Redmond finding space against us again.

Certainly won't be the last time tonight either I'd say.

Surprised Redmond didn't take that on

Ref letting a lot go here. In pool's favour for the moment.

Funny how the refs are clearly more lenient in this competition

Sturridge jogging while Lallana & Firmino sprint after the ball

Harry Palmr

Milner not quite at it (again)

marklazarcovic

emre can the backpass man

5starpool

Firmino down there for a sec off the ball? Hopefully nothing.

Edit: Seems to be ok anyhow.maybe tying a lace.

citytillidie

another ref who does not know the rules about goal kicks and going inside the box before the ball is outside the box, you think they would know after the Leicester goal this season

Osmosis Jones

Great turn from Sturridge, saw his name in lights after that and couldn't help himself but try to take them all on rather than pass.

BorneTobyWilde

Sturridge so easy to defend against when he doesn't have they ball at his feet.. so give it to his feet.

5starpool

Should have done better with the shot Sturridge. Not easy, but still a poor shot.

Vicxas

Sturridge unlucky there

~Rebel~

Oof, great chance there if Sturridge had helped it on to firmino.

BorneTobyWilde

The whole of the keepers right was open, straight at keeper.

Charlie19

Home crowd is fairly quiet.

5starpool

Straight at the keeper again. Hateful. Poor by Firmino.

Harry Palmr

TAA looks very good in attack with his control

citytillidie

Since when is the league cup make or break for a season?

~Rebel~

Starting to find openings now at least though.

Osmosis Jones

Great piece of play that, each player taking one touch and releasing

Pepp1989

Can is poor again. So so laboured.

Terrible, stuck in a low gear.

Yeah they are usually loud alright!

Osmosis Jones

They rarely mention shirt-pulling against us as much as they do when our players do it. Sky still suffering from a "keep an eye on Skrtel" hangover.

BorneTobyWilde

The new rule about pulling in the box was great for the opening week of the Premier League.

Lovern lucky. Clear penalty under current rules.

You seem to be on a late stream Toby, a couple of mins behind the action.

5starpool

Good cross by Trent.

BorneTobyWilde

Great ball by Trendy

Osmosis Jones

Lovren is the worst. Never let him join in on attacks, he always tries a difficult pass or shot and loses possession.

Nope, just posting slow.

Not as bad as Can who's passes kill any forward momentum. Lallana is kept quieter without Gini's passing.

kingshankly

Starting to play a bit now
Firmino quite poor

Tusky

Coutiniho is playing a stormer. Really wish Firmino would get out of this slump (I know he scored twice at the weekend).

Osmosis Jones

Milner knows who's behind him in goal, stop him having to make a save by any means necessary.

BorneTobyWilde

A lot of wind out there, playing it's part

5starpool

We're showing a lack of invention around the box again. Doesn't bode well. Definitely the nervier of the two teams at the back.

Osmosis Jones

Emre Can again, gets a pass and turns towards his own goal.

KevIRL

Do away goals count differently in this competition in the event of an aggregate draw?

Osmosis Jones

Great save, TAA getting beaten far too easily on that side.

martyos121

Karius you legend.

After extra time only. That's the only difference. If it is 2-1 to Liverpool at full time then it will go to extra time. No further goals will see Southampton go through without pens.

BorneTobyWilde

Need to run at this block of players, force it more. Who cares if it breaks down, better than passing 25 times and losing ball.
Force it in and around box.

Great Karius !

Pepp1989

Firmino needs to play through the middle. Sturridge off for origi. Can off for gini. We would be mucho improved.

Only after extra time.

Shocking take by him. Klopp must be a bit naive if he thinks he can play him in to form in games as important as this.

Karius excellent save there.

murpho999

Karius's first real save at Anfield.

~Rebel~

Karius showing his best quality again there. Really great at being in exactly the right spot to get in the way of a shot.
