Doctoroncall Posted 9 February, 2018 Share Posted 9 February, 2018 From klipperty Klopp: “I don’t think anyone at Southampton will say we’ve stolen him,” he said. “It was a very public deal and the numbers, even if they are not 100%, are OK so maybe they are really happy and they say: ‘Thank you for all the money we have now.’ Or it could be the other way around. It’s not only the players we have. Since I’m here if you ask half the Premier League: ‘Where is he from?’ they say: ‘Southampton.’ Ox [Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain] is from there, although he took a different way, Theo Walcott. There are good players from this area. Maybe we should have a scouting department directly in Southampton?” What a ignorant twät.

Agree - Long's best use these days is as a sub around the hour mark when we need fresh legs to unsettle defenders and offer some speed. If he starts alone up front it will be a picnic for the ex-Saints defender(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 10 February, 2018 Share Posted 10 February, 2018 Really? The team chosen to play Brighton was almost universally condemned here, and the team for WBA was almost universally agreed upon. almost... Some players are nailed on (Bertrand, Cedric and McCarthy) but the after that the formation, playing positions and players are easily up for debate. Do you go for a solid hard to break down midfield of Romeu, Lemina and Hoj or if so who gets dropped Tadic, Boufal or JWP? Does Stephens and Hodet carry on despite the defensive rickets or do you bring Yoshida back in for one of them (or go three at that back to try cut out the goals being conceded). If the best team was 100% nailed on we'd hardly have anything left to debate apart from Les Reed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't competing in the top 4 and CL because of players they've signed from us though. Clyne - Has been ok if but unspectacular for them, also injured a lot. Lallana - Always injured.

VectisSaint Posted 10 February, 2018 Share Posted 10 February, 2018 Mane is world class, and certainly not inconsistent. Let's hope he and Salah have "inconsistent" performances Sunday. He is the epitome of inconsistency, especially this season. His goals have dried up and he is being completely overshadowed by Mo Salah. He is still world class amd I would have him back in a flash, but to consider him as "not inconsistent" is laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 10 February, 2018 Share Posted 10 February, 2018 I think everyone expected Mane to be the main man at Liverpool but injuries, ACON and Salah have made his time there very stop start still a good player but Salah is very much the main man right now.

For example against WBA I would've had PEH in ahead of Romeu, but overall I (like most of us) was happy with the line up. Let's hope MP The Lesser is now capable of the doing the same thing from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wessex saint Posted 11 February, 2018 Share Posted 11 February, 2018 Guessing that we will make a decent fist of it today but ultimately end up losing. Really hope we give it a go rather than play the normal damage limitation tactics. I would go with this for a starting XI McCarthy Cedric hoedt yoshi Bertie Romeu Tadic lemina gabbi boufal Carrillo 4 1 4 1 Never gonna happen I know but I reckon it would be damn exciting to watch!

Saint_Tony Posted 11 February, 2018 Share Posted 11 February, 2018 our recent record against them is not that bad. Apart from the last game we've only taken a beating ay the hands of Suarez and Coutinho. I think on this occasion we need to sit back for a bit and contain them. If we can stay level at half time then we can win it. Difficult call but I'm gonna go for a 1-1 draw. We need to ignore how much we hate Liverpool and look ay this as an important game where we really need to pick up at least a point.

This is almost a freebie.....our survival is not reliant on winning today, although that obviously helps but the next 5 are the ones that really matter. With 4 of them Away I would think 10 points would be a very useful return, placing us on 36 (or more depending on today!), which would suggest a minimum of 4 points to reach the magical 40 from the remaining other 6.

Minimum a draw, win is needed though. Defeat disasterous. The thing is they did it by putting everyone behind the ball and not giving pool any space to work in but people on here want us to attack them (no doubt pushing our full backs up nice and high), much as I'm no fan of negative football, in this case I can't see anything but a spanking if we try to play like that.
