Am I seriously the only one happy about this scoreline (other than the 'pool fans of course). Liverpool have to travel to Besiktas on Thursday then to City on Sunday, if they win the Besiktas game and Spurs win their game ( a bit more unlikely) it means we'll play both on the back of them playing Thursday games. Liverpool have not been "great" today!

I think both these teams would have raised their games if they were playing us … and therein lies the problem!
Spurs arent playing this week right?

Stop all this negativity. We can go to Anfield and win! Need some positivity.

Defensively Liverpool are so much more assured. Mignolet having a good run of form too. Saints haven't really tested him.
Despite Lovren.

Skrtel and Mignolet have been very good.

Once we scored, all we've needed to stay ahead has been graft, really. Saints haven't been great.

You know things are going well for you when even Mignolet doesn't look shit.

Liverpool earned it according to Smith. Man of the match was Kevin Friend.

If we learnt anything from Liverpool-United derbies it's that form goes out of the window on these matches.

The team isn't showing us something to be positive about. Van Gaal is a fool, I'm sorry but he is. How do you feck top four so bad? How? Please explain this to me.

Sure Liverpool are in form but they are no great shakes. They should have been down 3-1 in the first half. They can drop easy points.

In league table terms, Southampton are 5th and the latter 6th. Where did you get the fourth from ?
That's my prediction of how the final standings will look.

United have let a 10 point lead over Liverpool be dwindled down to two.

Shows how much of a straw man that run of two defeats in 19 has been.

Our shit form recently really will cost us in the long run. Southampton at home, West Ham away and Swansea were games we needed a maximum points total from. Everyone around us have caught up. Southampton were never really going to be in contention for a top 4. Europa league wont derail Liverpool too much either I don't think. They are on a really strong run.

Southampton were never coming top four? I didn't hear much of that for the past weeks, by this time next week, we'll be having a different reaction as there's a possibility to pull away. Looking at the bigger picture though, we're good enough to reach our objectives this season.
didn't think they would at any stage.
It's our prospects that I've changed mind on, from definitely would, to a bit of doubt, to now, looking at Pool's fixtures versus ours, cripes, squeaky bum unless we can develop some style.

they've an easier run in than us, are in better form, and we've to go to Anfield.

They've made up 8 points on us since the turn of the year, I'm worried.

Liverpool's fifth consecutive away clean sheet, Rodgers deserves a lot of credit for sorting out their defence.

My thoughts are feck style, let's develop a pattern of win-at-all-costs. I don't care if it means 3-5-2 for the rest of the season. Just get that 3rd/4th spot, then talk of style and beautiful football in the summer.

Liverpool will tear us a new one at their place. Really worried about our top 4 hopes when Arsenal and Liverpool are better than us.

Two months ago Liverpool were on the brink. Out of the CL, beaten 3-0 at Old Trafford amongst the other shocking results and performances. Now they've found their style again, are resilient and back scoring. Only 2 points behind when at one stage they were 10. I'm not confident.

The lesson could also be that things can turn around quickly. Things are looking shitty for us at the moment, but it might be the case for us as well.

Taking the next corner instead of Jones!

Because they've had time away from Europe travel and mid-week fixtures … they are well and truly back now with this weeks fixtures and they will suffer again!

I think one has to concede that Rodgers is turning into a very good manager. He's certainly turned it around again...
Yes, he's done it. And they're playing nice football. Up there with Southampton, City and Spurs.

There's an underlying message. They've progressed in style and results. We've gone backwards.

Yep, detest him, but he's done a great job the last few months. He's getting results now and it's disgustingly impressive.
