The campaign around here that many expected or hoped for, but
the Improvement recently has been clear to see
Alison. Where's the Liverpool gloves today before heading to
Qatar with World Cup favorites? Brazil,
a fair few of today's cast is will join him at the tournament
Alexander Arnold and former Saint Virgil Van Dyke for
example, Joe Gomez, incidentally replaces Ibrahim
Akhenaten, the only Liverpool change
Peppino is also in the star-studded Brazil squad.
But interestingly Tiago has missed out on a place in
the Spain set up
as did Roberto firmino with Brazil
further forward though, Darwin Nunez will likely lead the line
for Uruguay as he does today for Liverpool with Masala. The
bench is where we find Southampton Academy graduate
Alex oxlade-chamberlain and James Milner
back from concussion
and ready to make his 600
Premier League appearance.
The first of Hampton liner underneath and Jones was always
going to be interesting. Particularly in terms of
formation will see how they line up very shortly. Indeed,
get over sooner, though has been the obvious choice ever
since his summer arrival playing every Premier League
game
doing a child katar replaces, the injured one Larios,
it could be a three or four of the back. Either way remain
Poirot has relish getting forward. Grabbing two goals of
lakes.
James ward-prowse missed out on Gareth Southgate. England,
squad and is paired with the recalled Romeo Loggia,
informaiton Niles today.
There's a 150th Premier League appearance for Stewart
Armstrong. He joins Jay Adams and motel your new see in
supporting the front man, who is Adam Armstrong replacing
Theo Walcott for the last week, three changes in the options on
the bench include Joe areevo. The only set hasn't played a
play every game in all competitions this season.
This fixture has
a recent times, Liverpool won the last five meetings here,
down field scoring 16 unanswered, goals in
the process.
But with chemicals in different formats that happens. Potential
for new impetus, under a new boss. There are reasons for
optimism for those who have traveled North today.
It will be interesting to see how the site set up
how they play out as well
with some, of course,
the World Cup on their mind
and certainly on their agenda
after today.
I think that's only normal, you know, and what you would expect
to these player. Something I've dreamed of as you youngsters to
go to a world clock, but they will try and give her or not
sure to be 100%. Don't say that we
fully committed where possible bucks and
for being the oldest
In at the base, Thiago, this going left, Harvey Elliott, right?
From free of Liverpool can drop in any way. So it is about. For
the Southampton is
sticking to his, task
is trying to break free in the middle and size taking
an early conversation at the very least for Simon Hooper
the referee and indeed a yellow card follows to
Fair bit of Liverpool. All presents in there for me. Now,
helps it on
The smile returns are better for me now.
After a difficult week.
Not getting into the Brazil squad for the World Cup, but
he's in on the action early here.
Liverpool Striker, Lee and southampton's task for today,
just got a whole lot tougher,
has been the goalkeeper looks back at this. He doesn't move
his species across the goal.
That's a simple ball in isn't. It's not really got a load of
pay some momentum.
But as it comes in for me no you just sits something towards
the edge of the area and since little touch don't keep back
got to move his feet. It's got to anticipate
the you just stepped left and back at the same time and at
that point
no momentum left, not able to change direction to stack
touch. Using the ball is guiding it into the far post.
And got to say, Nathan Jones have been very, very
disappointed concede. That goal
is what attracts a Hampton looking to hit back
straightaway and your new see
had to be caught and held by Allison.
Chainsaw oil, prices inviting. And it's in
Well, that didn't take long.
Che Adams it is with the instant reply for Southampton.
What a delightful ball in. It was
by James ward-prowse.
Will you just look at things in you?
Your analyzers are as a manager, what you can do
different
in Jurgen klopp won't be pleased with that one either.
But from such a wide area, you've got a Highline. We don't
let anybody through but the delivery
it tells you everything. The quality is got
and as he comes right across the city to see in the picture
there, the media off the shoulder of Gomez,
the attacking threat, the see atoms as
the arm comes at back to try and stop him, but there's not
enough. Question for me. He's got his eyes on it. She had and
all the time. Goalkeeper
touch. A difficult situation. Can't get near it.
It's a great great delivery in a wonderful header.
A lively and field start from both sides
and Southampton weren't behind for long.
Go knowing when to press one to leave it alone. This guy's on
the ball. It's not always that easy
and Jones,
raises his army water supply. It isn't
important hand raised by Persona to keep seller Acts.
I know the reasons why Ralph has a noodle ended up losing
his job
and they've come here though. Seemingly rejuvenated, all be
it
in pain, back a little here.
Nunez trying to wriggle away.
It's pretty funny that isn't it? You know when you go under
that pressure, take nearly as is gets on the shoulder.
It's a very, very good recovery. You can't touch your
Striker when you go on really tight to and that occasion,
Back in from Robertson.
Camino and Elliot again, in for Nunez. It's a beautiful boy.
It's a gorgeous, beautiful girl.
Picked a part in an instant.
You talk about quality
people with time on the ball with too many occasions. It was
coming back to the edge of the area back out wide. How many
has this much time?
The first one he gets his shot away
nothing comes of it and want to learn
about their reaction to the most solid ball comes back
across. Again
that point when he set nobody gets. She knows I love you can
see it. You wait
and it's that run off the shoulder Nunez. Fantastic
the balls. Brilliant, if you just look at the clip,
can we see it again after that finish
is very, very difficult over the head to contact
and put it into the far post,
but Elliot just stands there.
Both arms Aloft in the sky realizing he started to run
things here. Wonderful pass
Crazy to think that Javi Elliott is still just 19 years
of age.
Plenty of room to maneuver
and plenty of options, Galloping forwards,
one of them seller
and Nunez as well. And for me now,
huge stocks a tunic.
But delightful Liverpool move from the goalkeeper. Had to be
right on the money.
There's a property. Move, wasn't it earlier Elliot's
sweeping across this little run
and then the back heel
for me. Leo gets it was, you know, again,
really tight this guy. I'll be Elliott running things in
the middle of the pitch.
Great back heel, but
it's a really good save again.
Under Pressure right in front of him,
top move from Liverpool.
He is waiting and he finds it,
you know, looking to juggle it.
Robertson Salome be
pero just managed to take all the pace off the Striking.
Presume you risk more than grateful to collect.
For me, no sliding it through Robertson.
Now, Liverpool her in the mood.
Neatly worked in clinically taken.
And that's 3 in the bag with halftime approaching
the balls are so good from Liverpool. The runs the timing
of them, the weight of passes.
You've got to look at behind you. If the lines not right too
much space,
we can see disjointed. And that ball wonderful right across
the face.
The Southampton have got to go with those Runners.
That are realize the balls coming across.
Big finish and nearly as right across the front of
the goalkeeper, got no chance in those situations.
Ellicott chap.
Stuart Armstrong almost fell for Adam Armstrong and here's
Jay Adams, but the free kick is little balls and
a strike. We tried anyway.
Yes, and Van Dyke can kabini all in there for me, know, as well.
It was dipping but not quite enough. From his point of view,
Stuart Armstrong again.
I've worked it. Well,
Peru and Adam Armstrong. We never truly got hold of it.
Beautiful. Drop of the shoulder
Elliot's
in from Alexander Arnold solitaire?
having a fair bit of experience to this Southampton site held
your new see through
strong left hand of Allison doing the job for Liverpool.
Really good play. Wasn't it in Southampton.
Let's get into those areas
most
selling not hanging around
the penalty of field. Michael.
This is, he gets into this position. Hesitation not silos
away once it gets into those areas of, don't normally see
him getting
any change from anybody
when you can just see
Little bit of a pull
watching, it's on the armpit. There's not much shirt, there's
not much pulp, very volatile with a decisions.
Those it
Oh, there he goes.
It's an actress mother.
Southampton just tricked their way through
the tries to wait. And then this little one to hear. This
is a great show for me. It's already thinking it's going to
go across
all over. Van Dyke. Is there
was a purposeful header
but just off. Target
Wolcott.
Mr. Over towards Adams. What to say that is
He hides it. Well, heads it down, into the ground,
the height, not too bad for the goalkeeper, but it's still
good. Save to the right hand side is called upon. He's made
three saves and
couldn't be tested again here.
So what's Van Dyke?
Not quite,
we thought he, perhaps should have had a corner mate. Really
should have had a goal.
I was like a slow-motion wasn't. It was not loads of
place in the ball. It's just he gets his header across. It's
always drifting wide away.
The gold. Keep up.
That's it.
Plenty of positives for Nathan Jones on his Dugout debut as
said after manager. With what may look on the scoresheet,
a routine victory
for they have to work hard at times
to secure the points,
Roberto firmino.
Getting the scoring going from the home side's point of view
and a brace for Darwin Nunez as well.
Did the damage against the Saints in the end?
Chad Adams managed to grab one back along the way and
certainly at times have Hampton were awkward opponents for
Liverpool and could on another day
bagged, a few more goals.
But for the influence of Allison in between the posts,
an important three points for Liverpool
many now head off
into the footballing horizon.
To take part in the World Cup, in Qatar,
those of a Liverpool persuasion
with a smile firmly on their face.
Liverpool 3,
Southampton one.
