Worst January of Football I can remember..
Teams have sussed us out.. we look pedestrian, toothless... we just have no answers..

We don't need to sign anyone.
I've alluded to this for a couple of months but was blasted as usual.
We badly need additional pacey skillful wide players like Mane.
Our current style only works when everyone is playing to the top of their game and we have zero cover in any position in terms of quality.

I'd advocate putting the ball in the net when we create very good chances.
There were enough available tonight.

Yep. We seem to be doing far more of this and far less of getting to the byline and cutting back .. which is how we've scored plenty of goals this season.
Yep. Southampton played us like a carbon copy of the Swansea game. There was nothing new or more urgent or creative about us today.
Teams that are able to sit back against us are likely to get a result.

BTW Studge really fucking pissed me off tonight. TWICE he couldn't be arsed running all out for ball ... until he realised in both cases that it wasn't, in fact, going out of play.
Once on a breakaway that ended up as a goal kick, after he subsequently lost the battle with the defender, and once the defender beat him to the ball (on our right in the 83rd minute) and ended up clearing the ball that should have still been in our possession in the final 1/3.

To be fair most of the crosses tonight were just aimless punts into the box. It's a worrying sign though as it suggests a team that has lost faith in its ability to create chances and will just roll the dice on a hopeful cross.
And 2 or 3 times he stood on the D waiting for a pass to reach him instead of stepping towards the ball, and a Southampton defender nipped in and stole it
We were the architects of our own defeat. we created sufficient opportunities to win that game. We all saw it.
Congratulations to Southampton by the way for taking their opportunity when it came.
Simply can't be arsed with player ratings but yeah, as Dirty Sanchez said ... a carbon copy of the Swansea match in that we slowed it down in the first half when we should have been at their throats and then when we did up the pace in the second we were all over them. We simply don't learn.
Lallana's passing was awful today, very disappointing. Can ditto. Milner ditto. Sturridge ditto. AA ditto. So many attacks fell apart because of poor passes when not under pressure. I really can't understand why.

Sturridge was disappointing. He wasn't exactly the only one.
Perhaps my faith in him is misplaced, but the main thrust of my argument was us having a top quality striker and reliable goalscorer
That was maybe Sturridge pre-injuries and not now, but it's certainly a requirement, and has been since Klopp arrived.
Don't see anyone arguing with it now though
Yeah, let's start a row and rub it in that Brendan's favourite didn't score. We lost. Hardly a time for I told you so.
It could be worst guys....

January 12th: Real Madrid unbeaten in 40 games. January 25th: 1 win in 5 and out of the Copa Del Rey. 2 weeks is a long time in football.

This is exactly the time Brandan would be rubbing it in if it were Firmino or Origi who failed as the #9. I'm just getting there first as I'm frustrated as fuck and Studge is going to be the object of my ire.
Hahahaha, it's the best time.
If it was told you so's I'd point back to the fact I've said we should sell him each of the last 3 windows
Dont agree. First half was like that, but we looked more like the team we were before Christmas in the second half.
Well he's certainly been a better #9 than Sturridge. Besides which he has been ace for most of the season.
No he hasn't
You did not need a piss to miss Firminio. He did not play today.
We were exactly that team vs. Swansea too .. up until we slowed it down again after scoring the second. Is it the team or Klopp's instructions ? Weird that we would suddenly (as in 2017) start this slow paced play when we are in possession.
Yes, he clearly has. Maybe not as many goals as we'd like but then he doesn't always (often) start as our #9. He's no clinical striker but he has a knack of being in the right place at the right time.
