It's a foul imo - Soldado looks at Mignolet and goes for him before he's anywhere near the ball, he knows what he's doing.

Not sure why AVB persists with the high line especially with these players.
He changed it for the United game actually, but gone back to it against a team who are far more lethal in attack than we are. Weird.
That says more about how good we are in the first half though.

Fiorentina is so good when they are on. Montella is a god.
We really look frazzled out there, too many heads have gone. Only Chadli is looking confident, the rest are cracking under the pressure. I'm not sure what we do now, having to take off Sando was a disaster and our CB pairing is only going to get more exposed with Paulinho in front of them. I guess the first thing is that we need to retain possession of the ball. Our passing has been dogshit, everybody is panicking and playing stupid balls, I don't really remember a spell in the match where Liverpool had to soak up any pressure.
Newcastle was interesting.
Shite in the first half, 442 with 6 first teamers missing. Pls.
2nd half was much better and we could have stole it. Point fair result though.
Ref was atrocious and i took great delight when he got uppercuted and went down in stages.
Newcastle fans very quiet too. Shearers is now called Nine :lol Much nicer now though, fit staff too.
I have no voice left.

For who lol? Spurs aren't playing a midfielder in defence against Suarez for the fun of it.
Excellent first half performance. We're doing exactly what I like so much about Southampton's style - constantly pound on the door from high up the pitch and never give them a moment's rest.
Excellent work so far, especially from Henderson, Sterling and Allen who have done so well to keep winning the ball back.

Yeah, when we are 3 or so goals up at half time, you natural take your foot of the gas for the second half. Especially against the shitter teams.

Sad seeing the united number on it
It's not working, is it.
You can hear Dawson's arse clenching whenever Suarez looks at him.
Well, Liverpool have still scored more second half goals than Spurs
Anyway, I think its been an even game with the difference just in the finishing and the quality of chances. Spurs have certainly showed their threat, particularly down the right side where Chadli has got beyond Johnson a number of times (though his delivery has been abysmal). Strange to think that people were concerned about Lennon v Flanno, when he has once again proved solid, albeit with Sakho utterly imperious inside of him.
Allen & Henderson have been absolutely outstanding in the middle and shown up the Spurs midfield which is supposed to be superior on paper. As predicted, Stirling is having a right go at Naughton as well. Still, Liverpool could have finished the game off first half; Spurs can still pull this back as Liverpool tire, regardless of how poor their finishing was first half

Holy crap it's 3 Liverpool men in the studio.

Not as good as Seedorf though.
On top of what Wheels said, Liverpool didn't play midweek, they should have better legs second half.
Spurs fan will be angry today, the ref has been kind to us and their CB's aren't working together.
Liverpool need one more just after the restart to finish the game.

It's not as if all those players only played for Liverpool...
I don't see how the ref has been kind to us. I can understand the argument about the foul on Mignolet. I think the ref's made the right decision there but the other tussles have been well-won by us. We're using our bodies and getting in front of the ball well.
Not to mention that Suarez was definitely tripped on the edge of the area in what should have been a very dangerous free kick or maybe a penalty (can't recall if it was in or out of the box).

England's team.
Spurs are a very different team to that Arsenal side. Just take the first 10 minutes of the second half calmly and the game will play out
I just compare the referee this game to the Hull game, the ref is giving us free kicks today, but he didn't at Hull.
Second half awaits.
This was very prescient! I fear for AVB's job if this stands. Got a feeling this could be the death knell.
Yeah, but you are playing Spurs so everything is alright!

No, but they didn't exactly play for Spurs.
I mean yeah, Steve and James played for city (although Arsenal fans could feel aggrieved at that) but you would identify them as Liverpool players first.
Coldplay619 - Watch your back if Souness reads that.
Couldn't Hoddle have stepped in for Souness though to balance things a little. *shrugs*RAWK Meltdown ‏@RAWK_Meltdown 1h
(Aston Villa 0 - 3 Man Utd) sky presenters furiously wanking now
He offers so much to our team. It's great to see him stepping up in Gerrards absence too.

Same question as always: I'm currently sitting in Gibraltar airport and can't watch the game. How badly are Spurs playing today? Also I thought Henderson was now a quadriplegic or something, why is he scoring goals?!
