When, oh when, oh when are the management of this club going to address the problem of our abysmal crossing ability? It has been like this for years now. Wow - what a save from Forster there!

We're looking the much better side at the moment. delivery into the box is getting better. Is Austin on the bench? If so I would get him on for Pelle for the last half an hour.

Phew. That was a let off. Great save though.

No. It was completely unintentional and would have hit his ribs if his arm wasn't where it was. What do you expect him to do? Cut off his arm in a split second so it doesn't hit the ball?

That was all down to Clasie being too small and lightweight to be trying to defend a header in that situation. Shame because we were looking really good in the run-up to that incident.

There has to be a deliberate movement of the arm towards the ball, or if the ball hits the arm when it is an un-natural position (or something like that). We're much better now. What a shot from Fonte!

We've been the better team for the last 5-10 minutes. A goal to show for it would be nice.

Best chance of the game so far. Accidental handball but never a penalty.

Decent move and not a bad effort from Pelle.

F*ck me, some of you lot are just unbelievable. Just to remind everyone - we are away at the team that is 4 points clear at the top of the league FFS. They are where they are on merit, and they are going to have possession and trouble our defence. They are going to press us and force errors because that's how they have been playing all season. A little reality check is needed for one or two posters I think.

I think we are sitting too deep and showing them too much respect at the moment. They have had most of the possession but so far they haven't seriously tested our defence.

Exactly. Its clearly just drivel. And regarding Tadic, I think Ron does treat him fairly in the sense that he is not good enough to be starting every game for a PL club chasing a potential Champions League place. He occasionally shows quality but tends to go missing for huge chunks of games and doesn't contribute enough defensively.

Cracking game at Anfield. I know I'm in a small minority here but I really don't care if Spurs win the title. I don't particularly like them but I certainly don't have the bitterness towards them that many SW members do. I would like to see them win this game if it helps us to finish above Liverpool.

You are quite wrong... http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2016/03/13/the-conservatives-have-been-the-biggest-borrowers-over-the-last-70-years/ Not only have the Tories borrowed more per year in office over the last 70 years, they have repaid less as well.

Our poor run earlier in the season was overwhelmingly down to our strikers not doing the business (6 goals in 10 games with one of them an OG and two coming from a CDM) Now that Pelle and Mane have re-discovered their scoring touch, there's every reason to believe we can finish the season in good form, as long as our defence holds up as well as it has so far.

Yeah that always seems to be the way. And considering our first game back from the break is away at the league leaders, it doesn't bode well. We'll have to be at the very top of our game to get something from that, given the way they have been playing lately.

4 mins of squeaky bum time!

Well I never. If someone had told me on 30 minutes we would go on to take the lead, I would have told them to get their head seen to. He's useless that Mane ;-)

Wowzer! I was just wondering when was the last time we scored from outside the box as well. Outstanding goal from Pelle.

It was a good finish. Pleased for him. Doesn't take away the fact that he has been useless for the last 4 months though.

See? ;-)

He has reverted to the player he was when he first arrived. Useless.

Good decision from the ref. Crap penalty from Mane. Had no confidence he was going to score when I saw him stepping up to take it, given his dreadful recent form. Oh well. As you were.

Apart from the one that Lovren got booked for you mean?

Liverpool have presented us with plenty of decent set piece opportunities so far. But, annoyingly, our execution of them has been abysmal.
