Speedbump

I don't have much to say about this past week's performance from Liverpool. Saturday's loss to Southampton pretty well sums up the label "consistently inconsistent," the Reds have been given this year. The mere fact that Southampton were able to put 8 shots on target within the first 20 minutes of the match says a lot about Liverpool, at least in this game anyways. 

The back line looked dazed, and unable to contend with Southampton's counter attack. I haven't seen that many balls played over our last line in a long while. It's never a good sign to see defenders turning to catch up  to the ball!

Southampton were able to get two goals before half. Coutinho knocked one in for Liverpool just before the halftime whistle off of a pinball in the box. The Saint's put another one in during the second half to seal the deal, and send Liverpool home scratching their heads. Let's hope this was just a minor hiccup in the Red's climb to a Champion's League spot.
