Liverpool v Southampton Match Thread 4.15 KO

[Lee]

No ideas in the final 3rd but defensively much better shape and we are starting to look like a side that can actually defend.

Origi looks out of his depth so far but he's been chucked in the deep end through necessity, hopefully we'll see Firmino and Benteke on to give us a bit more up front

We've been really unlucky with injuries this season and Klopp has only been here five minutes.

It will take time but the last three games have been an improvement and we started well today. Give it time.

[Fredo]

Carra saying we're playing like a church choir and not the heavy metal football Klopp is supposed to like.

[McDermotX]

I'm sure they will be. Origi is not suited to the lone striker role & needs a partner up there with him. Not a fan of this system with our current crop of players. Would rather go the 442 route.

There is a logic to it alright. Part of the issue of bringing in a new manager with the handicap of trying to get a season really started without having any input with the current crop of players, and no window in which to change it.

Klopp said we would build from the back and that's what were doing. As soon as skrtel can be replaced the rebuilding will be complete.

Anfield being like a library is ****e.

So much better defensively, good to see Benteken on.

Come on Lee - some people have already given it nearly four hours already. How much longer do you expect people to wait?

Agree with all that Lee but you'd expect the 2nd string players would know how to make runs in behind or be able to shoot etc but we look clueless up front & devoid of ideas. Coutinho's loss of form highlights that though.

Benteke on

[tanner]

Origi was that bad in the first half, if we'd already made 3 subs, I'd have still taken him off.

Good point.

[Kenneth]

Still hopeful about my Benteke hattrick prediction.

[Gibbo]

We've already, like against Kazan, seen the difference between a striker that has good positional knowledge and one that doesn't.

[McDermotX]

Better.
