EFL Cup - Semi-Final ** Spoilers ** [10/11/25/26 January 2017]

The only bad thing about Southampton is the fact they probably had 1/2 dozen decent chances to score in each game and only managed a single goal per game

Apart from that they played out of their skins

Do you mean the depth of players to choose? If so I agree.

Yep. He hasn't got the players to rotate.

It's not possible to play a whole season at high tempo with 11 players and expect them to keep performing. Throw in the odd injury, absent player(s), form drops demonically. I hate to think what would happen if we had CL as well.

It's a battle to hold on to fourth spot now.

What's the point of buying a player the manager doesn't want? Haven't we seen with Rodgers that if a manager doesn't rate a player, he won't play him.

But there must be a sizeable list of players Klopp wants, you cant tell me that in all of world football there is nobody that Klopp wants.

People bemoan the lack of alternatives to Mane, or a lack of squad depth, well you cant alter the squad depth or get an alternative to Mane without buying. Thats the point I am trying to make. Its like Klopp is attempting to win stuff on a shoestring budget , just to prove it can be done or something. If Klopp thinks that player A, B, C or D could be what we are lacking, then we need to whack money down in order to get them or at the very least start putting in some serious bids for people. It just feels like nothing is being done in the transfer market and does anybody seriously think the players we have are enough? I frankly wouldnt be at all surprised if Summer comes and we buy about 3 players, all of which are attacking midfielders and all of which are under 23 years of age and are billed as potential for the future.

I'm sure there are players he wants but as he's said, we've tried to sign them but they're not available.

Given Klopp's stance on only wanting certain players then I see no sense in just making signings for the sake of signings because Klopp won't play them.

Just feels like he is the only manager in the league then who cant sign any of the players that he wants. Other teams seem to find a way to get players they want, bit of a worry for our immediate future if we are unable to sign any of the players we actually want.
 
Depends who he wants to sign. If it's the type of players the likes of Barca, Real, Bayern, City, Chelsea and the like are also in for then he's got no hope. If he's realised we can't compete with the best because we're no longer one of the top teams in Europe and he still can't sign anyone then the club has massive problems.

Who've the other teams in the top six signed this window?
 
Bit of an idiot isn't he.

Anyone watching this on skysports online?

The stupid desktop player you have to use these days keeps stopping and there is no way to refresh it other than closing and reopening it.

Not as far as I know. Think hes just not in favour at the moment.

We are playing awfully so far. Look like we can't be bothered and our passing and first touch has been dire.
 
Did the Hull player just not get a yellow for what Jones got a yellow for 5 seconds ago? Stunning refereeing already.

Oh we're just not playing him, ok. Seems Good.
 
Urgh, if we lose Martial because Mourinho is trying to **** him off. Why do these 'warning's not happen to other players? He's done it repeatedly to Shaw and Martial but other players can play dog **** every week and get hugs. Sickening.
 
Perhaps the fans should start booing him and generally disliking him. That seems to get people game time.

This is the worst I have seen us for a long time. We are crap tonight.
