To be fair, before injury, Skrtle was better than Lovren.

Here is the post match "press conference" for those interested

That was arguably the biggest impact a player has made when introduced as a sub ,pity it was all in Southampton's favour. Skrtel  reduced our back line to a shivering wreck ,any composure we had just withered away with his inclusion. We went from being a cohesive and high tempo attacking unit to a frightened and increasingly tired collative scared to reproduce the sparkling football we had produced in the first half.

I'm more annoyed with myself that their winner wasn't a shock after what had come before ,we have this ridiculous and inexcusable ability to capitulate entirely when a team gets the scent of fear in their nostrils ,and we produce enough fear to cripple any chance of successfully closing a game out. 

We should've been at least 3-0 up by half time.

Had a sickening feeling that the missed chances would cost us.

Not the first time we've held a 2 goal lead and then crumbled when the oppo have pulled one back.

Gutted   

Such a long 2 weeks now of feeling like 5hit and spending time doing DIY and other things planned out for me

Outfielder block 0
Tackles won 0

Its the first time in premier league history though mate that we've held a 2-0 half time lead and actually lost, we've been pulled back for a draw a few times but we've never actually lost from that position.

We all ways come up with these jekyll and hyde performances. We were magnificent on Thursday and cruising first half day today. Still can't get my head round how we managed to lose. Obviously Skrtel being all over the place contributed  massively but defence wasn't helped by our midfield crumbling in front of them and letting Southampton cut right through them.  Think Klopp alluded to this a little in one of his post match interviews

Today was the first time Liverpool had blown a two-goal lead in the league since 1964. (Dominic King)

That was a stark reminder of just how shyte this team can be. They go 2 nil up and should have put that game to bed before half time but again they fall apart at the seams. It isn't the first time they have done this and it wont be the last.

Skrtel had a mare and could not be any where near match fit. Training is bullshyte and you can only get match sharpness by playing in actual matches so its understandable that Klopp brought him on, especially since we looked to be cruising at 2 up.  In fairness to him he doesn't give away a lot of pens either and it isn't just his fault we lost today.

We have supposedly spent the last 4 years building a side with character and this is what we have ended up with.  There isn't one among the lot of them and we have nothing that resembles a leader either. Top 4 my ar$e.

Klopp is a good manager and we are lucky to have him I think but that board need to sort their shyte out and back that man in the summer. Some of the players we have are a joke and when you look at the clubs we took them from is it any wonder we are where we are.

How many of those unwanted records have we broken over the past 12 months or so? At one point under Brendan we seemed to be breaking one of those every week!
