Southampton home

[Roboklopp]

The lack of urgency and fluidity is the most worrying....and the decision to start Origi and Lucas ahead of Sturridge and Lallana baffling....we are still in with a big chance but I can see this team and manager struggling in the final 2 games.

I agree with all that.

We're 3rd and that's a positive we can take, whatever our failings currently, it has been enough to get us that far.

Yep.

It's not certain that if we'd started with Sturridge and Llallana we'd have won the game. They probably wouldn't have finished the game.

Don't think i'd call that a big chance tbh,think we'd get 2 points at most from the last two games....Europa league here we come.

No it's not but the intent would have been far more evident and Sturridge did more in 20 mins than that useless piece of **** Origi

I'm disappointed in Klopp. We've played Southampton 4 times this season and we've failed to score once. He needed to change something today, try something different, but he refused and we got the same result.

I'm not sure why Lallana didn't start, I know he had 5 weeks out and played longer than he was supposed to last week but he's had a full weeks training now, we can't be leaving him on the bench now. That just can't be happening.

[Fredo]

He didn't train the full week because he played 70 mins last week. Had three days of recuperation, so that counts. Klopp and the sports science team probably know more than we know.

Absolutely, there wasn't much difference after they came and we don't know what their fitness level was.

We don't have the squad for a regular top 4 finish, we're currently overachieving, just need to get through the next two games and pick up maximum points any which way we can.

[Doc_Piptorious]

Roll on transfer season. Hopefully we can get some left/rightbacks who know how to cross a ball and give us width. We're just too one dimensional at the moment.

Would be hoping more for some new midfielders and attackers who can add pace and threat on a regular basis

[Tee]

Should have started with them, forced a quick start and hopefully some goals, then taken them off after 50-60 mins....

[Fredo]

If Arsenal win, we'll have taken a big step despite drawing today. So let's wait and see.

Well at least he'll be fully fit for the summer, when we have no games, fresh and ready for the Europa League

I think a draw is best, I know they've been poor but they always put a run together at the end of the season don't they? My mind won't let me accept it isn't coming.

Obviously the penalty was a golden chance to win the game, but not winning wasn't Milner's fault, that was a terrible performance all round, we can't beat teams that come to defend, I thought that the front 3 were really poor today, Origi was poor, Firmino wasn't on it and Coutinho dropped too deep to pick up the ball probably because of the make up of the midfield (no Lallana). We regularly play these games at a pedestrian pace assuming that the chances will come and just being happy with possession, but these are the games that we need to up the tempo and make things happen and we regularly fail to do that and that has been our undoing
