Pre Match: Southampton V Liverpool (19th Nov 2016 - 3pm)

 

That's definitely different...but I doubt we'll get away with fielding 12 players.

at the angry smiley.

Would you take a 3 nil win, a Sturridge hat trick, with no "graft"?

Chill the beans ya goat.

Yeah, of course I would, but it ain't likely is it ? A bit more closing down and not letting defenders have free time on the ball to do just what they want with it, might help to achieve it though !

Has taken a look at Southampton recent results and they are somewhat inconsistent. They can beat or draw against the top teams  but has dropped points againts weaker teams.  It's hard to draw any conclusion from these result. But we need to stay focus and not underestimate them and bang in a few early goals to unsettle them.

We'll be sound. If we play the way we know we can then no one can live with us.

Its getting to the point now where teams are virtually defeated before they get off the bus.

As JD mentioned first time defending top spot no pressure then , the players have to start believing they deserve to be there , I have no doubt Klopp believes it , come on you red men bring it home .

Mancs and Arse has draw written all over it based on what I've seen so far, chance to open a bit of a gap over Arsenal and put the mancs out of sight.

Hate international breaks, we never seem to play well following them so let's hope we can grind this one out.

tricky matchup if im honest. southampton has lost a couple games so would be up for it.   also we are defending top spot this time so our lads hopefully are up for it as well

just get 3pts and all is good

We're going to face a busy few weeks coming up so I wouldn't want to risk Lallana or Coutinho even if they're declared fit so perhaps try something different and play the diamond?

So you'd both play 12 men? I worry about a human not being able to count to 11

Mancs doing us a favour by beating Arsenal thus far.

Extend our lead at the top
