@AndyC ...thank you for the match report. I no longer subscribe (tv) to the epl ( I’m not feeding the beast any more) and so I appreciate the excellent report you do.

Horrible match all around. Two sides played poorly, we are slow ,predictable, over reliance on full backs, always have to take a extra touch to cross or pass and the one time Digne hit it first time it creates a goal.

Horrible what happened to Andre , it really is and can only wish him the very best of recoveries.

The VAR is a great tool being used poorly and again today is a prime example. Should of had a pen and Sanchez last man, unbelievable. However I worry they will be used by the more outspoken who people listen to , to cover the cracks for a poor performance and average team. Just a horrible day.

We should have got all 3 points but that´s where we are right now. I would stay with a midfield 3 next week and make us difficult to beat though. We need to make things difficult for Southampton.

lol

Absolutely fuming about Gomes.

Cant believe our players even comforted Son, he knew what he was doing.

Get well asap Andre

Sad that I need to type that but that´s where we are right now. If we go there with our usual away game approach the crowd will be bouncing along to a Southampton lead in the first 20 minutes.

Absolute never want to see Keane back in over Holgate again. We look so much better with Holgate and Sidibe in there.

Atkinson and his sly smile.....hate him

Shearer and Wright slaughtering var against us tbf

Two good pundits. Glad to see they are speaking up against it and pointing out the inconsistencies. Another weekend of football over and the main talking point is VAR.

If that Alli handball isn't given as a peno for Liverpool at Anfield at any point this season, I'll get YNWA tattooed on my forehead...

This thing we do were we instantly react to everything by comparing it to them lot is sad as anything. We've seen every side get screwed by VAR so far this season, it's not about individual clubs it's about how awful the people using it are.

The sooner the anger is directed at the right place the better.

I've gave man of the match to Tosun as it looked like he actually done what he was told to do which would be to score.

 

[Bob Latchford]

best midfielder - and he was subbed off.

says it all.

Couldn’t believe it.
wanted silva to work but we need to stop recruiting from the relegation bin.

get Laurent Blanc in now, please

I don’t think anyone would of seen a broken ankle coming from that challenge

Wrong player was sent offView attachment 70369

Son is the one who challenged him illegally, putting him onto the floor for Aurier to hit him, all on Son as far as I'm concerned.

A challenge from behind cant be anticipated, Gomes could have picked his leg up seeing Aurier coming at him, as Son has slid through him from behind he has taken that opportunity away from him.

interesting that Gallagher is saying previous same incidents weren’t fouls now. Interesting and a crock of bs.

Goal was rubbish, but we need some pace.

Honestly, I don´t think it was a red card. Freak accident.
