    That is the problem for any club tempted to buy him.
    If they can't get him to play at a high standard, in every game, will they give him as much first team football as he had here, during the barren spell?
    And will their fans be as patient as most of us have been?
    Hopefully we can keep him.

    I think the major problem, for him and the team, Sunday, was him playing on the right.
    Before the incident, when he lost the ball immediately preceding their second goal, he had already had opportunities to hit right footed crosses, behind the Liverpool back line, but each time he opted to switch the ball on to his left foot, which meant turning away from the Liverpool goal and being crowded out.
    On the one occasion (I can recall), when he found himself on the left wing, he jinked passed the full back and forced a corner.
    Probably the only decent thing he did in 45 minutes.

    We took the free kick about seven centimetres from where the offence occurred. :emoticon-0121-angry

    It's funny. I thought JWP's passing was horrible when he came on, the pass to Pelle aside. His battling was excellent. If he can them both right, then hallelujah

    When Fran gets one together it will be soon enough. It's still her turn.

    May do it a few days early,,,,because everything that people want to say may be said if left to Wednesday before the match, but too early yet.

    I know. No doubt she'll do one before then.

    What I basically meant was - it's waaaaay too early.

    During my little run of clean sheets, the first goal conceded when I did the match thread on time (Tuesday/Wednesday)... all the others were late I believe due to commitments. Not that I'm superstitious or anything.

    Use the Premier League thread until the Official one is posted, it's a bit too soon IMO.

    I suspect next season will be his coming of age as a player. Can't wait.

    Even though the second half was memorable we were still largely unable to make simple 10 yard passes. Even Mane's first goal; the pass was actually underhit causing Mane to pause his run. Of course, it was that which enabled him to throw off his marker but really it needed an extra yard of pace on the pass.

    The great thing is that history will remember the result with nothing about quality of our play. It will be remembered simply as Saints scored 3 goals to overcome a 2-0 deficit, so Liverpool were crap and we were wonderful. :)

    Def need less time catching those little balls, and more time passing a football. First half Romeu tried to pass the ball, hit claise on the back ho was 5 yards away and they almost scored because our midfield was bypassed by our own sloppy play

    Met a friend today who told me that he left the Sunderland match early and missed the equaliser, so made damn sure he stayed till the end of the Liverpool game. Lesson learned. :)
