Topic: Half time: Liverpool 1-0 Southampton

[WhereAngelsPlay]

We've grown nicely into the game as it's progressed. Enjoying it

Same, it's nice to see the lads given more responsibility.

[Phineus]

Gakpo is a frustrating player

Plays very slowly.

[Circa1892]

Southamptons cocky passing around from the back is doing my head in.

[DonkeyWan]

Comms appear to have turned up with the big book of footbaling cliches, opened up the chapter on 'cup magic', turned to the sub-section 'David versus Goliath' and started spouting nonsense.

Seem utterly unaware that Liverpool are playing with a near academy team. Literally no interest in it. Koumas (18) scores on his debut and they bang on about the deflection?

Fucking hell.

It is 1998 and a teenage footballer called Koumas is scoring a goal on Merseyside against a team from the South coast.

The kids have done well. You can see their inexperience at times and sometimes they get muscled off the ball too easily but this is all part of the learning they need. Another goal will settle us down…….surely it has to be Gomez.

[Kloppage Time]

What we have we hold

[David Struhme]

Another one! Where do we keep spawning these kids

[PEG2K]

Midfield can't pass. Clark can run a bit but McConnell is anonymous as an 8.
I'd rather drop Gomez to FB, McConnell to the 6, Elliott to the 8 and Bradley as RW.

[newterp]

Cody!! Finish your chance!

[Butcher Knife Roberto]

Don't think I've enjoyed watching the match on mute as much in ages. Anyway, well well well... been some nice moments in among the occasional awkwardness. Made up for Koumas though, a good run and a slightly scruffy finish, that's exactly how debut goals should be. Jarell has also been fab, I have to pinch myself as a reminder that he's still a kid.

Maybe 45 minutes from Mac to come, perhaps half an hour from Luis to tire them out. Still, it's so good to see so many young prospects get not only a run out at Anfield, but on the telly too.

[Red Beret]

Got no complaints at all. Down to the bare bones, a disjointed system - it's little wonder we've not been able to control the game as we would like. Had a few let offs, but Kelleher in fine form!

Getting a debut goal is always special, so made up for Koumas. Let's keep our heads and hold our nerve. We need to weather the storm!

Maybe that will settle Joe down in midfield. 

[Fromola]

McCoist was great on Amazon. He's just like all the others now.

Has he mentioned Konate not getting sent off yet? He's a bad dickhead.

[Nick110581]

Konate coming on

[lgvkarlos]

Regarding the commentary, I refuse to believe that lad on their left was the fastest player at the World Cup in 2002

From the same statisticians as shots on target 😂

[ByrdmanLFC]

Weird game so far, but whats funny is, that the worst player on the pitch so far (in my opinion) has scored. Before that goal Koumas seemed like he had zero confidence

[Vegeta]

This Ally McCoist is an idiot praising Southampton non stop playing a bunch of 5 years old ffs!! Anyway that's a very solid effort from us just get the win don't need some amazing performance.

[David Struhme]

Joe looking solid in midfield - is there anywhere this guy can't play? So valuable

[jooneyisdagod]

Lewis Koumas looks every bit of a modern-day inside forward. Sharp on the ball, direct, quite quick and happy to get some shots off.

They're talking as though we are full strength Liverpool. Going on about how we don't normally give this many chances away. Totally ignoring the fact that we're almost dragging passing strangers off the streets and giving them a game for us at the moment. We're that depleted.

Probably because he had very little of the ball at the start of the game. It's was at the end of the half when we started improving.

[duvva 💅]

Here comes Ibou

for Virgil

Decided before the game

Capt Joe?

[Kloppage Time]

Will there be half time subs?

[Kloppage Time]

Here comes Ibou

Makes sense

[stockdam]

Who has Konate come on for?

[Lee-87]

Was looking on Soccerway for any of their players in their 40's but could find none. It was then I realised they were full of shit. And it just got worse from there.

[misscowred]

lovely touch playing 'the kids are alright' at half time
