This was the first time I’ve watched Southampton this season. What are they doing playing out of the back like that? They’re lucky - on another day Liverpool could’ve scored four just from taking the ball off their feet while they kind of stood there with the ball. They got several bounces that could have just as easily led to an immediate chance.

It’s not very often that you hear announcers be completely baffled by a team’s tactics, but they weren’t holding back on mentioning how crazy it was.

But you were right about looking off. No discipline at all. First Southampton goal VVD looks like he becomes bored looking at a bank of 10 players, dribbles into them for no reason, and gives them an easy counter. They let the guy who picked up the ball dribble in a straight line to the edge of the penalty area. That foul was probably outside the box, but I’m not even mad. That kind of play deserves to be punished.

On Southampton’s second goal Szobo misses a tackle and three Liverpool players proceeded to chase the ball like a bunch of U10 players. Goal scorer just waltzes into the box completely ignored.

A big thank you to Southampton for doing everything in their power to make the match hard for themselves. Gifted Liverpool 3 points today. Salah’s first goal he’s probably thinking “well that first touch was super bad for my standards but guess it’s going in because the keeper just ran past me for unknown reasons”

Such a weird match

United got absolutely manhandled and only survived because Ipswich couldn’t finish a sandwich.

And Onana temporarily morphed into prime Buffon. Would have loved to see the tractor boys throw that fan base into a tizzy… yes…a tizzy

Gibbs-White has been yelling at his teammates for not making the right play a lot this match for someone who is never making the right play himself. That would be real annoying.

Pretty lackluster match at the London Stadium.

Get in there!!!!

Salah getting his usual treatment. Fouled all half and only one has been called.

If City gets to HT only down 1 that’s a win for them.
