Match Day Thread Liverpool v Southampton Sunday 25th October 2015 KO 4:15pm

My back is bad today, so I can't be in goal on Sunday either. Caught it off a chap at the gym...I said I hadn't had a bad back for years, so of course..............

It is crap journalism like this that convinces me that there are some out there deliberately trying to rock our boat.

It's like a baton that everyone just picks up and passes. This is all based on a throwaway comment at our recent forum

 

It isn't so much what is said, it is the timing that gets my goat.

 

It's not just us though....Ranieri has been fielding questions about Vardy being sold in January. No team sells important players in January unless facing administration.

Liverpool fan's blog about match. Is concerned about this game which gives me a warm fuzzy feeling...he thinks Lawrenson's comments are wildly optimistic giving our scoring record v Liverpool's. Doesn't rate Lallana....Adam, Adam, Adam, you should never have left....though as Les Reed says those that leave sink into oblivion on very good money. He's concerned about Klopp....already! I expect Klopp to turn things round a bit, but even if he is no better than Rodgers, at least he gives a better interview.

Pelle thanks Koeman for praising him but says he will continue to try and improve and he thinks the match at Anfield will be a beautiful, beautiful game. Ugly 1-0 will do for me, Graziano, but I appreciate the sentiment. I think Pelle is a good striker and does a great job for us, but I also think we may just suit him (as many players that have left us have discovered)...how would he do for other EPL clubs? I think that he is not quite good enough for the top clubs and would struggle at the poorer clubs...would spend a lot of time on the ground, pounding the grass in frustration.

 

The article says 16 league goals last season. Wasn't it 12?

Nice to read he sounds focused on working On his game. I missed Leicester game, but the two before that he was very good and first half of united game too. Looks like he is working on those improvements. Good lad. Long may that continue (for Pelle, not Shane...)

 

Some goals are so good, they count them twice.

 

Nah, they're not deliberately trying to rock the boat, they're just looking for content, and something akin to the fans forum gives them a cheap and lazy way of creating stories.

 

And Halley's comet just passed through our part of the solar system. But it doesn't presage the end of the earth.

Bleacherreport explaining why Liverpool should sign Wanyama #yawn. Why this obsession with January signings.....if we wouldn't sell him in the summer, why, why would we sell him half way through the season Love the comment that Rodgers bought 4 Southampton players, yet only bought the right one once. I suspect that Klopp will have his eye on players he has worked with before....usual with new managers.

 

A nice early goal for us on Sunday is what we need. If they score first I fear the worst. Liverpool have not been great but confidence can breed quickly.

 

.Duplicated ignor.

 

Maybe they added 1/2 for each time he hit the post?

 

I'd say it is more a case of Stek and Forster both being giants rather than Kelvin being short. He is still over 6ft, its just the other two are huge!

 

Should be a good game on Sunday, hoping for another clean sheet as a priority for me, unlikely if skrtel plays

I'll go for 2-1 to us.

 

Nope 16.
12 Prem
1 FA Cup
3 League Cup

 

12 league goals, 16 overall.....everyone is correct...move along

 

No Shane or Jrod leaves us a bit light up front from the bench.
