For me Firmino plays to deep ,he is never on the shoulder of the defenders .
How many crosses did we put in but most of the time there is nobody there.
He actually played well but not as a CF.
Salah form is terrible
But the second balls just didn’t drop for us tonight.
Must be the worst ref in the league , Salah in a headlock nothing .
Keeper fouled by his own man free kick.

I remember the commentator pointing out Trent Arnold made 38 missed passes last night. Now I appreciate statistics can be misleading but that is giving the ball away on an industrial scale. The full backs are very important to the system so if one is misfiring it is bound to impact.

Liverpool had plenty of chances, they just are not going in right now.

Let's not forget Southampton in all this, they are a very good team, have strong attacking options.

One big upside from games over the weekend, VAR. Anyone else noticed how much quicker decisions are being made? The system is working much more efficiently and calmly.

I can't believe that stat is right. That's getting on for one every 2 minutes.

It's all about Liverpool, always about Liverpool. Liverpool have an injury crisis. The other team is not a factor :ROFLMAO:

Possibly. Beware a false dawn! It's going to take at least 2 years to settle down. I thought Brighton were robbed though when the ref didn't use VAR in the last minute of the match.

There is also no point now getting annoyed with VAR - guess the rules have changed

I know - it’s very frustrating when the inconsistency appears to get worse. If the same standards that we saw last night continue for the rest of the season then there will be minimal complaints - still have this nagging doubt that the whole “Livarpool” false nonsense that was spread maybe affecting decisions with VAR , hope that’s not the case.

Southampton played very well , the battle between Mane and Walker Peters was excellent , and their back line was superb. We didn’t create enough clear chances to get the win and Soton deserved the points

We are in a blip at the moment - having none of the main CB’s fit isn’t helping because we miss a lot of Fabinhos drive in the middle along with others but I don’t think we will get one in

In fairness the predictions were struggling for top 4 when we lost VVD - so to still be top isn’t a bad thing but we need to get results quickly - City getting results and same with Utd

I wondered if that included crosses that were headed out by a defender. It would make a lot more sense if it did with the amount of crosses he puts in. Wasn't he also on corners last night so that's a whole load more crosses.

That could definitely make sense. You would hope clearances would be a different category but I don't really look into them that much. I don't tend to take notice of stats but that one stood out.

There was a slight ironic tone to my post...as it was a copy of one of yours :eek::eek:

Talking of corners last night. Liverpool have one in fergie time. Allison is already in the box and Liverpool play a short one and the ref blows. Why not put it in the box ?

Meeow.
Has anyone mentioned Saints were without 6 first team players last night? Asking for a friend...?

strange you should mention that. City had a few first teamers missing v Chelsea and it’s the best Ave seen them this season. saints have a couple ? missing and played excellent. Where as Liverpool didn’t play well.

A few thoughts on where and why Liverpool are struggling appreciated.
