Topic: PL: Liverpool 2 v 0 Southampton ‘30 Mane 91’ Thiago

40 A pointless free kick Soton player going no where but we give away the foul. We head it away.

[jillcwhomever]

42 We are getting a bit careless with some of the passing at the moment, Fab there losing the ball. We then retrieve the ball but Sadio has wandered offside.

[jillcwhomever]

44 Another chance for Southampton but its straight at Alisson. But they are getting plenty of possession.

We got very lucky there… he should have buried that

[jillcwhomever]

45+1 Into added on time its all Southampton though.

[jillcwhomever]

46 We need to survive another freekick before half time, it goes in the net but there was too much pushing and shoving. Half-time 1-0.

[BobPaisley3]

Back underway.

[TepidT2O]

Isn’t a shirt pull supposed to be a yellow card?

[BobPaisley3]

49 Really good work from Mane and Jota sees Jota fire a shot in at the near post which Forster does well to push behind for a corner. From the corner Phillips has a great chance from a header but gets everything wrong and it’s a goal kick.

Forster should be saving that, but that shot was so powerful… he showed really strong wrists

And that header was….. well… something else.

We are never going to score firm a set piece again!

[BobPaisley3]

52 Trent tries a cross but it drifts behind.

Thiago has started the half really well.

[BobPaisley3]

57 Thiago fouls Redmond and it’s a free kick in a dangerous position to the left of the box. JWP plays it in but Ali does well to claim

[BobPaisley3]

59 Plenty of possession from the Reds but not creating anything of note.

Over to the goal machine, Tepid.

61 welcome  to hell.  From this point onwards disaster is our travelling companion.

[TepidT2O]

63 through ball to Tella, it takes an unkind deflection to put him in.  Williams does very very well to shield it back to Alisson

[TepidT2O]

How has tella not been booked by the way?

So many niggly fouls

[TepidT2O]

66 Southampton ring the changes Diallo and Obafemi replace Tella and Walcott

[TepidT2O]

67. Alisson saves us.  A nice diagonal into the area, and Alisson slides in to deny Obafemi

Was Williams stuck in quicksand there?

[TepidT2O]

69 Mane picks out salah in the area with a fine pass. He takes a touch and his shot is blocked.

He should have just hit it first time

[TepidT2O]

70 From the right is headed back across goal.  Diallo on the edge of the area shoots hard and Alisson palms over.

The corner goes out for a throw.

Who do they think they are? Us?

[TepidT2O]

74 long pass over the top picks out salah.  His cross is cut out before Jota can meet it.

[Rush 82]

We simply appear to be unable to score more than 1 goal in a game anymore.

[jillcwhomever]

It's so frustrating this. It's like the last attack all Salah had to do was put a decent cross in and it could have been 2-0.

[TepidT2O]

74 getting sloppy with passing at the back….  Will hurt us if we don’t sharpen up.


Over to Jill for the inevitable anticlimax to the game.

[jillcwhomever]

75 Saved by Alisson doing some wonderful keeping and coming out of his box. We're caught up field again. Then we get caught in our box and inevitabley Alisson kicks it at a Soton player and we get away with it.

[Rush 82]

Christ!

The fuck are we playing at

[Rush 82]

75 Saved by Alisson doing some wonderful keeping and coming out of his box. We're caught up field again. Then we get caught in our box and inevitabley Alisson kicks it at a Soton player and we get away with it.

Can't understand why the defender knocked it back to him in the first place

[jillcwhomever]

77 We go down field and a move endsd with a Jota shot which goes out for the corner. The corner is cleared, we win it back and it ends with Jota shooting wide.

[TepidT2O]

Christ!

The fuck are we playing at

Alisson with the mistake, but we keep giving him the ball in stupid positions.


And it’s a worry when your goalie has more high intensity sprints than your centre back isn’t it?

[jillcwhomever]

Can't understand why the defender knocked it back to him in the first place

Absolutely, you could see it happening a mile off.

Bobby on for Jota.

another great save albeit off his own blunder!

[TepidT2O]

What time do we think the inevitable will come?

[jillcwhomever]

80 Soton look sharper than us through this match. We manage to win a corner which Trent puts in and Sadio puts in but its offside.

He’d have missed if it was onside 

[jillcwhomever]

81 We briefly manage to pin Southampton into their box and now they are playing scary back passes but we can't get on to anything.

[jillcwhomever]

He’d have missed if it was onside 

Haha.

[jillcwhomever]

83 Can we cut out the back heels which don't come off please? We break and then over hit the ball.

[TepidT2O]

Nat Phillips…


He’s not a top class defender… but bloody hell, we’d have been lost without him and he has risen to the challenge like anything. He’s come on huge amounts

Big respect to him….

[jillcwhomever]

85 Chamberlain about to come on for us, Soton player down injured.
