Did anyone bet on this being a 1-1 draw?
Nope. I thought we'd crush them. Got a reality check.
Starting to think that our squad just isn't good enough.
It's going to take time. But we were better with Firmino and Benteke on. A little concerned Ibe isn't getting gametime. Coutinho and Lallana don't make it in to my starting line up on current form. Well maybe Coutinho could drop back into midfield against weak oppo.

Lallana - our MoM for the past two matches. So no agenda here then.It's going to take time. But we were better with Firmino and Benteke on. A little concerned Ibe isn't getting gametime.

Yeah, I'd be going with Sakho on what I saw.
Nice to see a load of fans stream out early in the managers second game
He looks like he should be goodI don't see what other people do with Lallana. He may have the ball a lot in attacking positions and he can turn and dribble in an aesthetically pleasing manner. But he constantly makes the wrong decisions for me. Today he shot instead of slipping the ball into Milner who was running in on goal. Rarely does anything come from what he does and he has the ball loads. He shoots with the power of a kindergartener. His crosses lack the pace needed to be attacked properly. Distinctly average in the past two games and yet lasa are fawning over him. I'm baffled.
I think we'll fuck Southampton everywhere if we start with Bentekkers and have Studge to bring on.
How did Lucas play?
Not sure what the graph is showing though, clearly not the long passes. But yes, Lucas has improved us a lot when he came on, for one thing he plays a lot more vertical passes than Allen.
