Very, very frustrating. We're really struggling to find any penetration at all in the final third. This set of players were carving teams apart earlier in the season, now it looks like we've forgotten how to create chances.

Southampton look so dangerous on the counter attack as well, we've got away with a few at the other end.

Not really good enough so far.

Still, Southampton have had more than enough chances to put the game to bed both this week and last and haven't taken them. We need to take advantage.

Very lethargic. Need to pick up the pace

Chakan · « **Reply #2 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:47:47 pm »

No point having Sturridge on the pitch anymore.

There's still 45 more minutes of dry humping to come.

That midfield is too slow.

We need a Marouane Fellaini...Lolqq

Fucking shite that, too many players happy to play 5 yard passes an let someone else take a risk. Other than Danny and Firmino, no one is looking to try an commit their man to break his shape

sms1986 · « **Reply #8 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:48:16 pm »

Not too bad, we've had some good chances and so have they. I think if we can get a goal early on in the second half it'll wake us up a lot.

Enjoyable game, ref is doing well, letting the game flow.

Trent A A excellent again.

I actually think he's been the only one doing anything remotely inventive near their box

Sides seem to be setting up to negate Klopps free flowing football, seen it in recent weeks. Up to him to mix it up a bit and change it round.

CoventryYNWA · « **Reply #16 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:48:49 pm »

Too slow, these little passes to each other under no pressure help nobody. Someone needs to take game by scruff of neck and drive the ball forwards.

What has happened to the Can vs Dortmund last year he just looks like he is scared to play and is always playing safe

Zlen · « **Reply #17 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:48:51 pm »

Can and Henderson slowing every play, Trent outshining most on the pitch and had our other player been expecting good balls from him, we would have had more chances. All in all, we may sneak a goal, but we're not scoring three tonight - if they score it's over.

keyop · « **Reply #18 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:48:54 pm »

Wijnaldum for Can. We are too slow in the build up and when we win the ball back.

Keep plugging away and the breakthrough will come (but keep it tight at the back...).

Solomon Grundy · « **Reply #19 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:48:56 pm »

Keep calm. A lot can happen in the 2nd half. 5 goals were scored in the 2nd 45 on Saturday. Let's just hope we can get two or more without reply this time.

liverpool185 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:48:57 pm »

Awful performance from us.

Exactly the same as the first leg. No pace in the team, no movement, know one willing to go the extra mile to create something. We are extremely lucky not to be 3/4 down.

Don't know what's happened to this team since the new year but it's not looking pretty for the rest of the season.

ShrewKop · « **Reply #21 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:48:58 pm »

Lucky to be 0-0. We're so slow getting forward Southampton are having no problems what so ever.

lgvkarlos · « **Reply #22 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:49:06 pm »

From the most exciting unpredictable team In the Prem to the slowest and most predictable, whats happened to us.
Every player wants 5 touches.

We CAN win..

Not..

Motty · « **Reply #24 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:49:08 pm »

Depressing.

How come every time they atrack they slice through us like butter.

Hope to fuck we see a reaction from them 2nd half.

RedBlakey · « **Reply #25 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:49:14 pm »

Jeeezzzzz sometimes it's an absolute joy watching us, other times it's so frustrating, guess which one tonight is !!

Redsnappa · « **Reply #26 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:49:14 pm »

All perspiration, no penetration.

Why are so many players out of form at the same time, it's just weird.

Caston · « **Reply #27 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:49:23 pm »

Far too slow, really disappointing. There's a cup final to be had here lads!!!

Schmidt · « **Reply #28 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:49:26 pm »

Southampton our new bogey team? They know how stay compact and have the energy and pace to break against us at will, and even when they do come at us we don't have any pace to counter with.

Le_Mot_Juste · « **Reply #29 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:49:39 pm »

Saints should have a comfortable 6 goal margin over us over the 2 legs thus far. No exaggeration. Fair fucking play to them, like. Incredible effort on their part. Pathetic on ours.

chrisevry · « **Reply #30 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:49:44 pm »

Injuries have ruined Sturridge beyond repair, Mane is so vital to us now, and Can is not good enough.

Other than that were still in this and one goal changes it all. Come on Redmen!!!!!

Garnier · « **Reply #31 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:49:49 pm »

Seems like the only way to break the first line of defence (Soton's midfield) is by individual skill (dribbling past players, special combination play).

markedasred · « **Reply #32 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:49:49 pm »

My slight concern about that half was the strikers going deep again in search of the ball. Need to get the service sharpened, this will up the amount of chances taken.

What good chances were they? Sturridge and Firmino with tame shots on target is all we've mustered.

Barneylfc∗ · « **Reply #34 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:50:01 pm »

The players need a boot in the bollocks. I'm not sure if it will help, but at least they'll get a boot in the bollocks

Pie Eyed · « **Reply #35 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:50:03 pm »

Possession is good, but we need a better plan against the 9-man defence than either shooting from outside the box or lumping in a cross.

We were the same against Portsmouth/Southampton/Swansea, basically since the turn of the year - We are not ManUre under fucking Moyesy.

STOP FUCKING LUMPING IT IN !!!!!!!!!

Southampton fans - perhaps if you sang some songs about your own players you wouldn't be a small time feeder club.

Caligula? · « **Reply #39 on:** January 25, 2017, 08:50:15 pm »

Carbon copy of Swansea. No movement, long shots, and crosses as if we've got Ibrahimovic in the box while aways looking like we're going to concede on the break. Should be losing to be honest if it wasn't for Karius again.

Something needs to change, and fast. Need to turn around about a month's worth of poor form in 45 minutes.
