EFL Cup - Southampton (Second Leg) - Match Thread

[Kenneth]

But were the better team , over these ties they have been

We kept them quieter, but offensively it was similar, huff and puff but little threat in the box against a packet back line.

[Fredo]

Hate to say it this is reminiscent of Klopp's Dortmund team. They got found out and all teams played direct against them. That was after they had success though.

It's pretty obvious how to play against us - same game in game out - we seem completely bereft on how to change it

Just need patience and make sure we don't make mistakes and get done on the counter. A few times today Lovren was culprit of this; put us under pressure straight away.

Apart from that I thought we managed to build pressure on them for quite long periods. We just need to make sure this happens more often. We only need a goal.

I'm surprised at the strength of the criticism here tbh.

...criticism might be a bit harsh, more like pure frustration at constantly hitting a brick wall on the edge of their box

i Would get Origi on and Keep Sturridge on as well.

Take off Can, bring Lallana back into midfield

Sturridge running was like Fred Flinstone before his car starts then.

I know, but this is a cup semi final and is never going to be easy.

YESSSSSSSSS!!!!! Get the **** in......





























That's what I would say if we scored a goal

What the **** happened... in a month we've gone from title contender form to dross. We can't be this reliant on one player, after all we knew the moment he signed that he'll miss January. I don't get it.

[Roboklopp]

Get past this we will only get spanked by scum if we continue to play such tepid aimless ****e.

[Fosterbloke]

That was a bit more positive, wish Lallana would pull the trigger..

Mane will be back by then... ;-)

[RedAndWhite]

**** it - time to go home, not happening tonight.

It is a balls alright. I think it is a mixture of a few things. We had a few injuries at the wrong time and i get the feeling that we have some players that are not at 100%. Also, if i was an opposition manager, then i would certainly put 11 men behind the ball and hit LFC on the break or hope for set pieces.
