    Hassenhuttl whinging out of him, fair play to the Saint's, we deserved nothing from that game....

    a corner 30 seconds over extra time and they play it back 🙈🙈🙈


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,919 ✭✭✭simongurnick


    A short corner again in the last second?
    Looking like Spain when teams figured out how to play tiki taka. All possession but no end results.
    One shot on target. Total muck.

    Hasenutel crying at the end though. What a twat

    Really poor, and really poor decision making in the danger areas. Tried for one extra pass so so many times. Maddening.

    Fair play to Hassenhuttl, got his plan exactly right, really excellent manager in fairness. Mad to have a lad like that at Southampton while fellas like Ole, Lampard, and Pirlo sit in top European jobs.

    He's a great manager to be fair to him.

    But he followed the same tactics WBA, Newcastle, etc follow. Park the bus and watch us **** around for 90 minutes.

    That short corner routine has to go.

    That last corner sums it all up.
    Fairly clueless...very poor

    Still time to turn it around and I wouldn't bet against them. But it has to start against United...
    Couldn't care less about the FA cup

    City will win the title by 10+ points


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,253 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    Mane had the most touches but my god was his decision making atrocious, multiple times he got it at the back post and instead of just shooting he played a pass that looked more like a clearance.

    You know it’s last ditch stuff so you play a short corner and then play it further back up the pitch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,895 ✭✭✭Pepp1989


    Jota was papering over a lot of these cracks.

    The away days demise continues, it's not a blip anymore, it's a trait, kudos to the saints, fully deserved

    So so bad. Very alarming. Team looks gone, heads, legs & ideas.

    Klopp has a massive job on his hands to get some response from the team now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,790 ✭✭✭theoneeyedman


    Poor, very flat and slow on the ball for the 3rs or 4th game in a row now.

    We've had these mid season slumps before and recovered, Fvck the Cup now on Friday and concentrate on the league game Sunday week I say . Attackers look laden, the lack of rotation options catching up now all around, Gini has been ran into the ground all season and looks dead on his feet too.
    We looked like bad Arsenal again, playing over and back across the defence with no penetration.

    I flagged Trent before the game, he was shocking, and was lucky to last whatever it was 75 minutes.

    Anyway, we go again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,531 ✭✭✭emo72


    Actually a united game would suit us right now. Although I'm fairness 2 center halfs does help.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,158 ✭✭✭Akabusi


    Going to be a great second half to the season. Just happy to be in the mix considering the injuries. Next game will get us out of our little slump.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,403 ✭✭✭Ardent


    Why?

    Because he's a very good manager and was put through the ringer early into his Saints career.

    Wouldn't quite agree with that - for the whole first half especially they kept us at arms length and maintained a threat of their own. They were fitter and faster and stopped Liverpool ever getting settled in for an onslaught. Had plenty of ball in the middle of the park, and plenty of nice passing.

    Only in the second half did they start to drift further back, but even then, they didn't sit back in the same way other teams have - they didn't venture forward, but they filled space well outside their box, right out to around the 40% mark on the pitch to keep us from getting into a "its a matter of time" rhythm around the box. We had to fight for those good positions around the box instead of being gifted it.

    Also Klopp needs to use the players available to him.

    Origi is not good enough overall but he's fit and can offer something to the team. Minamino has a decent game against Palace and scores the opener, has not seen a minute since. Every team is tired, get them on late in games, fresh not good enough legs is better than great players that are shattered.

    Some of the lads are shattered and you can see it late in games, they'll beat a man and misplace the pass or miss hit the shot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,955 ✭✭✭✭yourdeadwright


    Salah has been so so bad lately
    Not intrestednin contributing if its not to shoot in the box


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,056 ✭✭✭darced


    City firmly in the driving seat now lads, gutted.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,893 ✭✭✭Ottoman_1000


    Its only really coming to light but Liverpool have been poor all season bar the Palace game where everything they touched turned to goal. Luckily this season every team is very inconsistent so they haven't been too badly shown up. Man City look capable of putting together a run now of 9/10 wins on the trot and that will pull them away from the rest which has been mediocre to say the least....

    Exactly, if Trent did better clearing the free kick this would have just been another frustrating draw.

    As bad as our performance was Southampton didn't really attack us, just contained us with good pressing.

    No point whinging about referees, we were absolutely muck.

    Could play to this time tomorrow and we still wouldn’t score.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 17,459 ✭✭✭✭Nalz

    hmmm. care to have a charity bet?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,419 ✭✭✭francie81


    Since when did Hendo become a center half this run of form would remind you of the Liverpool of old and it’s anybody’s title as it stands :rolleyes:

    Grim set of results lately but still in it. They need to come up with something different as it's not working.

    I asked last week partly joking if Klopp would think of going back to the heavy metal style of football we played in 2017 before VVD arrived and he changed it to a more controlling game. Now that VVD is out long term and we cant keep clean sheets we need to outscore everyone. All the same players who played heavy metal football are still there, they all know that system and it delivers goals, lots of them.

    Ball on wing, too many sitting in the box and no midfielders running in. Headwrecking stuff.

    Fermino trying to take on four on his own

    afraid because we are weak back in defence .... have to question Klopp's decision playing our two best CM in defence.... no balance... i'd start the two youngsters in defence and let hendo and fab play in midfield to shield the defence...

    worried now...we getting no luck at all...anti luck it seems.... looks like someone is trying to balance out the league....

    Utd could end our home unbeaten run...Poggers and the boyz will be at diving trials for the olympics against us i said
