Liverpool vs Saints - Match Thread

Oddly quiet at Anfield. I can hear the away fans singing OWTS.

Have we even had a shot on goal?

Another classic Cedric cross. He should be kicking conversions.

You can hear individual voices in crowd. I just heard someone say ‘calm down’

It's a mark of the gulf in class between the sides that I think their back line is quicker than our front line.

We seem to be outnumbered all over the pitch..

This league is really dull.

Lemina has been stealing a living from SFC since the day he arrived.

nonsense as usual

The tourist division.

Sleepy game. They will probably still end up winning 5 or 6 nil.

Thought we were better going forward first half. We’ve had more possession this half but it’s all been sideways. Liverpool happy to let us play.

Our fans booing VvD while we're 3 down is just painfully bitter from their POV.

Here's bitter for you, I hope the **** has a career ending injury, his wife ****s off with old klippity and he ends up homeless in his spiritual home smoking spice and sucking off scousers for penny a time

Playing Long is as good as not playing a striker at all

Luxury for bin dippers

Saints happy to protect a 3-0 defeat.

But apparently defenders hate playing against the striker who never scores goals.

Long: Constant thorn in defenders sides. Stupid comment.

Every goal might count in May. Ings is the only PL quality outfield player we have so no point going gung ho. Just get away with the 3-0 if possible.

Would Austin make a difference then as we have no one else available

Where's Gallagher?

Losing 3 v 0 to the league winners, not bad.

He’s not about scoring goals, he’s about defending from the front. Without Long it would have been all over after 20 minutes.

Austin about to come on, say the commentators.

Where's Gallagher?

No idea

Gotta feel sorry for the team. We are second best in all departments. Not a single player in our team you could genuinely cite as high quality. I suppose the upside is that there is no danger of Liverpool poaching any of our current crop.

Journeymen and doubtful prospects. It’s like watching WBA last season

Oh look, that tit Corbyn is in the stands.

He’s not about scoring goals, he’s about defending from the front. Without Long it would have been all over after 20 minutes.

Different to being all over by 21 minutes.

At least we will have a pacy attacker now

people who like Long, like Hoedt. Utter mess.

Austin on for Long.

Gazzaniga starts for Spurs this evening. True story.

Won`t get up the pitch at all now

Remember when we used to beat Liverpool?

You cannot compare those two. People who blame Long are the clueless d1ckheads. He ain’t the answer but ain’t the problem

Got the feel of a training match now

Saints happy to protect a 3-0 defeat.

Makes sense, no point completely ruining our goal difference.

Hughes seems happy with 3-0. Why isn't Lemina off? He sounds shocking. He should have been off instead of Romeu. How crap do Hoedt and Vestergaard have to be for Yoshi to get a game? Didn't Hughes watch the World Cup? So frustrating.

Remember when we used to beat Liverpool?

Remember when we at least tried to play against them rather than setting up from minute one to keep the goal difference down.

Liverpool strolling and won’t need a shower.

How long would we have to keep playing before we scored a goal.Discuss.

You cannot compare those two. People who blame Long are the clueless d1ckheads. He ain’t the answer but ain’t the problem

He is the problem, sell him and purchase a striker who can at least get a one on one on target, not fall over and not just put a cb under pressure.

All these mediocre players are the problem, like him, Hoedt.

Saints happy to protect a 3-0 defeat.

Well, in the circumstances I would take that!

You cannot compare those two. People who blame Long are the clueless d1ckheads. He ain’t the answer but ain’t the problem

You can only say that because he’s not a defender, both of them are the problem. Irrespective of how hard he tries.

Think that was back when we had good players, Liverpool have them all now.

Yep but we had a far better team, if we had done that here today it would have been 6 at half time

This second half so far reminds me of the Pellegrino Saints, a decent amount of possession in the middle third of the pitch, but absolutely no penetration.
