Topic: FT Liverpool (3) - Southampton (0) - Mo 30' 41' Phil 68'

[Worgie]

Lots of shouts for a steward from behind me in the upper king kenny at about 85 minutes. Then for a medic. Lots of activity up there. Hope whoever it was is ok!

[Fitzy.]

BBC stats list them as having 5 shots off target and 0 on target.

Very similar to Huddersfield.

[Dim Glas]

Perfect afternoon indeed. And you're right about our defence, though I think it's worth saying that it was because the balanced midfield did their bit defensively, and then all of the back four won their battles. They made it look easy, and made it seem like Southampton weren't trying, but our back five worked hard for it, stayed switched on and deserved the clean sheet.

yeah very true about the midfield, and everything just looks more compact now too, which is helping.

[rowan_d]

Only saw the second half since my streams were shite in the first. Little shaky for a few minutes around the 50th minute, complete control otherwise. Exact type of performance we need to beat teams that play like that, and conserve energy for the hectic schedule coming up. Nice to keep the very good home defensive record going, let's hope we can get it going away as well.

Loving Moreno at the moment.

[jillcwhomever]

That Coutinho goal was wonderful two reverse passes before its put away with class.

[classycarra]

holy crap that's dire.

No, it's Long. Dire plays for Spurs

[Wabaloolah]

Now come on Newcastle, do the business and it'll have been a pretty decent weekend all things considered

[12C]

No, it's Long. Dire plays for Spurs

Long is dire

[Yanwoo]

Really good afternoon and, for me, there's still lots more to come from this squad - even before we add any extras in Jan. We're not in top gear yet but we're beginning to move nicely through the gears. Pleased for Lovren to have a good game, especially against his old side.

I'm excited for the return of Lallana too - I think he's particularly important against the top sides.

Cheers fella

Hendo MOM for me. played great in the first half hour when everyone was half a sleep and continued at a high level till the final whistle. Salah and Bobby very good. Back 4 were all very good again. Much needed confidence boost for Lovren. The Ox lively again in his cameo.

Too funny. Did you hear Anfield when he needlessly killed another counter attack?


Southampton weren't playing through midfield. They were hoofing it up to Long deep. Henderson wasn't troubled. Is that why you make him man of the match?

[stockdam]

Goals......

Alternatively, he realised scoring another goal was less important than not conceding one at that stage of the game so... possession was sensible game management?

Henderson was good at least, everyone was. Bit of a daft time to poke holes in performances.

[Fitzy.]

Salah and Coutinho are both weighing in heavily with goals this season. Coutinho may not get the headlines but his game to goal ratio is strong.

[rafathegaffa83]

Great result with some lovely goals and a clean sheet to boot. The back four did a good job today.

[Kashinoda]

At least Southampton fans can rest easy that once they give us Van Dijk we won't be buying any more of they players.

Yes........Henderson had a good game so why would anyone need to say anything negative.

[Red-Soldier]

A good result, some nice goals and a clean sheet.

What's not to like. 

[rowan_d]

Like Mane, he's had a very stop-start season so far. Very much looking forward to them getting a solid run of games together.

Who cares? Game management has been an issue this season. Henderson killing a counter is small potatoes and certainly not his standout moment in a really good individual performance.

Bertrand?

[Giono]

Long is dire

He is a walking example of that pundit cliche "He works hard and offers something different". Like being a striker that doesn't score.

I understand Southampton being stubborn in the summer, but they were stupid not to take the money and buy a striker or two that can score. Heck, they probably could have got a loan of Origi.

[Crosby Nick]

Nice routine win, rested the big guns at the end. Nice goals for Mo and my boy has a new favourite player.

Romeu is one filthy grock and how bad was Mike Jones?! The amount of Little pushes they got away with...

4 nice wins on the bounce, that’ll do.

I'm not. He was fine. But he was not man of the match.

You'd cite shite supporters in your favour? Weird. Not to mention that it was Coutinho that slowed that particular counter attack by playing it behind Moreno, forcing him to go back to Henderson instead of take it in his stride.

He was a contender for second best MOTM after the obvious Salah, because he played well. For you to suggest he killed multiple counter attacks it's clear you have an agenda or didn't watch the match

[Chavasse1917]

   A terrific performance, probably enjoyed that more than any other this season. What I felt would be a hard fought tense game turned out to be a very enjoyable afternoon, we looked comfortable from the moment Mo curled in the first.
   There is only one MOM and that is Mo Salah but a number of others impressed , Trent , Albi, Coutinho, Winjaldum and Mane especially. Well happy with that and hopefuly Southampton supporters get back in their box and forget about this so called rivalry they've made up.

They are a small minded bunch of wasters. I have been to the last couple of games we have played at their place and they spend all their time baiting Lovren. They were at it again today. Glad they have a long journey home.............

Was this his first time at the game mate? Would have been a nice one for his memories!

Complete performance.

Really? More deserving than Bobby? Phil?

Claiming that Hendo was MOTM is having an agenda.

I think he played well. But were any of our back 5 and Hendo really tested today?

[Sir Capon of Debaser]

Bloody hell...

Missed this pm from Capon during the match thread



The man has a dark and twisted mind.

Haha Sent it to jim n all.Thought to myself ''Christ its been a while since i sent it,they mustve took the knock,Wouldnt be surprised if they never talk to me again,let alone make eye contact''

[So… Howard Philips]

When we concede we seem to concede 3

Don't you mean at least 3.

[Sir Capon of Debaser]

Nice win that

[Flaccido Dongingo]

How did Vivian play for Southampton today?

[Crosby Nick]

Was this his first time at the game mate? Would have been a nice one for his memories!

Yes mate, had more luck with his first game than I had for mine!

[NaivetyinBlack]

Good performance. Lovren was so comfortable and Trent had a relatively good game too.

Mo is love.
