[CC] Southampton (A): Match Thread

[gratziani]

Every time you watch a game nowadays the crowd howl at any kind of challenge asking for a foul. grrr

[The_weatherman]

Randall is having a similar game as his first one, he also started poorly then but grew into the game. He needs experience and confidence and who knows.

Can't believe foxtel isn't showing this game. Having to suffer a stream.

Also away fans > home fans. No surprise.

[Buzzo]

No hugs for Sturridge.

[I, Ravel Morrison]

Great call by Klopp to bring Sturridge off. Both to rest him and get another quick player in who can also put in a shift.

[Muddled]

No hugs for Sturridge.

He's clearly on his way out in January.

[Irishnev]

Credit where it is due - Allen playing well

[gratziani]

No hugs for Sturridge.

Got to get some bubble wrap on first just to be safe

[I, Ravel Morrison]

Jaysus. How dominant is Allen this game.

[Buzzo]

He's clearly on his way out in January.

Or maybe he is too fragile for hugs?

Joe 'Pirlo' Allen living up to that beard tonight.

The midfield 3 have been fantastic.

[Muddled]

Allen - not playing the Lucas role (coz Lucas is there) - offers something to us in terms of squad depth. He's pulling the strings nicely in central midfield.

The Welsh Pirlo

Can booked and suspended against Newcastle.
