Stupid dive by Sturridge.

Why the **** is Can furthest forward, he hasn't a clue what to do when he gets it.

He is the most unklopp player you can get slow and cumbersome

Well Lallana, Firmino and Sturridge can but they haven't had much opportunities.....

They don't skin players like Mané or Coutinho for instance. They shimmy past to gain half a yard of space maybe, but that's not what I'm talking about.

Surely it's a yellow for a dive

Polo_Mint

Sturridge needs to go back and perfect his diving skills

super_furry

Just don't think Sturridge's game suits the way Liverpool play now.

5starpool

A shot!

I've seen worse. "Red Monday"™ springs to mind. Or us not turning up at Anfield after Christmas would be another.

Osmosis Jones

That's a huge problem, one time we get close to have a chance and Lallana has a shot from outside the box without even looking at where he's kicking it.

Very slow tonight. Lucas and Can slow in the middle. Losing Lalana press and energy in there because he's playing further forward.

Sturridge is going to take root if he doesn't move soon and Firmino is having a really poor run of form (actually started around the time Couthino got injured).

No pace upfront without Mane id say origi will be on soon

SlickRic

Sturridge has been nothing short of an absolute shambles.

Ah right, yea we do miss that direct play and speed alright.....

machiavellianme

Too timid Bobby. Put your laces through it

niallo27

Liverpool equaliser is not far away.

~Rebel~

Would actually kind of like to see Sturridge and Can pulled, Firmino put centre, Coutinho one side, Woodburn the other, Lallana, Wijnaldum and Lucas as the midfield 3.

NukaCola

Wij off? Strange...

machiavellianme

Strange sub that

~Rebel~

So it'll be Lallana pulling back to midfield, and Couts taking his place.

Reckon that's a sign that Klopp just doesn't want to concede more.

Southampton will rue missed chances
Urgency has increased from Liverpool

NukaCola

Can has done next to nothing in the game......would have thought he'd have been taken off....

blueser

Ridiculous yellow card for Tadic there. Clear foul by Clyne.

DJIMI TRARORE

No improvement this half yet,poor poor performance

Osmosis Jones

At least Coutinho's happy to run at players.

citytillidie

Alan Smith missing Tadic with a handful of Clynes shirt lol, god the sky team are woeful

Wijnaldum was like an undercover agent in that I'm not sure was he meant to be noticed he was that anonymous.
Thankfully we are not playing a good team or the tie could be over by now.

LuckyGent88

Awful. Poor finishing have kept Pool in this tie

~Rebel~

Good quick distribution from Karius, good running by Couts...more of that.

Brutal by Southampton there, we're getting a bit lucky at times here.

Pepp1989

Liverpool are bunched in midfield. Lots of walking

Francie Barrett

We're bound to have a few bad performances in the season. Happy enough if they happen in the cups.

BorneTobyWilde

We're passing less and getting in and around them now.
Breaking down more, but at least we're knocking on door

machiavellianme

Karius has a fine throw on him. Hadn't seen much of that from him before

Heisenberg1

Get some brylcreem on for Can stat!

~Rebel~

Still actually fancy us to get a draw out of this to be honest. Will be a lucky draw, but I think we'll just get that one decent moment of quality at some point.

NukaCola

Trademark Lucas...

niallo27

Where is Lucas supposed to go there. Does the ref just want him to dissappear.

citytillidie

Can is way to slow and losing the ball way to much in this game Southampton really should be out of sight

Ardent

Sturridge has been anonymous. Time for Origi.

DrumSteve

Get origi on

Agree totally. He needs to shut the fcuk up. However; if the foul had been given, he wouldn't have mouthed off. At least, not until the next time!

Osmosis Jones

Sturridge told to show all his teammates the sheet of paper just so he'll run around a bit.

Someone needs to do a gif of that sturridge note: "put the ball in the back of the net"

Slattsy

Liverpool playing like this is a pre-season game

Osmosis Jones

No pressure at all, Can tries a bad cross field ball and puts it out of play, genius.

It's the contents of Brendan's envelope from a few seasons ago.
