Southampton Half time. Fuck me with a fucking big shiny shovel.
Southampton Full time. Fuck me with a big shiny shovel.
Alisson
7/10
Nothing to do first half but open his mouth in disgust at the shit show happening in front of him. Nothing to do second half except admire the bollocks of this side in front of him.
Trent
6/10
Jesus Christ he struggled there first half. Flashes of brilliance, but gave it away for a laugh. Looked either injured or fucking goosed. Great decision to take him off.
Joel
7/10
When big Joel is sliding into centre mid like jockey Hanson on a Gary you know you are in a bit of trouble. He is like an absolute accountant who rubbed a lamp and wished to be a footballer. Still an accountant, just weirdly good stroke never want to see him play ever again. The maddest player any fucker has ever seen.
Virgil
8/10
Captain Virgil. Can’t do much about their goal. Mad the way he lashes in a performance like that and you are like yer he didn’t really do much. But, its probably up there with the top 100 centre half performances of all time.
Andy Robbo
7/10
Loved it when he fell over at the end and tried to head the ball at the lads feet.
Naby Keita
7/10
Got pounced on every time he got it first twenty, and looked weaker than your ma’s kitten. Scores the goal off the back of one of their bellends heads. Grows into the game keeps the ball, shows for the ball, like every time. Like every time, which takes some doing. Deserved to stay on.
Fabinho
7/10
People cry like fuck when the doomsday midfield is picked but fuck me the first half effort was the opposite. Without the ball it was a shambles. Ragged, sloppy, their goal a direct consequence of no one doing what they should be fucking doing. Felt sorry for Fabinho in that he had fuck all support of the other two. Looked well better when he had some legs around him second half.
Gini
6/10
Looked fucked. As in, I played fivos the other month. Said to me mate who asked me to play, what’s the standard like lad? You will be sound yerno it’s decent but you will be better than most. Great, turned up full of beans. What the little fucker didn’t tell me was every cunt was fitter than Mo Farah. I spent the hour doing shuttles and had to sit on the pan for an hour and and q half when I got home. My bird thought I was having a stroke. Gini that there.
Mo Salah
8/10
Not much space. Bits and bobs of hard lines. Put him in mo. Play him in mo. Mo? Mo? Bedlam. Took his top off, stood there, better than anyone I have ever seen. A god. Carved out of stone.
Bobby
8/10
Grafted as per, fiddled with his hair for a bit, a daft amount of unreal defensive headers, busted his cock off to have every fucker screaming at mo to lay him in. Great play for the Hendo goal. Hero.
Sadio.
8/10
Picture the scene. Alder hey, 2012. 16 hours of labour. Mayhem, gowns everywhere, emergency surgery culminating in a genius NHS Dr, supported by 12 other amazing colleagues passes me my new born son, fit as a fiddle. The greatest thing I have ever seen in my life.
Until Sadio lashes in that tackle on the edge of our box and the reds break and the reds break and the reds score. Best there ever was. Sorry family.
Subs
Henderson
8/10
Funny isn’t it. The internet hates him, but then let’s not forget that the internet brought us a Trump America and a Brexit Britain. Maybe we should ignore the internet for a bit. Was tremendous when he came on. Bullied them. Set the tempo. Got the reds adding layer on layer of pressure. Scores. Celebrated. Stick that up your arse.
Milner
8/10
Come on, like his mate above and set a tempo and a half. Massive impact on the reds winning.
Degsi
8/10
Kicked one up in the air.

I don’t care what anyone says, you will not see better substitute performances than what Henderson and Milner provided in this game. They steered what could’ve been a title-ending shambles into a potentially title-winning victory. That’s why Klopp still has them wearing the armband ahead of other players.
Love the Ben Johnno comments after every game. Surprised he didnt mention their pathetic booing of Virg……….think even they got embarrassed by it in the 2nd half, as if they realised “yeah, he is too fu**ing good to be playing the rest of his career at Southampton”…….bellends!!
Still dont like the purple kit, but a win’s a win……….up the stick-it-up-your-arse-we-will-fight-to-the-last-minute-of-the-last-game-Reds!!!
A good read until the Brexit remark
Mate, leave politics out of it, most people who voted, want out of the German/French controlled EU and be a free independent country
Ha ha ha fuck Brexit up the reds title charge
Always find it mad we have tories or brexiteers in our base!
Great comparison Ben.
Ps Virgil was poor today.
Not in Liverpool
I do love the endless requests for the anfield wrap contributors to be ‘less political’ when they live in a city that will probably be one of the most effected by the withdrawal of European Union development funding and the continuation of the UK’s current government. Tedious in your inability to understand that.
Sport is inherently political from FIFA shenanigans to Manchester City’s ludicrous financial doping from the proceeds of their owners oil industry to promote Abu Dhabi’s interests and obsfucate their human rights abuses.
You mean the a free and independent country that truly has no idea what it is doing and is America’s lap dog?
I like what the French Foreign Minister said, she has called her cat Brexit. She says it cries to go out and when you open the door it just sits there.
Or you could’ve just ignored it instead of highlighting it and make you look like a bit of a dick.
…This comment has surely out-Johnsoned Johnson. Has to be. Surely. Yeah?
I thought they wanted more money for the NHS? That’s the problem. There was no detailed plan and now no-one agrees what it means.
A bit ironic that you tell him to leave politics out of it then you proceed to go deeper into it…
Eh chump leave Brexit out of our Club, (btw fyi, you wool, think you’ll find the vast majority in the Remain camp)
Fuck your brexit muppet. I live in Ireland. Thanks a bunch.
Henderson 9/10. Other than a slightly unnecessary yellow, he did more than enough to earn 10/10 in the time he was allotted.
Degsi 8/10. Love it. For blending and vanishing and not doing anything crazy – agreed. My wife couldn’t watch after he came on against Tottenham, but Lovren did the same thing then. (She was at work for this one.) There are other fellows, who shall not be named, who have been subbed on with scant minutes left and consistently found away to give up a free kick from 25 yards. Degsi, to his credit, avoids that.
Don’t speak too soon, Degsi does have this in his locker.
That was a tough game. Saints gave it everything and their new manager has them playing really well. That was tough oppo… which makes it even better that we beat them.
Once again I am going to bemoan the officials. What do we have to do to get a pen awarded to us??? I mean come on, you only have to look wrong at a City player and the officials will not only award the pen, but equally bang it in for them… The 2 that we should have had were the Mané shove in the back as he was just about to head it first half. And Keita’s burst into the box in the 2nd half. There’s one set of rules for the rest of the league, another set for us (which is to make up stuff to not award us anything while penalising is for everything) and then there’s City who don’t have to abide to any rules.
It’s mad that big Joel has done so well in the last few months but he still terrifies me with and without of possession. Hope Gomez is back soon as the back line, especially Trent could do with his calm head for the last few.
Yes – nice that you mentioned Sadio’s tackle that wins the ball that Henderson heads to Salah for the breakout that leads to the goal
Without Manes 100% commitment that doesnt happen
I loved Mane kicking the ball away at the end when Saints were lining it for a free kick :D
Arse
The only issue with this season is I am going to have to hope for a Scum win for the 1st time ever
That just doesnt feel nice
Hopefully Spurs can make that unnecessary
But they are shite – so I am not holding my breath
Please, please, don’t stop doing it this way, you Mighty Reds!
I asked my mates in the pub yesterday: “Do you want to win it the City way, get 2 or 3 up after 20 minutes and get bored for the rest of the night? Or do you want this and have a brilliant night out every week?” They didn’t answer, but their faces said enough for me!
It’s nervy, it’s mad, it’s bloody frustrating at times. But honestly, I just don’t want us to do it any other way! I absolutely lover this crazy ride we’re on. May it continue ’til June the 1st!!!
Up the Reds!!!
Spot on Stick, I 2nd that emotion
That Mane block tackle was something else for the 2nd goal, What a warrior Mane really is!! With the quantity and quality of his goals as well, Imo surely he is the best all round player in Europe this season
Class ratings. All for the love of Mane’s tackle, Hendo’s header and Mo ….
I still can’t stop smiling today. I am running a temperature,body is aching, look like death warmed up, but I am smiling and loving the Reds. What a truly great win. To come from behind, in a stadium whose supporters are venomous and defeat them despite 3 awful officials again doing everything to rob us…. it’s great :D
Henderson was superb. Don’t stick him back as an auxiliary centre half, let the lad play, let him attack.
Fi Bruce was born in Liverpool. Best midfield is Fab,Nab,Ox, Gini;take your pick.
