Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson dejected after Reds' defeat at Southampton
Liverpool turned in another abject performance on Monday night as The Reds slowly begin to lose their grip at the top of the Premier League.
Danny Ings' early strike was enough to win it for Southampton as Liverpool could only muster one shot on target in the whole game.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, a clearly disappointed Jordan Henderson discussed Liverpool's poor recent form and their uncharacteristically slow starts.
"The start didn’t help. We’re starting slow in games …
Will this be Liverpool's starting eleven to face Southampton tonight?
Liverpool travel to play Southampton tonight in the Premier League as Jürgen Klopp's side looks for its first win in three games.
Southampton are also four games without a win, as it happens. Ralph Hasenhüttl's side has struggled to find the net of late, with just one goal in those four matches for The Saints.
Klopp is without Joël Matip, Naby Keïta, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, Diogo Jota and Kostas Tsimikas for this game. It's possible that Matip, Keïta, …

Why Lallana Role Could Offer Thiago Encouragement
Jurgen Klopp sprang a surprise in the pre-season of 2018/2019 by using Adam Lallana as the deepest midfielder.
Despite the fact the Reds manager hinted at it in the press, Liverpool fans had to pick their jaws off the floor when they saw Lallana -- an attacking midfielder for all his career to date -- lining up against Lyon as the deepest midfielder in a midfield three.
Many saw it as a quirk of pre-season, as Klopp mirroring Rafael Benitez …
Will this be Liverpool's starting lineup against Southampton on Saturday?
Liverpool play Southampton this Saturday at Anfield in their final game before a two-week break. We've had a look at Jurgen Klopp's likely starting eleven for the game.
The Reds will be looking to make it 24 wins from 25 against The Saints but will have to do so without star man, Sadio Mané. Liverpool's number 10 missed the 2-0 win at West Ham on Wednesday and it's highly unlikely that he will be risked on Saturday at Anfield.

100% Liverpool Writing Their Own Script
Liverpool notched their 8th straight Premier League win of the season, their 17th in a row total and moved eight points clear at the top of the league with a late penalty against Leicester.
There was a sense of palatable relief as James Milner stepped up in the 95th minute to down Leicester and give Liverpool the three points. It was not a day where Liverpool deserved to drop points, but it increasingly looked like a day where they would.

Southampton 1-2 Liverpool: A Tactical Breakdown
Liverpool's start to the season always appeared challenging. But how Liverpool would respond to this challenge would likely be the best indicator of how well the team will perform in the coming months. Playing Southampton away from home was the first potential banana skin of the season, even more so due to the 120 minutes, Liverpool had to play against Chelsea in midweek. Nonetheless, Liverpool was expected to win, perhaps not comfortably, but win as the better side.
Whilst Liverpool …

Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com after the game, Oxlade-Chamberlain commented on all the small …
