Just finished watching the match, the first 10 minutes were horrendous, like we stumbled out of bed and stubbed our toe. Then we realized we're awake and we should really crack on! Fantastic from Sturridge's goal onwards. That's what Sturridge can bring to the team, control, touch, jink to the left and it's 1-1. Can plays the pass of the season but Sturridge still had to finish it, clinical and we're away and sailing!
After that it was game management and then Moreno showing he hasn't lost his touch from Spurs (don't think Origi knew too much about it) Moreno does however need to control himself a bit better defensively, that will come though. Origi's 2nd was a thing of beauty, run onto the ball and bang a rocket that almost broke the net! Ibe's goal was something he tried to do on the weekend at Swansea but slipped just before the vital strike! No slip this time and it was inch perfect into the corner. Origi was just having fun at the end. Shout to Smith for the cross though, that was perfect.
A real proper 6-1 thrashing. Thanks for showing up Southampton but you didn't stand a chance. Everyone clicked nicely, pity about Can and his soft yellow, misses the game at Newcastle but Milner is back and so is Henderson so we should be ok.
Just a fantastic all around performance.
Randall will have better games as well, got absolutely mauled in the first couple of minutes but settled down.
Onto Stoke!
