Salah very marginally offside but why can't Vestergaard win anything in the air? Just now he missed another header and Mane almost scored...
We might be able to pack our box against Brighton and hang on, but it's a different matter against Liverpool. Have to come out and play.
I'll take that, we were always guaranteed to concede at least one and level at ht suits me. Big effort required now though.
Hope there is some oxygen in the dressing room. Lads worked very hard that half. Excellent shape and we have done very well, at the same time as breaking early and getting bodies forward. Well done Saints.
We were attacking well early, certainly. We didn't take a shot for the last 20+ minutes of the half, though, nor did we have much by way of the ball. Liverpool's damned dangerous if they can get you on your heels.
Sky just said VAR confirmed next season the offside wouldn’t have been ruled out as we had chances to clear it. FFS it gets worse.
Good half thought they got on top last ten minutes as we were not getting out of our half, need to put our foot on the ball more in the middle or play down the channels.
I think we have surprised Liverpool by our closing down and the way we have thrown numbers forward when we are on the ball. Liverpool are so, so good at keeping the ball alive, and peppering the six yard box with crosses and players running in. Difficult to defend against, although Bednarek did seem to miss the ball for the goal. Just want to add what a great diagonal run by Hojbjerg for our goal and good cross from Bertie to find him.
