren and he passes to Clyne and they stop, it's as if they've forgotten who they had.

Agent Coulson

This could be the game to get Daniel off the bench early and give him a run out.

Harry Palmr

Some imagination is needed on dead balls - Lallana was free as a bird loitering on the right of the Saints area but ignored.

ERG89

Lucas is the opposite of what Klopp wants in in a midfielder. 30 minutes minus Mane but feel this team is so slow in possession.
Is Niall Quinn busy? Just I'd rather listen to a shovel scraping a pavement than Alan Smith

niallo27

My God this is a brutal game.

Osmosis Jones

What kind of shout is that? Great tackle from Lucas.

Lallana too.

SlickRic

I hate the way that sort of tackle by Lucas is so often deemed a foul that players expect a free or penalty for it.

Does the away goals rule apply in these semis?

Vicxas

We're not playing well at all.

Heavy touches. Poor passes.

~Rebel~

I think it's because of how Lovren left, rather than just being a former player.

He was the most vocal of the group about wanting out. Surprised they're not booing Lallana though, since he did similar to a lesser extent, and they've boo'd him in the past.

Put a pair of gloves on them aswell and you have a better keeper

Agent Coulson

Liverpool could do with Origi on with some pace and direct running at the Southampton defense


Southampton also look like they have an extra man over Liverpool.

Osmosis Jones

Redmond and Bertrand passed it between themselves about 6 or 7 times there with 3 Liverpool players on them, no one getting close.

After extra time in the second leg if still level then.

Osmosis Jones

Firmino should've kept that in easy, hit it across goal.

We haven't played well since second half against boro
This Southampton side are going through an awful spell really struggling for confidence hammered by Everton and Spurs and beaten by West Brom

Yes, sorry, you're dead right.

Didn't look at the username properly.

5starpool

Brutal stuff so far. Hopefully Klopp can fix it at half time.

Van Dyk won't have an easier game. Sturridge is so anti movement it's unreal

BorneTobyWilde

Should be no goal keepers, and no players allowed in 6 yard box
Would make it more interesting game to watch

Osmosis Jones

Fantastic save, really sad defending.

5starpool

Hilarious defending. How is it not 2?

super_furry

This is awful from Liverpool. Same old problems in defence, with Sakho going, Klopp needs to bring in a centre-back.

sReq | uTeK

Great save but how did Bertrand get by

klose

Fcuking hell!! Klopp will be giving the lads rockets at h/t not in the game at all.

blueser

Should be 2 there. Woeful defending.

I said before a scarecrow with brushes for arms would do a great job for us :pac:

~Rebel~

Great save from Karius!

Brutal play in the buildup though.

DrumSteve

That save could make him.

Vicxas

Defending. Overrated

LuckyGent88

Redmond has to score that.

Agent Coulson

DrumSteve wrote: »

The defending in front of him will kill him though.

Osmosis Jones

Not to focus on him too much but I haven't seen Sturridge challenge their defenders once from a Liverpool goal kick, they're just given free reign to nod it back to their midfielders.

ERG89

SAVE_US_Karius!

Liverpool playing as slow as possible. Can looks like he ate 10 pizzas he's so laboured.

BorneTobyWilde

Long periods of Liverpool play followed by Southampton chance

sReq | uTeK

Sturridge is so brain dead

Agreed. Defending is so last year!

Karius has done well.......poor all round otherwise.

There is some ****e going on in front of him tonight.

Sure half of them are asleep.

It was straight at him tbf
I thought it was a poor shot, should have placed it in the corner
Southampton may rue the chances missed but to their credit deserve the lead
Is this Liverpools best defensive partnership available at current?

5starpool

Origi on at half time for Can or Lucas, change the system a bit. Coutinho on for Sturridge then with 25 left.
