Match Day Thread Southampton v Liverpool - Sun 24th 1400

Don't forget they'll have Carragher ****ing himself off on the commentary, I expect.

 

Having just seen a corner flag at SMS being blown so hard it was leaning at 45 degrees, it would be somewhat ironic if we choose today to play the ball in the air.
Still the wind might keep some of our passes on line instead of too far ahead, too far behind or short.

 

Sat in the chapel watching Liverpool warm up. I forgot how much of a unit VVD is

 

Still can't work out any logic in that team selection. Bizarre.

 

Absolutely baffling line up

 

He's a monster, isn't he?

 

Tom that’s far too sensible. Just wondering, if most of us are confused, irritated or plain fed up with this constant ‘let’s try this option’ stuff, what are the players on the pitch thinking??

 

Didn't realise he was that big! Oh well TP will smash him

 

Same old, same old.

 

Pleased Paul is getting a start as although I'm not as convinced as others that he can be out saviour he deserves a proper chance at least. Hopefully he can get his first goal for us.

I'm less pleased that it's instead of Archer rather than alongside. I'm convinced there's big potential for a partnership there.

 

A big target man with a speedy partner who can run on to his knockdowns? Pffft so 2005 mate. You'll never win possession stats playing like that.

 

TP and Archer could be our modern day Kerry Dixon and David Speedie.

 

Watching on my firestick today, which is normally slower than watching on my iPad, so those of you ahead of me will feel the pain/joy before me.

 

Downes in a back 3 then with Fraser LWB

 

Downes CB?

 

If that's true (I'm not watching) I'm even more confused at our CB signings in the summer

 

Their speed on the counter is scary

 

Fernandez has a shot from distance. Sub him immediately. Heracy

 

"Brave"

 

Who that big lump at the top, seems to have good feet so far
