v Southampton League Cup Semi Final - 1st Leg Match Thread.

[Buzzo]

Milner and Clyne not at their best this evening is unusual.
Lots of our attacking threat comes from them.

[Slinky Skills]

Lovren is really slowing our play right down, pissing me off now.

[BobTheCharmer]

We are missing loads of our best players, isn't it obvious?

But still, we should be doing much better than that. Klopp rightly removed Lucas from starting in midfield ages ago so it's a little baffling to see him suddenly start a semi there. Him, Can and Wij is overkill. Can in Hendo's role would have been fine with Wij and Lallana doing their usual. Lucas and Sturridge in the same side will never lead to high tempo Klopp stuff.

If missing Coutinho and Mane isn't bad enough we are moving Lallana about, seems daft. If we are short then ****ing sign someone! In the meantime, get a midfielder off and Origi or Coutinho on. These are ****ing ****, looked shot to pieces confidence wise and we've given them a huge helping hand.

Why can't klopp change the system to utilise sturridge who is a great finisher. Why expect him to run around like a dog on heat if it isn't what he does best. If this is the squad we have, set up in a way to suit what's left even if it is the bare bones.

We've been **** since so far, we'll do well to come away with a one goal deficit.

[danperkins]

It's all sooooooo sloooow

[red g]

getting bullied here

[Buzzo]

Could you share in the necessary place please

There are a few options in there now.

[Lecter]

He hasn't progressed at all. I'm not convinced he'll be here next year.

Wijnaldum is exactly the same as Can for me

Slow, gets caught frequently in possession

Add in Lucas and you have 3 players all similar

At most you can have 1 of this type

[gratziani]

Wimps have turned up tonight

[Rich]

Second half is as bad as the first. Klopp needs to change something here - Coutinho if he can last 30 minutes for Lucas.

[Buzzo]

This is a proper Brendan era performance.

No pattern or shape to our play right now.

[kev776]

It was better when I smoked, when we played **** I could **** off outside for a fag and hope we scored, now I have to suffer without a break

Go two up top and sack a midfielder off. ****ing rubbish.

[Fosterbloke]

**** all movement. Has Klopp burnt us out?

[danperkins]

Go two up top and sack a midfielder off. ****ing rubbish.

the 3 in the middle is overkill, all to samey. Get Coutinho and Origi on up top with sturridge.
