We asked for your thoughts after Sunday’s Premier League game between Southampton and Liverpool, which the Reds won 3-2.
Here are some of your comments:
Southampton fans
Rod: Played well, again, but gifted them two goals, again. It’s time for Martin to acknowledge that his desired style of play does reflect the capabilities of his team.
Duncan: I’m convinced that sacking the manager would be a disaster. There is fight in this team, there is skill and there is intelligence. We saw with our own eyes what happens when the defence just hoof the ball out – to cheers from the crowd – it comes straight back. Off to Brighton next, with hope and confidence.
Hedley: The manager must go! He employs suicidal tactics, taking ridiculous risks in and around the team’s penalty box. In addition, many of the players are not nearly good enough. They wasted millions of pounds buying third rate players in the summer. They must change the manager and completely change their style of play, or else relegation is certain!
Tom: Well Russell, pride comes before a fall. Unfortunately your refusal to change and adapt your style in the Premier League is getting us relegated. The same interview every week by him. Thanks for getting us promoted but it’s time for a change.
Liverpool fans
Sean: Found a way to win again despite not being at our best. Great team spirit goes a long way in a title charge.
Zahid: I’m not exactly sure we were dominant but we were certainly doing well. Salah’s performance showed why FSG need to agree a new deal with him. We were caught on the counter-attack and the other goal was a penalty that should never have been. But, I’m pretty satisfied with the game and hope we can get wins against Real Madrid and Manchester City.
Barry: Before the game I thought this was going to be a tough game considering what happened at the Eitihad and the underlying pressure that brings. The difference is we battled back to a deserved victory and got the job done. I’m really confident about next weekend now. Only downside was Darwin was non existent for me (again).
Trevor: The Reds still like to go behind and then come back to win. Not good enough when the manager every week says we lack the intensity in the first half. A required win rather than a good one. Well done, Saints. Not good enough, Reds. You are getting away with it at the moment – results and table flatters.
