"A bit of a lazy shot from Salah" said the 'tator who will be apologising for that and fawning later.

We've been looking forward again this half. Good to see. Nice pass out from Will. Super stop from Ramsdale!

C'Mon Saints!

3 Liverpool subs. We have them worried.

We set ourselves up with a decent formation and a plan today. Will and Les got a bit of cover in midfield, while Juric counted on Sule to be our outlet. We did enough to keep them relatively safely at bay, with good positioning on a few shots that needed blocking. Salah was having some joy against Manning. We doubled up on that, and then Salah cut in,allowing us to have Manning in there to provide more cover. Up front, they couldn;t let Sule alone as they know he's got the pace. Sometimes, that's all it takes. Being able to have more structure suits Will well. He's had an excellent half. Linking up with defence, being an outlet in midfield and looking to release Sule. And then there's his composure for his goal. I was looking forward to seeing him develop in the PL after such a lot of it in the Championship. Very pleased to see him doing so well today. More of the same second half, please.

Manning block! Handy that they aren;t trying to take him on one on one. He's got in a couple of really good clearances as a result.

Shame Sule's pass didn;t get to it's destination. Nice skill.

VAR looking at the Nunez challenge.... ... right decision.... ... KWP sent off, our goal disallowed and a goal given to Liverpool. 🙂

Nunez challenge looked like just a kick. Rubbish.

Will!!!!!!!!!! star!!!!! so composed. Well done!

What's that called, when a single figure gets a little friend to stand beside it, like that "0" there has a "1" beside it?

Camera switches to Lallana... being dragged away from the Liverpool bench, where he was wanting to sit. 🙂

Kind of allowed space for the header in and again for the Nunez shot. Worried about them falling over I guess.

Good block from Manning. Not having to be the guy in the left back position that time, he covered well.

You must fancy Fate, the amount you keep tempting an appearance from her here. 🙂

Aaargh. Pass it back to Will. We would have got that up the park there.

Right idea from Dibling, seeing the space and looking to run into it.

But sadly, would have been lumbering about for a lot of the other moves. Shame we don;t have players who can do more than one thing. 🙂

Nice ball in from Fernandes. That's a couple where a proper striker would have seen the space and went for it.

Nice from Dibling there. We've not managed to get it over the half way line from it. But still.

Will gets it clear!

Dibling had a better option to get a ball in. Still, positive things.

Wasn;t the worst free kick. We just forgot to have anyone run in on the header into the centre.

Hi! Welcome to another episode of "Posts That Haunted Me." 🙂

Les sluggish looking again. Gave too much space allowing that shot in.
