      Pre Match : Liverpool v Southampton : Sunday 7th May 13.30
      May 04, 2017 08:56:58 am
      Puel has certainly done a number on us in the last few encounters but hopefully the fact that they have nothing to play for might make breaking down their stubborn defence a bit easier for us.
      We are not playing the brilliant all out attack from early in the season and Im sure that is down to the lack of Mane and the players just seem a bit leggy at this stage of the season, Klopp can see it and is taking a more pragmatic approach to games.

      As we are at home there is not need to play two defensive Mids and seeing as though Origi has been a bit meh recently I would be tempted to start with Sturridge and see if we can get 45mins out of him.

      A spawny 1-0 will do.

      Prefer your idea of Sturridge on from the start, but I'm not betting on it.

      southampton has been a thorn of late and after our win at watford could be a huge banana peel

      klopp has to get it right in terms of team selection, tactics and more importantly get our lads fired up!

      lets do this boys, bring CL nights back to anfield!!!

      3 games against this lot and we haven't even scored. We owe them one for sure.

      I'd be getting Sturridge in up top for Origi and starting Lallana in place of Lucas. Hopefully Coutinho is fit.

      Most of our problems have come from people playing in positions unfamiliar and thats why I would keep Lucas in as I still think hes the best anchor in midfield

      I like Southampton. Even if they had something to play for I doubt they would come here and put bodies behind the ball like most teams do, it's just not in their nature. They'll come here looking to play and to win the game but that makes them a big threat, they're a very good side with very good players. It should make it a good game because we are at our best when teams attack us so I'm really looking forward to this.

      We've picked up some crucial points recently in some very difficult fixtures so Jürgen and the lads deserve huge credit. We aren't quite over the line yet though. This is another must win game and then we can relax and watch Arsenal United which will hopefully be a draw. That would be the perfect day. So go all out boys and attack Southampton from the first whistle.

      Is coutinho fit? If so then the only change I would make is Lucas out and Lallana in. Lucas has done a brilliant job in recent weeks but I'd like to see us go a bit more attacking at home. We are a different side with Lallana in it, he makes us tick. 

      So back five of migs clyne lovren matip Milner.

      Midfield three of can wijnaldum Lallana. Can stays in rather than Lucas simply because of his worldie goal the other night. Hopefully it'll give him a confidence boost.

      Front three of coutinho firmino origi.  I'd like to see firmino in the 9 role though because he is wasted on the flank, he just doesn't get involved. He causes all kinds of havoc whenever he plays down the middle though so get him back into that position.  Origi has offered little during his run in the team so it makes sense to swap them over. I trust origi to do a solid job down that right hand side for us. He would also win every aerial dual against Bertrand.

      Come on reds. Win this and we are basically there.

      Think Sturridge stays on the bench to be a game changing sub (according to what Klopp has said in his presser). I'd agree with Bobby through the middle and Lallana and Couts on the wings. Gini-Can-Lucas through the middle works for me. Just go get it done, we have to have 3 points.

      I've got a funny feeling we might give them a real drubbing, they have absolutely sod all to play for in this game and we are well overdue a comprehensive home win.

      I'm going for 4-1 to us.

      It's striking how much of a difference having Lallana on the park makes for us in this system, even without him scoring much.

      With three games left surely on his money that he is pocketing Sturridge can do something to get us over the line into the Champions League ...even if he were to play   3 x 45 mins in those games.

      If he were to get a goal or two  then we could say it was all money well spent .   



      Surely out of his professional pride it is what he would want to do .......... or is it ?

      That said we're due a win against these buggers, and I'm confident we'll get it. 2-1 Reds. I'm only giving them a goal because there bound to have at least one shot on target 😁

      The Italian player Gabiadini they bought up front in January(I think) has scored some great goals and is a right f**kin pain in the ass in the box if you give him space.
      but then again we have Firmino, Coutinho, Lallana,Origi, Sturridge...surely to god you'd think we can get the 3 points we need with that lot in the team...

      I always thought this was our toughest game of the run in, (last 6)
      If we can win this, I think we'll win them all.
      Saints seem to raise their game against us, but I'm thinking we have clearly got the better side man for man. A few goals in this, and i'm going for a nervy 3:2 to the Red Men.

      I expect Soton to attack us, a nothing game for them so they might as well attack. If they score early, then they will sit deep.
      Could be a lively first 20 minutes. Must win game obviously and could be the weekend that really puts us in the frame so no slip ups.

      Mourinho says he will rest players for the Arsenal game. Is he damaging the integrity of the league. I'd rather finish above the mancs both clubs going flat out than Jose chucking the towel in. The Europa is not a certainty for them and he could end up back in the Thursday League next season.

      We are not safe yet and we are capable of snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory.

      I think they will start on the front foot as they are safe. Not much to lose so I think they will have a go. Could be to our advantage.

      Lallana in for Lucas. 3-0 the score.

      Money aside, it really doesn't make much difference whether we finish 3rd or 4th, either way we have to qualify for the Champions League, and to be honest, I'd rather us limp over the line so there can be no papering over the cracks so FSG know full well that we need major surgery this Summer.

      We could do with a nice few goals in the bag tomorrow with City scoring for fun today, we need to get that goal difference back up, never easy against Southampton, but hopefully we've got enough left in the tank to paste these.

      Short and sweet as I've got a very early start in the morning ( I hate lunchtime kick offs  :roll: ) but let's get behind the boys tomorrow and send a message to the rest that we're still in business....come on you mighty redmen  :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:

      3rd would be preferable as you go straight to the group stage

      There's a huge difference between 3rd and 4th. Finishing 4th means we could end up with a potentially tough playoff tie and it also has a big effect on our pre-season schedule too.

      Aye 4th could potentially mean a Napoli or Sevilla as our coefficient is so poor.

      All this talk of Southampton have nothing to play for crap,do you honestly think as a professional football club their management team and players would train and prepare all week ,then fly up for todays game and let themselves down in front of millions watching on tv ,and more importantly their own paying fans who will travelling up .There is no doubt about it the pressure is on us because we have something to play for and to prove not only to our fans ,but the watching audience our recent home results are in the past a win is needed today nothing else.I  for one would not be happy if the situation was reversed and travelled down to Southampton to witness a nothing to play for attitude game!We will have to be at our best today to win these 3 points and keep this in our own hands,imagine if our players had this attitude that Southampton players had nothing to play for we would be beat before a ball was kicked ,honestly some of you have on here just dont see the real picture ,yet would be first on here if we got beat today moaning about how good Southamptons approach was and our lads under estimated Southampton

      Southampton, always a dangerous side, to my mind. Need to defend well, score a couple of goals, to take all three points.

      Mourinho says he will rest players for the Arsenal game. Is he damaging the integrity of the league. I'd rather finish above the mancs both clubs going flat out than Jose chucking the towel in. The Europa is not a certainty for them and he could end up back in the Thursday League next season.

      We are not safe yet and we are capable of snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory.

      His protege played the same game a couple of years ago with a "depleted" side.
      The names Real Madrid and Chelsea jog any memories?
      That was a glorious f**k up.

      We can of course all hope but Mind Game Mourinho is basically saying to everyone .. including us .. that if he loses to the Arse its down to the 800 minutes of football in April. If he wins he is a genius at rotation.

      Like I've said already .
      It shouldn't have come to this ... worrying about others results.
      The games we have dropped points on to the bus parkers  would have otherwise had us up there ... not giving a monkey's about the Scum.

      I said Soton have nothing to play for and it's a phrase often used at this stage of the season. It does not actually mean they will just not bother and it will be an easy win. The phrase is used as an indication of their mindset in that they will play with a little bit more freedom. Little less pressure than say a side that needs the points to stay up.

      This could, obviously be a sly Jose trick, trying to condition Arsenal. Wenger probably won't buy it. A win for Arsenal and we get done by a ref inspired penalty defeat and It's all back in the melting pot.

      The timing of the games helps them. We get beat and both teams will be motivated even more.

      Just cause these have nothing to play for, don't think it means this will be any way easy. The feeder club could easily bite the hand that feeds. They've done us already this season, and relatively comfortably too. Fair enough it was in our 'bad patch', but still, some teams just know how to cause us problems and then be fooking sh*te against everyone else (stand up Crystal Phallus). Beautiful day here, not sure will be able to stay in and watch the match due to 'family commitments', but will be checking the scores and if Nathan Redmond gets on the sheet will be pretty pissed we didn't keep him quiet. Haven't seen any prematch, so hoping Cou starts and would also start Studge instead of Origi, but doubt that'll happen. Another cracker from Emre would go down well at the Kop end.
      Season is running out of steam, so get at them from the start and get the 3 points lads please :)  COYRs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
