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

Studge, Firmino and Benteke are all back in training it depends on their fitness but they should all be available.
Under Rodgers you'd have turned us over no doubt, the rot had set in.
I agree about weathering the storm it is certainly what teams will have to do as the players get used to Klopps system but that in itself is a great thing as without Klopp you'd be coming to compete other than weather any storm.

 

We're going to be in for the best first 45 minutes of football ever seen at Anfield with Saints scoring 2 and Liverpool missing 5. They'll all be so knackered at half time we'll see the worst ever second 45 minutes without a shot at goal. JRod and Clasie will come on at half time for a bit of easy training. Klopp will resign saying he just doesn't get English football.

 

Hello and welcome, us confident? Not really, our lot had problems keeping awake against Leicester City, complained they were tired after all of their globetrotting! Good luck tonight, pity it wasn't an away game!

 

I want a win tonight it's an important game but with you lot on the weekend we have to rotate and rest some players. Nothing to moan about though that's what a squad is for and managers get on my tits going on about it.
2 home wins on the trot would be nice.

 

If Pool had a fully fit and in form team then I would go 60%-40% for them, however they don't so 3-1 to us. was surprised by the stat that they have the most clean sheets (14) this year

 

They have, imo, one of the best keepers in Europe. That might go some way to explaining the clean sheet stat.

 

So much for rotation then. That's a hell of a strong side you've put out tonight.

 

on his day he is good, though I always felt their defence was a mess when watching motd. or that might have only been when Lovren was playing

 

I don't mind if they win or not tonight, I just hope it's an utterly exhausting, physical game.

 

Merson says Liverpool will win 2-1. So it looks like we're going to win then

 

Oh dear, Devic Rubin it in!

 

Sky say:
The latest is Daniel Sturridge should be back for Sunday's match against Southampton, but he's in the stands this evening.

 

Yeah we should have enough to beat them without that team but not to be, should be doing better.

 

No way Lallana will last against us. I give him 45 mins

 

Please play as as that on Sunday.........

 

Reporter: So Jurgen, a disappointing result tonight against a team 12th in the Russian League and you have Southampton next - how do you feel going into that game?
Jurgen: Southampton are a great team, they have great players and a great system. It won't be easy. I was determined to try the Premiership this year and the only offer I had was at Liverpool so I had to take it. I was hoping Koeman would take the Holland job but he's a very intelligent man. Maybe if he doesn't renew his contract I can move up a level and manage Southampton but that's not likely to happen is it?

 

-------------Pelle-------------
-------------Mane------------
Tadic--------------------- Davis
-------Wanyama-JWP------
Bertrand-VVD-Fonte-Cedric
----------Stekelenburg-------

My team, but I expect Koeman to play Romeu over JWP.

 

And Tadic has just showed against Chelsea how he can be really dangerous on the counter attack against a good side away from home. Tadic should be a nailed on starter.
