I don't want to be one 

This will be a test for Brendans tactical nous, up against a recovering Saints side. Think they have a couple of 1st choice players returning following injury. This is a massive game for us to make inroads into their lead over us.
 We beat them earlier, when they were at full strength, and we had players missing, but gonna be a tough one as they will be full of confidence with players returning.
 I'll go for a slim, hard fought 2 -1 win to us.
 Just hope the shenanigans of Thursday night, doesn't effect our team spirit. I see Sturridge as being desperate to score, and will pass up opportunities to feed others in, and go for the more difficult option himself. Saw a couple if incidents on Thursday, so hope BR gets that sorted.

I won't be able to create the Live thread

Of course you can, make one now and have one of the admins lock it until we kick off

No, I won't take that route. If I succeed in doing it, great if not :/

It's going to be a dark day on this forum haha

I will try to do it

Biggest game of the season and a real test. 3 points and we will make top 4 a draw is not the end if the world

I think we have to get 3 points out of this one with the way the other results went today. I don't even think a draw works for us, have to make up ground on Arsenal not to mention Soton.

Even bigger game now. Win this one and it's 3 points from 3rd spot.

Hope the boys bring their best.

Even more important game now. If we win it, and i think we will from a Balo strike, we'll get 3rd easily.

It's only February, we'll get nothing 'easily' based on the next game alone. We have City the game after, we need to not lose that.

The lads will be full of confidence and we will get only better if we win at Saints, you'll see.

Even bigger game now after Man Utd's loss. We need to capitalize. Southampton are there to be beaten; they're well organized and well drilled but aren't as good as Spurs so I think we'll win it.

Sturridge, Sterling, Balotelli on the field together will open them up.

Anything less than 3 points will be a disaster, this is a big opportunity for the REDS, don't let us down.

Yup, let's hope so Billy lad.

Hope we can buck the usual trend of the 'bigger' teams losing or drawing en masse over the same weekend.

Toure back at the right of defence and Can in midfield?

Thoughts?

Sounds good to me. Toure should be sharp after being at the AFCON.

Very, difficult game following Thursday night's Europa league game. Obviously a win needed to make ground on a top 4 position.

I'd eat gone-off pilchards off Joe Allens manky toes for a scrappy 0-1 win on Sunday

Massive game!!!

I'd go for that.

This is not going to be easy. It's just as big of a game for Southampton as it is for us. With United dropping points and Arsenal winning, they'll want to climb the table as well. Tough ground to go to as well, but hopefully we've built up some confidence with our recent upturn in form. A win in here would be massive, but I'm thinking this will be a draw though, 1-1.
