Southampton v Liverpool

V

13:30 Sun 20th Mar 2016 St Mary's

Liverpool return to the scene of one of their biggest victories in 2015-16 so far when they take on Southampton at St Mary's on Sunday in the Barclays Premier League.

The Reds have already triumphed on the Saints' home ground this season - and in the most spectacular of fashions when they ran out 6-1 winners in the Capital One Cup quarter-final back in December.

Klopp: "Last night was great. It was a nice feeling. It was a big thing to do to beat Manchester United."


Klopp: "Confidence is a flower. If you step on it then it's away in a second. It is harder to let it grow than die."


Klopp: "It was a perfect night for us at Southampton last time. Two good sides. They are a really good side. We need to be at 100%"


Klopp says “please don’t compare” Ronald Koeman as a defender to him as a player.

The best news is I don’t have to play against Ronald, our sides play each other!


Klopp on Moreno: "We are waiting on the scan. We saw nothing in scan which is good. But Alberto is a player who doesn't usually feel pain."


Klopp on Lovren: "I saw in his eyes when I came here he wasn't in best situation. I remember his 1st game v Dortmund. He was outstanding."


Klopp on Flanno contract decision
I was involved in the decision to offer him a new contract. How long the contract is, things like that.
Klopp asked whether he is involved in other contract decisions...

“In all....(laughs).”



'It’s an intensive time for the players'
“If it would help, maybe I would do it. But it’s only Southampton and then a two week break when all the players are around the world.

“It was intensive yesterday, so we need to figure out who will be available to play.

“And then hopefully (after the national break) they all come back healthy. It’s an intensive time for the players.”

Start Origi!

A win in this game would be massive, Southampton are above us in the table on GD, The two Manc clubs playing each other and a tricky game for West Ham at Chelsea means that a win could see us gain alot of ground on the sides above us.

Unfortunately these are the circumstances in which we usually fail to take advantage.

[Chris]

Agreed, we'll get top 4 if we win here I reckon. It will be tough but we seem to own them there in recent years and hopefully we haven't left too much at OT as we pissed that second half in first gear.

[RedReet]

It's a freebie for me. 4th place is a long shot, so I won't be too disappointed if we fall short, but it would be nice to stay in the mix at least for now.

[Shaggy]

We have amazing momentum now. ****s sake if we'd started this season with Jurgen we'd be winning the league.

It infuriates me thinking about it.

Imagine if he'd been given the Benteke money and a full preseason

250/1

[Chris]

Firmino is out of the Brazil squad with injury so he wont be playing, typical

[Norbs]

250/1

Don't suppose they'd do an e/w would they?

Edit that. Just placed £5 e/w at 200/1. That's 50/1 for us getting top 3. Worth a shot I reckon
