Quite an attacking 4-3-3 tonight. It'd be nice to not have a nervy, scrappy game.
Shane Long ready to have his one decent game of the season and mug off VvD.
Yeah, Long has form against us, although I'm not sure for Southampton (oh yeah, the League Cup). I'm sure he was so irritating for Reading that Liverpool were linked with buying him at some point.
Could do with a performance (and a goal!) from Keita.
Keita plays better when he remembers he's very good at taking his man on. Sitting and passing is not his game. The best thing for me to see tonight would be Salah squaring the ball to Mane for once for a goal, instead of selfishly taking a shot on and having it saved.
For fucks sake.
This guys got Klopps 4-3-3 well and truly sussed out.
Allowing Shane Long to score against you should result in a points deduction.
Trent gobbing down his chin
Matip getting bullied by every member of Southamptons attack is irritating.
Hopefully the goal calms us and we go on to win.
Also, Salah was offside.
Would that comeback in VARland then? So, if there's a 5 minute phase of play leading up to a goal, do you go back through all of it to make sure everything is legit or are there break points?
At least Keita has the goal, now get him the fuck off as there's no chance of a decent performance. Get someone on to help Fabinho out and stick Big Div on for 4 up front. How many times can you legitimately go to the skanking well?
The VAR wouldn't rule it offside because Southampton had long enough to reset? You wot? I don't think it was long enough and also if they just stopped in the hopes that it was offside they would be rewarded?
To get to half time at 1-1 is a miracle. I'd have Milner on for Keita. Oddly we seem to be getting joy from crosses.
This game is going to go frantic in the last 20 mins if there are no goals until then.
Is Ox dead?

The year's not up yet. He comes back in a couple of weeks.
Just in time.

WHAT ATMOSPHERE!!!!
Just look at the light going on and off.
What the fuck is this light bollocks all about? They'll all have plastic flags next.
Anyone who thinks Liverpool are on for the league is barmy. They might win tonight, but every game is a scrap, whilst City are strolling to 3 points every week. Something will give eventually.
Don't bring Henderson on ffs.
Like fuck is that a penalty Carragher.
He was halfway to the ground when he was touched.
Never a penalty.
I still think Liverpool need a proper out and out striker. Especially for games like this. Salah can't sprint in behind teams who sit deep. They need a battering ram sort of player.
£35m and you can have Mitrovic.
Calm down lads. It’ll come.

Nice of Van Dijk to pick himself up as soon as the ref blew his whistle.
I don't understand at all how that's a foul on Virgil. He's jjumping over the Southampton player and then falls on his ass?
I know he scored but why didn't he just pass it? Would have been an easy finish for Firmino.
That's exactly what I was on about from Salah before.
Good old Mo. I was saying ‘pass pass’ ha
He probably should have passed but fuck it, it went in.
Teams are just letting Liverpool win now. I know City are a top-to-bottom scum project, but people really need to think this through.
Pack it in Carragher you numpty.
Still time for Lovren to chuck a couple in.
