Speeeenddddddddd. Don't delay now. Surely having Young as your LB with a newly promoted reserve CB alongside him paints as clear as picture as possible to Woodward/Glazers.

At the risk of bringing up the Suarez saga all over again, the above video shows the sort of shit I think it far worse and deserving of the sort of ban that he got. Pretty clear it's premeditated since he's waiting in the tunnel for the guy after the game then runs off like a chicken shit afterwards. Reports are that Thiaga Motta suffered a broken nose form the attack.

Bit lucky to walk away with 3 points, Southampton should have scored 1 or 2 there in the 2nd half. Great showing from Saints with life after their summer dealings.

Utd transfers still dead in water; Benatia through into the mix as of last evening and now Bayern look to take him on. Good luck convincing him on that one, Woodward. Break the bank you moron.

Probably should have went with the booze instead of coffee as the whole second half I was just bouncing off the wall. Southampton a bit unlucky but fuck it, nobody is going to give back the 3 points. Skrtel was getting beat on the ground all day and Lucas was just ball watching half the time, the game changed once Allen came on.

Massive performance from Henderson today. He's another one that lives just around the corner from me. Don't know if I've recounted this story before but just after we bought him I bumped into him after one of our games against Everton in the local garage. I was bladdered and called him Stewart Henderson (we bought Downing at the same time). I told him then he'd have a couple of seasons out of position and would only come good once Stevie was fading a bit as they play in the same spaces.

Transfer business that got Dalglish the sack not looking so bad these days - there for six months and brought Suarez and Henderson.

Our worst performances last year were with Lucas and Gerrard in partnership and I'd have to say Rodgers got it wrong again by starting them together. They're just too immobile together and while I think Ward-Prowse is good and going to get better, they were making him look all world with the space in between the lines. It also shuttled Hendo out wide which isn't his strong suit, just really odd by Rodgers considering how we played in pre-season and hopefully he doesn't repeat this.

There is no way you can mount a serious challenge with that defence, its absolutely awful. Skrtel and Johnson are so so poor, Lovren awful as well.

Yeah that defence, with Moreno waiting to get clearance and the French captain on the bench

LOL, I guess we didn't come in 2nd last year?!

Johnson you can slate all you want, I'm hoping 'Arry makes a stupid bid for him on the 30th as QPR would pay his wages. Pretty sure you know nothing of football if you're going to slate Lovren though, I don't think he put a foot wrong all game. The goal was Lucas's fault as he just watched Clyne and the ball instead of following the runner.

Edit: LOL, new contract for Cleverleh? I guess I can see why you would slate Lovren if you're supporting a team that views his talents as worthy of an extension and raise.

Partisan shit slinging aside, Lovren was very good today. The only one in that back line who can't be faulted for the sloppy defending.

Johnson was dire. He sometimes catches too much flak, but today he was really bad.

I thought Manquillo was excellent as well, Southampton clearly were targetting him and Tadic eventually gave up and switched to the right against Johnson. Between Flanno/Manquillo I think our right side will be fine, now to see about Moreno on the left.

And why was that? Because your defense is awful.

Only man city has won the league in the last 10 years with a poor defence, that was only due to their ridiculous attacking strength that season.

The whole team was awful against Hull away or Southampton at home which those results are equal in costing LFC the title last year. I think LFC has lost 1 game in all of 2014 which was Chelsea at home, which again wasn't a defending issue more Gerrard falling over. I'm not saying our defending is stellar, but I don't think it needs to be mid 2000's chelsea if you can score a shit load. Real's defense is pretty suspect as well, didn't stop them from winning the CL last year or being favored this year. Same as Bayern.
