Topic: MATCH PREVIEW: Southampton Vs Liverpool 28th May 2023. Ko 4:30pm

[Andy @ Allerton!]

We can finish no higher or lower than 5th. Southampton can finish no higher or lower than 20th. Hope we do something weird and wonderful just for the hell of it. Would love Arthur to get a start, just for a laugh.

Milly in goal would be funny and Adrian and Allisson up front

4.30 k/o isn't it

Very much doubt we’ll be playing any of those that are leaving or out of contract.

Wouldn’t make sense to risk their opportunity for another contract elsewhere.

Post-embargo presser...

"booby? [cracks up laughing]"

he's so funny!

agreed, plus the obvious four already got a great send off.

there's a handful of players that you wonder if it could well turn out to be their last game, if the right circumstances come up for a move and they decide they want games - as in, they'd probably have a big market of interested parties. thinking of Tsimikas, Kelleher, Matip and maybe even Carvalho or Gomez. would be good for them to have a start, plus also the younger lads - Jones, Elliot, Carvalho again, maybe Doak and Clark on the bench.

[RogerTheRed]

Come on Redmen!!
Thanks for the tribute Paulrazor and the presser ARA. Sounds like we will see a few squad players, oh well.

[OOS]

Hope the people going have a nice time.

Everyone else, why on earth would you watch this.  I'll be supporting Bournemouth, Leciester and Leeds Sunday, in what could be one of the funniest days ever.

[RedSamba]

I want Salah to show his frustration by banging in 5 goals

[Sheer Magnetism]

Very nice intro, paulrazor. I'd like to see some of the second string get some minutes here, and I'll probably be having a look at Lavia.

[Kennys from heaven]

Ermm... Because it's our team??!!    Will be keeping an eye on the other stuff going on of course, but I'll not watch another team while Liverpool are on, so I'll be on a stream.

Southampton will want to put a good show up for their last match in the prem. We will be free of any pressure whatsoever, which could go two ways - we could rip them apart with outrageous bits of skill, or chill way too much and let them win.


Think we might treat this as a bonus pre season game though, and play all the youngsters to see how they handle a full match and who to take on pre season tours.

[Tonyh8su]

Can I shock you....?

Sources: Naby Keita misses out on Liverpool farewell
Naby Keita is set to miss out on a farewell Liverpool appearance after failing to recover from injury in time for Sunday’s trip to Southampton, sources have told Football Insider.

The Guinean has not featured in a Reds squad since their mid-March defeat at Real Madrid as a result of an unspecified muscle issue.

[Zlen]

Unspecified muscle injury.
Suitable epitaph to his Liverpool career.

[bird_lfc]

They are lambs to the slaughter I think. Last game, nothing to play for, manager leaving, generally just not a very good team

Hoping for a strong team with a few youngsters on the bench and a big win to be honest

[Jwils21]

We have absolutely nothing to gain or lose. Stick him in goal with a leg in plaster, if needed.

You can't be serious.

About to go 2 1/2 months without a match that matters and that feels like an eternity.  No way I'd not watch LFC no matter the circumstances or situation. 

(I even try to find streams for pre-season matches.    )

[Caps4444]

2nd time in 7 seasons we have nothing to play for on the final day. Other time was when we were champions.

[Lfc19ynwa]

No doubt today is the day every VAR decision goes our way

[meady1981]

I think the last time I was so disinterested in the last game of the season, we lost 6-1

[gemofabird]

Any team news?

[ToneLa]

Ibrahima Konate has been suffering with illness and Andy Robertson has had a scan on a groin issue this week, with both doubts as the Liverpool boss suggested changes will be made against the Saints.

“I won’t take any risks with players but we have a big group and in training we looked good,” Klopp said.

“It makes sense we make changes. To get fresh players on the pitch is really important, and players who want to show something.”

[Andy @ Allerton!]

No doubt today is the day every VAR decision goes our way

Yep the bent c*nts at PGMOL will be anxious to 'set the stats straight' at the end of the season given several recent articles showing just how out of kilter they are with every other club.

I honestly expect they'll give us 2 or 3 penalties and send an opposition player off.

Most damning will be if they give Mo any fouls - which they've been trying to avoid doing all season.

[StevoHimself]

Alisson and VVD haven't travelled with the rest of the team apparently.

[Schmidt]

It'd be nice to see Firmino play or Doak get a run out or something.

[gemofabird]

Alisson and VVD haven't travelled with the rest of the team apparently.

Source?

[Wabaloolah]

where did you get this from? I wish people would link when they come up with this stuff

[Draex]

Salah will play, he will want 20 goals and 10 assists.

Looking forward to some of the kids getting a chance.

If Ali and Virgil have got the day off it’s a good decision, let them have an extended rest.

[ToneLa]

Scumhampton to get battered no matter the team

Our mentality should be that of champions-elect

[StevoHimself]

where did you get this from? I wish people would link when they come up with this stuff

Think it was the New Statesman. Either that or the Financial Times.

[RedKenWah]

Much changed side, rest everyone, give Milner, AOC and Firmino a send off. Let Carvalho play and absolutely rest Mo, Diaz, Jota, VVD, Allison, Hendo, Trent, Robbo etc…. Absolutely brainless in my opinion to play anyone who is a first team starter and risk an injury in a game which is a dead rubber

[MdArshad]

It is incredibly disappointing that we drew the last match as this game today might have been a more interesting game and both the Uniteds might have a bit more pressure in their last match. We were so poor however bad the referees were.

Moving onto this game, I hope we could catch a glimpse of how well our team can do next season by playing players that will be here next season. Give those departing the club five or ten minutes if we are a few goals up. Lets end this season in a good way and produce an excellent performance.

grounds for a 3-day ban imo.

to be served once they actually post the damn link of course.

no link?  2 week ban. 

[wolves76]

Hope Solanke gets a couple of goals...oh

Solanke is great at last day of the seasons goals. Hopefully he will get it tonight.

id ban the lads like yourself asking for a yellow card. I’d also ban myself for asking for a ban for the lads asking for a yellow card

[farawayred]

Can I join the ban wagon?

[SamLad]

yeah but I'm just politely asking, with hands behind me back.

you're the one waving an imaginary card.

[Dr. Beaker]

That's actually a red.

[Samie]

Let's take Lavia back on the coach with us.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Who are the cheating inbred PGMOLwankers today?

Now it doesn't matter, I'd guess that Howard Webb will have his Manc cheats on other games?
