We are very very fortunate to be in the lead at HT. ffs though, get Lallana off and bring Sturridge on. Lallana does nothing every game and Sterling will actually be able to get on the ball if hes there instead.
No money for transfers for you lot In the summer Its all In Kevin Friends pocket Migs should be off and they had at least 2 stone wall pens...
We need to calm down and concentrate on being in the right positions other than winning every ball. Markovic needs to be replaced with Moreno as Clyne is giving him a lot of problems. Studge on for Lallana would also improve us.
Or not to cheat them out of it? If you are saying the ref shouldn't be giving blatant penalties, then can we also make chest high two footed challenges? You are delusional.
One penalty for them, maybe one for us. Lack of a yellow card for their blatent dive in the first appeal. No chance a handball at the end. They can cry all they like. We're playing ****e. Can't keep hold of the ball, no composure, no leaders. Our defense is clearly lacking Sakho in there. Midfield looks atrocious without Lucas and our attack is dreadful. Toure for Lovren at half time. Sturridge for Lallana - albeit I don't see Rodgers doing that to 'protect' him from the abuse he'd get for being subbed off.
We are riding our luck to be fair. We could easily conceded 2 pens and GK sent off. The ball was clearly outside the box when it made contact with his hand
Should be off for saving it with his chest before it rebounds onto his arm Allen should be off. Markovic has been poor, nothing going forward and poor defensively. I'd get Moreno on for him. Ibe has been poor defensively, surprised saints and previous teams haven't attacked him more given he's a forward. Sterling isn't in the game. Made a couple of runs but not been picked out. Mig has been very good so far. Lovren will ill get sent off if he isn't subbed. Guy is so rash in the challenge and slow when it comes to tackling...
We've gotten away with it a bit this half, but then again so did they once or twice. Friend's definitely been calling in our favour which is odd given that he's usually a massive **** towards us. Southampton fans are absolutely spoiled though. They'd boo a player that passed through Southampton on holiday. Players leave, get over it. I don't even think we gave that much of a **** about Torres, let alone Lallana and a defender that played for a single season. I like them, but they've got to understand the nature of football and show a bit of grace. They're a big team now but unless you're Madrid, Barca, or Bayern, you're going to have to deal with players leaving for greener pastures. Not saying that you have to like them for leaving, boo them all you want, but they seem to have pure hatred for the players that left. Back to the game on hand, We're not holding possession. Allen's had a few tidy moments in defense but at the end of the day that's not his role and it's his lack of creativity/courage to hold on to the ball that leads us to having a weak midfield. Henderson can't do it on his own.
It hit his chest before rebounding onto his arm. That's not deliberate unless he has awesome chest passing skills and can accurately pass the ball from chest to hand like thst
I knew we needed an actual striker upfront. We need someone to hold the ball, we're just knocking it over and hoping to run on but with the rain and how deep the back four is that isn't gonna happen.
#bbcsalford ask whether Mignolet handballed then refuse to look at the replays that prove without doubt he didn't so they can continue banging on about it for 15 minutes
