Really should be beating this lot, their squad looks weak and they've got an idiot in charge. I'd love another clean sheet from a solid performance, and it's about time we started converting some chances. 2-0 Osvaldo brace

Was mainly Robbie Fowler talking about us, mainly filling time with drivel. Said there were no real standout performances but we were solid and workmanlike, pressed from the front, went with a gameplan and stuck to it. They all agreed that we were well worth the 3 points and deserved to win. If Lovren, Boruc, Clyne and Lallana's performances didn't stand out, then he probably didn't see anything other than the brief highlights they showed on us MOTD.

Bet he's got more interesting conversation than some melt trying to wind up plastic Mancs in regards to Southampton's league position.

May have been different if we were chasing the game. Ramirez isn't someone you bring on if you need to press, track back, be solid and careful in possession.

Why would we gloat? That's so small time. They'll finish well above us and we're pretty insignificant to them.

Might be a good time to play united away next month - straight after a round of internationals and they haven't found their feet under Moyes. We put in a good performance there last season, nothing to fear this time round.

We're playing a bit less expansively than we're used to, but we are creating chances. Surely the goals will come. Not getting carried away or complacent but a 'gimme' cup game and Palace at home should be decent games to have coming up next.

Liverpool fans in living in the past shocker.

Double post FFS.

Best signing since Lambert, by a distance. Hoping he has a long career here, and he's bringing the best out of Fonte. I can't remember ever feeling this confident when we're defending after years of panicking every time the ball got into our final third.

Lovren MOTM by a mile. Hasn't had a bad game all season and won it for us today. Rock solid and brilliant header. I was wrong on today, thought we'd get beaten but we stepped up, as well as Liverpool being poor. Only negatives for me were Wanyama continuing to be far too slow at shifting the ball, and Lambo didn't really get in the game but still pulled their defense all over the place. Great and well deserved result.

If we give the ball away when we're out of defensive shape, like we did loads of times against Norwich and West Ham, we'll find it tough. Teams like Liverpool punish mistakes. Luckily for us, West Ham are ******* ****e going forward.

Can't understand why there are that many Liverpool fans concerned by us. If we're as sloppy as we have been in the last 2, and why would we not be, I can't see us having much joy there.

Welcome to the board. I just thought if take this opportunity to point out that you haven't got enough defenders in your lineup, and you've got too many midfielders. Regards. Jack.

Just because people don't comment much on here don't think it's not appreciated. I always look forward to your blog. Keep up the good work!

Looks a good player. Was my MOTM vs Norwich and looked solid again yesterday. Hasn't really put a foot wrong. 8/10

Good against WBA and Sunderland, absolutely shocking against Norwich, very average yesterday. Slows the ball down too much and often loses possession with heavy touches when dribbling. 5/10.

Won't happen, but I'd like to see: ------------Boruc Clyne--Fonte--Lovren--Shaw --Schneiderlin---Cork Osvaldo-----JWP-----Lallana ----------Lambert Davis, Chambers, Hooiveld, Wanyama, Davis, Ramirez, Rodriguez. We need to work hard in midfield, and keep the ball well. Cork and JWP do this well. Wanyama has been so sloppy the last 2, and we can't afford passengers.

Funny how quickly people forget. Don't you remember the second half of last season when he was tearing it up and everyone was backing him to be a future England star? He's in poor form, but is relatively inexperienced at this level and he's a talented player with potential.

Tell me you're taking the p*ss? We lost, how is it not a bad result? If we'd played anything like we know we can, we'd have beaten them. They're not a great side at all, we made it easy for them today

Positives: Lovren. Solid at the back, only player who looked like he gave a f*ck. Alcohol - night ahead in Norwich to get over it. Staying with a Norwich fan though - not so good.

Absolutely f*cking sh*t. Pass completion must have been about 60%. Woeful. My gripes: Wanyama - clumsy today and wasted possession, slows play down. Fox - just sh*t. Can't defend, just backs off until they're in our box. When attacking, all he can do is receive the ball, turn back towards goal and pass back inside to Lovren. Osvaldo - offered little Morgan - not his usual self Chambers - shown up today Lambert - not really his fault, but was dropping too deep/wide to try to get involved due to no service. Gaston - 1/10 today. Useless. JWP - poor delivery today. Poch - weird decisions. Cork should've been on for Wanyama, gets us moving properly. Lallana subbed when our most dangerous player. Fox played while Clyne & Shaw benched. Obviously didn't bollock them about out lack of tempo. Fans - mostly silent. Really poor atmosphere, no noise or banter from us today.

Absolutely f*cking woeful. Weak, no interest, no bottle, lightweight, tries the miracle ball every time. Not good enough.

Sorry for clogging up the forum - in Norwich and 1 ticket short. Email me on jharris9587@gmail.com if there's one going spare.

If it's pubs/bars you're after, the 'Golden Triange' is good. Plenty of nice pubs and unlikely to see any aggro round there. We'll probably drink there then go to Karma later on which is more of a bar/club, music is good there. There's a Revolution but I can't remember exactly where, Waterfront is decent too. Loads of options.
