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

Origi has done nothing the last few games.

Saints will probably regret that missed chance for Tadic there. He should have scored.

marklazarcovic

we have been quite poor for a month now,very worrying,lucky to still be in this

BorneTobyWilde

Can forcing it, taking it upon himself.

We are living dangerously.

Osmosis Jones

That was the exact same attack, Redmond gets in behind TAA and beats Matip far far too easily.

martyos121

I know it's been said a lot but we miss Mane so, so badly. Literally look like a different team altogether without him the last few weeks.

5starpool

Southampton being wasteful again tonight. We are showing no sign of being able to take advantage though. Bad shot by Davis.

And that chance too.

paulie21

Making Redmond look like Messi out there

Skylinehead

Redmonds done the same thing twice and twice his teammates have been awful.

Form has been poor longer than a few weeks.

LuckyGent88

Southampton going to regret all this chances.

Should have had the tie over after the first leg and now two glorious chances missed.

~Rebel~

Oof, ****in hell...that half a toe Hendo got on the ball to stop the shot first time was huge.

murpho999

Defence need to wake up. Southampton won't keep missing.

Osmosis Jones

Firmino beats his man and passes it to Sturridge but Sturridge is flat footed and not ready to run onto it.

5starpool

Another blind alley by Sturridge.

Pyjamarama

Can giving Trent no cover when he goes forward...

Teams are just giving us the cross every time knowing we won't likely score from it. Need more central runners.

Harry Palmr

Sturridge dancing on his own tonight.

More than sturridge and can actually move.

Poor but not as bad as since he left for the AFCON.

bur

When the last time Can made a ball winning tackle? Complete passenger for months now yet keeping his starting place. Madness.

machiavellianme

Stevens having the game of his life. Never be heard from again after

kingshankly

Trent and Matip are having mares

Look at his last few games, he has not actually done more.

Chrissybhoy

Alex Arnold will cost Liverpool the game his posistioning is shockingly bad. Doesn't recover quick enough either when liverpool lose the ball

Osmosis Jones

It's said a good striker needs to be selfish, that makes sense when it comes to choosing to pass rather than shoot, but it doesn't mean you should ignore all your teammates and try to do everything yourself.

Well drew with fućking Sunderland a few weeks ago. Most teams steamrolled them since

martyos121

Emre Can't.

Harry Palmr

I've had it up to here with Can - shocking defensive header.

Francie Barrett

How often does a player get a new contract only to down tools after?

Osmosis Jones

Christ, there's another half gone, no significant chances created. "Plenty left in it" though, I guess.

His positioning is where he should be. In klopp system the midfielder is supposed to provide the cover. Can hasn't done that.

Coutinho's easily been our best player here.

Agree to disagree but they can put migs out there if they want. Just get firmino in the middle

marklazarcovic

klopp asking the fans more than once this month to help the team,how the fcuk can you cheer this rubbish i want to ask,fans giving it plenty. things need to change on the pitch fast,enough talk

ricero

Once again there is no tempo in the play. All to comfertable for the saints

kingshankly

We must be one of the easiest teams to defend against
We create nothing just pass the ball over and back across the middle of the park it's horrible to watch the last 6 weeks

Charlie19

Very open game.

Classic formation of:

Karius

3 at the back

And everyone else all out attack.

Dirty Dingus McGee

Liverpools defence along the right is atrocious, they're making Nathan Redmond look like Lionel Messi tonight.

5starpool

Since that second half display at Bournemouth pretty much we haven't been able to attack properly, or defend for that matter in most games (with a few exceptions).

Vicxas

We just look all over the place for the last few weeks.

Are you suggesting Coutinho will down tools or has in the 1st half?

Osmosis Jones

Southampton showing us exactly what pace can do, we haven't got any in our attack right now. If we don't have pace we need to move the ball quickly and we're not, the one time we did Firmino got in and had a shot on goal.

BorneTobyWilde

Passing far to much, need to get it into box or into the gap between the two blocks of Southampton players.

machiavellianme

Truly turgid stuff. The worst is still to come I fear.
Plus, even if they did somehow pull off a win, a potential final against utd could be the worst game of all time.

marklazarcovic

we could easily be 3 down ,at home,in the first half.. shocking

Only a blip on the way to glory.

We've been ****e, but Southampton have had one shot on and another skied over the bar. Not exactly three goals worth of chances.

Not on about his offensive positioning that's fine gets himself high & wide and causes problems. Only thing say about that his transistion is poor and when in his defensive position he's poor. Example I think it was Tadic chance where he was caught and instead of getting himself behind the ball and slowing the counter attack he pressed the ball knowing he was outnumbered 2v1

Osmosis Jones

No changes, unfortunately.

EDIT: For Liverpool anyway. Long for Rodriguez for Southampton.
