Same as last 2 home matches. Frustrating beyond belief - at players and officials alike.
We should have had 3 pens and Joe Allen and Mignolet should have been off.
1 quality goal and 1 gift.
Need some wholesale changes in the front 3rd.
No urgency to get back in the game despite losing. We need to get our full backs flying again - creating and scoring and all our forward/midfield options are too similar. Maybe Shane can be the answer in a change of formation.
Pelle needs to start winning headers and pass it properly, instead of doing these stupid flicks that give possession away. I'm backing him to notch at West Brom next week :-)

Very poor refereeing and lino completely inept. Having said that, if you don't score you don't win. We really miss Bertrand pushing up the left, that petulant red card has really cost us, Lovren on a yellow card should have been pushed much harder.

Need to score to win even with a shite ref. Was disappointed with team selection. I think Reed should have started instead of W-P, and thought where the hell was Mané. Also would have preferred to see Long come on instead of Tadic. Lallana earned enough credit over the years to have deserved a bit better, he's a Liverpool player now, move on. People around me booing him got up and went to the bar 35 mins in and far too many up and left when the second goal went in. It a game of football not a pub crawl for christ sake. Sit in your seat (or stand) and get behind the team till the ref lets you know it's over.

Pelle, Tadic worst players on the pitch today by far, Pelle should of been off at half time, move Mane to centre and Long next to him. Tomorrows training session should only be shooting, the continuous bimbling around the box is sad, SHOOT FFS

Very early goal again, with our huge keeper still just beginning to stir his limbs. A top class keeper has to have a better save percentage than Forster. In response the defence reverted to a flat 4 and then it looked as solid as ever, even thought WBA didn't test it much. Midfield was disappointing...Schneiderlin looked as if he was just along for the ride while Wanyama did all the hard work. With only one of those two active, we were never going to help the eager but ineffectual 3 stooges, Tadic, Elia, Mane. Their lack of precision on final passes lost the ball just as often as their miscontrolled first-touches. (In the end, aren't those three too similar to be playing together?) And then, oh dearie me, the worst yet from Pelle. He surely can't keep his place for the Palace game. Something--anything--has to be be done.

Saints playing with only nine men do not stand a chance in this league. Yep nine men as Tadic and Pelle are no longer contributing. Pelle missed a sitter but this is not the first time that he has failed to connect or convert a cross from in front of the goal. Doesn't he keep his eye on the ball! We must get this sorted otherwise everyone will be downcast for the rest of the season.
Come on RoKo sort it out, tho it would have helped if the TX loan period had brought in a goalscorer.
Perhaps Gardos could be converted to a centre forward
