Pre Match : Liverpool v Southampton, Oct 25, 4:15pm

The games are coming thick and fast which is just as well to put right the disappointment of not putting Rubin away last night.

Plenty of positives to take from the match, just need to make sure our decision making is correct in the final third. We really need to start picking up some 3 pointers and have a feeling this is the game

Looks like Sturridge won't be fit, will Coutinho be benched to sort his head out?

From the available players I would go with ;


                                                     Migs 

                         Clyne        Skrtel             Sakho          Moreno

                                             Can           Lucas

                               Milner            Firmino          Lallana

                                                   Benteke

Can't see many changes for this one:

Mignolet

Clyne
Skrtel
Sakho
Moreno

Lucas
Emre Can

Milner
Coutinho
Lallana

Benteke

Subs: Bogdan; Lovren, Toure; Allen; Ibe; Firmino, Origi.

2-0 to us!

Tough game. We're workmanlike, and to be honest, reckon these could beat us. Hope to F**k I'm wrong. A win would be brilliant and could REALLY be doing with it. So ... COYR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                   Benteke

Hmm, good shout HScRed, although I'd maybe swap Lallana and Milner as most of Southampton's threat is from crosses and Moreno might need Milner's help cutting them out more than Clyne will.  I also think some of Milner's best attacking work has been on the left, for us and MCFC, while Lallana's has been on the right.

Yep, Lucas is first name on the sheet for me, he's in great form and we badly need his presence and game reading.

I'd keep Coutinho in, although I agree he seems out of sorts, and keep Firmino as an impact sub option.  I just think he needs feeding in gradually.

Set piece training all day today please.

                                                   Benteke

I think that's as good a team as we can put out at the moment, Coutinho needs a rest or a kick up the arse and Benteke and Firmino are our best hope of a goal.

I think this might be the game that we will finally get a win although it may only be 1-0, as in typical Liverpool style we start to get the wins and go on a run against the harder sides after failing miserably against the poorer ones.

I'd go with that but with Firminho pushed on just behind / off "Big Daddy Tekkers".........as my 12yr old has dubbed him!

Time to turn these draws into wins.

Hard fought 2-1 to us.

Get firmino & Big Ben on from the start.

I'd go for a different line up my self, were at home struggling for goals, I'd go two up top.

                                Mignolet

Clyne               Skrtel            Sakho           Moreno

                               Lucas

            Can                           Milner

                          Coutinho

             Firmino                   Benteke

                          Coutinho

             Firmino                   Benteke

Agreed.

Two up top is needed.

No way is Kloppo gonna drop Lallana.

Nor should he.

Not saying he will, just how I'd line up, I've got more confidence in Coutinho finding the strikers if they show good movement than I have Lallana is all.

Given Milner is so average I would swap him out of your line up for Lallana.

We would have lots of energy in midfield and a more attacking impetus.

By the law of averages we are due a win

Or a loss ?

  oh, no.

F**k me West Ham are F***ing smashing it, fair play. We need to pick up some points this weekend or we're going to be left behind

A must win game Chelsea losing one of the mans losing points.....you know what's coming

When you look at some of the crappy teams above us in the table it really is starting to look like a must win game. There is a CL spot up for grabs if we can just get a run of wins.

No pressure Jürgen but we really need a win mate. 

Just glad I'll be able to finally watch a full game without work getting in the way! Really need to be winning this and move up that table!

With the bitters losing today, this really is ANOTHER must win game.
Come on red men, let's show Jürgen you have it in you !!!!!

I know the lad hasn't quite been on it recently but I'm gobsmacked to see a few of you have Firmino (who has looked lightweight every time he has played thus far) ahead of the Brazilian, it's bonkers in my opinion. I'd like to see Lallana stay in the 10 shirt with Coutinho on that left hand side.

What is going on with Henderson and Sturidge?Are they fit for this game?
