Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. And, in fairness, how do you go about preparing a side to face Jonesball?

Yes. Though City didn't skimp - Haaland, de Bruyne, Foden, Alvarez, Laporte, Dias, Walker, Mahrez, Rodri isn't too shabby. The others were the reserve keeper and Rico Lewis.

It's a free hit. Nobody expects us to win. The Scousers will be over their initial drama queen mourning over Klopp leaving. We're a totally different side to this time last year - in a good way. They'll have rolled over Chelsea the week before to get their consolation trophy for the season and it will be billed as Liverpool just having to walk onto the pitch. I like our chances.

They won't have dried out by Saturday. Will still be squelching when they walk.

Christ, it looks totally miserable down in Plymouth. Wouldn't fancy playing 90 let alone 120 minutes there tonight.

I would have a serious chuckle if we put out a youth team for this game. The scousers would go mental at the disrespect.

Computer says no

Go home Merson, you're... No wait, I can't make that joke.

I think that Holgate to Leeds is the best for everyone concerned. Holgate gets game time. We get an expensive loan signing off our books. Leeds get a defender that's going to secure their playoff spot.

To be fair, Semmens is just repeating what he was told (by Jones)

Never mind Broja. I just read we have signed Haaland! (for the women's team)

Don't care what either Ipswich or Leicester do. It's all about Saints and focusing on the next game.

Shite though the second half was it may help us. Teams will look at that and think we're weak against a high press and park the bus less.

What's the betting the ref lets them play another 3 minutes

I don't get why Rothwell not Charles

Another great stop

Jesus. Sort it out Saints Great save

How is that not 2-0

I dream of having the opportunity to do that. Nobody invites me though 😢

Behaving strangely at a party nobody thought he'd been invited to yet drunk enough to believe he belongs there? And behaving creepily enough that the other party goers are thinking of going home early. I rest my case.

In my head that is functionally equivalent concept to Burnley football club.

How can they still be whining about that. It was an insulting offer. We turned them down. Then sold Tella for more than twice that to a side that wasn't taking the piss. Who do they think they are? Liverpool?

Today was like watching current Saints play old Saints. Danny Rohl set Shef Weds up to press and they looked good at the start just as we used to start well without scoring. But like old Saints they petered out and left massive space out wide to exploit. It's fair to say that the system Martin has them playing is far superior than we've seen since Koeman.

Nathan Jones offering his wisdom on Sky. He still sets my teeth on edge.
