The Skipper

Liverpool were extremely lucky today, if Southampton had a clinical finisher up front they would've been dismantled today. Unluckily Southampton were just undone by Suarez's brilliance today, but I do really love how they approach the game.

Luke Shaw is class.

Not an awful performance but not good enough either. Dead average, and really should've attacked the ball better when Eden did his rabona cross.

Rock solid today. Having an amazing season.

Also, laughing at people that called him a poor finisher when he signed because of that stupid stat going about that he missed the most clear cut chances in Europe or something.

Fully took his chance. Well done Andre. I feel like too many people are expecting the wrong thing from Schurrle. He isn't a flashy, technical player, he's all about movement, getting into right positions, pace and finishing. Hopefully his display today showcased that.

For the last 5 minutes, fine. Not when there was still 15+ mins left.

What are you expecting from Mikel, sorry?

He is completing most of his passes though...

Thank God you aren't managing, because Mikel is coming on to do a simple thing - close the space between our defence and midfield. Luiz just came back from injury, no need to risk him for a simple job like that.

Blame Mourinho for that, Mikel is coming in for exactly that reason.

Yeah definitely, and because Schurrle isn't technical he sticks out more. Also our full backs, I seriously hope we sign Shaw in the summer so we can stop this Azpi on the left nonsense.

Exactly.

I agree with the latter but honestly don't think Schurrle was as bad as people are making him out to be before his goals - the only thing that was really bad were his deliveries - they were horse shit.

Doesn't have Henry's technique/flair unfortunately.

Brilliant. Both doing what they're good at. Eden creating, Schurrle with the great movement and finish.

What criteria are you using to judge him? He isn't in the team to create like Oscar and Hazard are. You shouldn't expect that from him. Schurrle is about movement, pace, dragging people out of position and getting into the right place at the right time. The only really bad thing from him were his deliveries, apart from that he wasn't as bad.

Andre isn't shit. He isn't a technically gifted player and before his goal he wasn't good but Oscar and Hazard were just as bad before the goal.

Let's get a second.

Yes!!!

Mourinho should've started Lampard, and should've started Cole. We're failing to break down a team like Fulham, this isn't good. We honestly can't keep relying on brilliant play from Hazard to carry our attack.

I agree. My main gripe with Mourinho in games like these is exactly this. Azpi should be on the right.

I agree with most of what you said in your discussion with Robguima, that's not the point in trying to make here. You can obviously whatever you want about any player but when you say ridiculously overboard stuff like that then obviously people will react.

Matuidi is more composed on the ball but you're telling me they both aren't box to box, ball winning midfielders first and foremost?

Everyone knows Luiz is having a bad season, I'm not advocating that he should be in the starting line up but to say someone is mentally incapable because they want Luiz in defence like he's the worst CB in the world is ridiculous. This had nothing to do with Cahill either, who has not been in this form for two years straight, hence why he is not being called WC.
