Match Day Thread Southampton v Liverpool

Crap by both Van Dijk and Robertson. Slot needs to give them a roasting at half time for this.

 

Yeah stupid tackle to make

 

So confused how sky have a screenshot of dibling being fouled outside the box yet var who supposedly have all the tech available have managed to not see it?

 

This performance is embarrassing

 

To be fair, they are the bottom team and we usually gift points to the bottom teams.

 

Last 4 games against teams promoted via play offs we haven’t won apparently.

 

No game is easy game in the Premier league .We're not our best though.

 

Absolutely indulgent display.

Konate clearly thinks it's beneath him and not arsed.

Honestly every indulgence out of jones.

Nobody chasing back, not taking them seriously.

40 touches to never cross mostly.

They threw one in and aside form that we had a few half chance shots.

Letting them run the length of park is a joke and we've allowed its lots.

Slot better rocket this lot.

Quite a few big egos

but Southampton are a joke. No offside trap but we absolutely refuse to play the ball. The way they play is indeed suicidal

 

Just get Diaz on for Nunez, he’s getting hells abuse from the crowd and looks like it’s taken it’s toll cos he can’t even make a simple pass

 

Well that was ****. Should have been coasting this after being 1-0 up. Awful goal to give away and why, imo, win this game or not, we will still be challenged for the title by City and Arsenal. We’ve played like this a few times this season, how the **** we are top by 5 points, I have no idea but I’ll take it

 

We’re having all this possession but nobody is moving between the 2 lines of the Southampton defence, come forward for a pass to then commit a defender , they are just all stood by the defenders waiting for a ball to be crossed in

 

So lallana should have been off - no var check.

var confirms Robertson foot is on the line which isn’t the rule, it’s where the foul is. Dibling goes into the back of Robbo’s leg so has no impact on where the foot is?

 

Where’s Libby
Told ya

 

Usual problem against the lower teams, complacency. We have as usual just thought all we had to do was turn up, cruise, and win easily. I think Salah has had a quiet game so far.

Saints are packing the box when we attack so even if a player gets past his man outside the box for a shooting chance there are a lot of bodies in the way.

I am not drinking toady as I have a bad headache so that may also have an effect on the result

 

have a drink then you selfish ****

 

Apparently in the first 8 league games we didn’t concede a goal in the first half, now we have conceded in the first half of the next 4 including today.

 

I think once the ref gives it, he VAR needs to have definitive evidence that it is 100% outside the box, which I don't think you can get from the camera angles.

 

Plus he's been done by coote as the var so he will never overturn anything this season.

Oliver is a marked man on var

 

I think itd be a bit harsh to call that a red. It's a clear yellow.

 

The only other thing of note is dibling has no shin pads on so from a player welfare issue i don't get that
