Match Day Thread Southampton v Liverpool

my matchday thread says 4 pm so that is when we are kicking off but **** knows what the rest of them are doing .

 

Well since the game is on at 11am over here, I will have to be quiet and not spoil the ending for the rest of you.

#theyalldieintheend

 

Definitely 4pm.

3pm will be the start of Sky Sports coverage

 

you don't say

 

Well thanks for clearing that up.

Sky is clearly fake news.

 

We had a proper make shift team out, can’t criticise them for dropping back. Saints had nothing to lose in last 10 minutes. Team did well restricting them to nothing

 

Waiting for Dribs to confirm...

 

It doesn't matter what team we play we seem to do the same thing and invite the pressure. It's a consistent theme with the dicking back and forth never attacking and then ending up wondering why the cbs are in our pen area having to play to alisson to hoof it and see the pressure build.

 

"Some mentality, Takumi Minamino: top Liverpool scorer in Carabao Cup, doesn’t play in final. Top scorer in FA Cup, doesn’t make the bench. Swallows his disappointment and pops up with a goal and night’s work like this."

Dominic King of the Daily Fail on Twitter, makes a good point though.

 

He does hold onto ball at times but at least he’s looking to be positive when he does that. Hendo today just stood on the ball for about 10 seconds a number of times.

I like Jones is always looking to do something with it. When he holds onto the ball he at least drags players to him. Yes he needs to sometimes move it on quicker but hasn’t played much so can be happy with the performance.

Generwlly why he’s better against better teams where he doesn’t have that much time a she’s forced to move it on quicker. Against teams that sit back he has time on the ball and generwlly that’s why he holds onto it a bit more

 

Don’t see it. Given we have second best defence in prem can’t really be a huge issue

 

Bobby was good tonight and Elliott was neat and tidy and though he faded thought Minamino shows why he was a good buy as considering he is now our 6th or 7th attacking option he is still a reasonable threat .

 

Definition of a perfect squad player. If he's happy with his role he could be a real cult hero.

 

As I said earlier, think he's our fourth top scorer this season behind Salah, Jota and Mane

 

you are right in every sense .

 

10 goals from 24 games this season in all comps. 9 starts.

For essentially a 7th choice striker show me a better return anywhere in the world.

 

Like I said the other day, unexpected players with the unexpected goals. Great isn't it.

 

5th actually. Bobby has 11

 

Salah 30 from 49
Mane 22 from 49
Jota 21 from 53
Bobby 11 from 33
Mini 10 from 24
Fab 8 from 47
Diaz 6 from 24 (needs to up those numbers next year for all his good work and excitement)
Origi 6 from 18
Keita 4 from 28
Hendo 3 from 55
Ox 3 from 29
Matip 3 from 41
Konate 3 from 27
vvd 3 from 50
TAA 2 from 45
robno 2 from 45
Thiago 2 from 37
Jones 1 from 27
Gordon 1 from 4
elliot 1 from 4

Spread the goals around a lot. Used to be that none of our midfielders would ever score. Nice to see them chip in with a few as well as the defenders

 

Big D's role is up for grabs next season.
