Match Day Thread Southampton v Liverpool SAT 19th Nov. 3:00 pm

That replay is crazy. Nobody else anywhere near Austin. Definitely feels like a game for Long.

 

Højbjerg has been very solid this half.

 

A solid half. Liverpool favourites to win but there are chances on the break - if we can actually break with more than Austin.

 

0-0 at half time. Next 20 minutes crucial!

 

Boufal showing some nice skills, but not enough in support or defense. The midfield needs to be jiggered. Maybe Davis off for Clasie?

 

We're defending pretty well but our best chance was probably Cedric's shot from 25-30 yards. Austin is so isolated he must be feeling lonely. If the pattern of the game stays the same it's probably worth getting Long on to run at them when we break.

 

Wow they've just shown highlights from around the grounds, and the most stoniest of walls of a penalty not given for Bournemouth. Incredible decision

 

Apparently we had no shots on target first half. I must have dreamt Cedric's shot then.

 

Saw that. Incredible indeed.

 

As it stands, it looks like holding on to 0:0, unless we add some more attacking intent.

 

I think Roger East is in the PL ref relegation zone.

 

I think he sliced that wide.

 

Cedric's shot that went wide..?

 

Right, thought it was saved.

 

See above.

 

Unless we get some more possession and more of attacking threat, I think Liverpool will score. VVD doing a fantastic job as usual, but hard to defend the entire game against that Liverpool attack.

 

Clatts missed a stonewall shirt-pull by Virgil there..

 

Definitely pulled his shirt, but how does that make you throw yourself to the floor..?

 

Yeah, definite foul. Outside the box, though.

 

Missed that. Was it a good tackle by Fonte or did he get away with one?
