The OFFICIAL Liverpool FC thread - Arne to Slot right in?

Daniel Sturridge's ability to fall over repeatedly is truly remarkable.

Daniel Sturridge's ability to fall over repeatedly is truly remarkable.

He was very frustrating tonight. When Mané is back, Sturridge is going to be lucky to get 10 minutes at the end of a game.

Especially with United the likely opposition!

That said, they need to come out with a lot more urgency and movement and drag Southampton out of position all across the field to find openings in the bus, not the passive shit they pulled against Swansea on Saturday. If they slowly switch it wing to wing, they can just sit there, pack the centre and the box, and we'll be looking at a 0-0 or 1-0 defeat when Southampton find Shane Long on the break.

Well that was sadly predictable.

Need to pull it together and quick. Wouldn't have scored if they'd another 180 minutes to do it.

Remember I was ridiculed for correctly pointing out Klopp is not a good manager, and Hemderson, Milner and Origi amongst others are terrible footballers?

No need to apologise.

I was roaring to sell him after he missed that first chance 😀

The outcome was sadly predictable from early in the first half.  Same kind of performance we've seen over the last 5 or 6 weeks.  Not sure if it's tiredness, loss of Mane, or that teams have worked us out.  On the face of it there's a basic template there now for pretty average teams to play to.  Could be groundhog day to the end of the season until Klopp can rethink things.  Lack of width, and Clyne was a miss on this front.  Sturridge is a busted flush.  Time for him to move on to a new challenge.

Southampton laughing up their sleeves!  Sold Liverpool their dross for twice their worth and then beat them home and away in the seasons following! 🙈🙉🙊

Fearon will be landing in here next.

The first big test for Klopp, who has avoided negative scrutiny until now.
What's the verdict? Too predictable to play against, burn out from the high intensity style, or the squad being too thin?

I think it's just a poor run of form. Confidence as much as anything. Sometimes we overthink these things. If they put in a performance against Chelsea, the world will seem a brighter place. But it is going to challenge him to get them out if this, but sure that's why he's there. If it was easy, everyone would be good at it.

I have correctly pointed out time and time again that Klopp is a clueless clown.

A bit of everything I'd say.

[Over the Bar]

Being comprehensively beaten by a team managed by Ben Stiller must add insult to injury.....

[J70]

Beginning to think that Stallion is right. Liverpool so easy to play against now. Just hard work and keep your shape at the back. Something is badly going wrong. No inventiveness at all. Would love to see a stat on how many  milner corners actually reach the box.

Don't be an eejit.

The Stallion was nowhere to be seen when Liverpool were ripping everyone to shreds. Then he shows up again when they go through their inevitable bad patch. In a few weeks, when they've gotten back on track, he'll disappear again. Its what wind-up merchants do.

On the rest of your point, they will need to flesh out the squad in the summer. Need more options with injuries/absences and loss of form.

Liverpool have won more penalties than matches this year.
