So to Anfield for our second Liverpool game of the year. Today felt like a turning point, with Jurgen Klopp's first PL home game at the helm, and with the clocks having changed the night before. For some bizarre reason the game was a 4:15 kick off which would mean a later than usual return. Journey across was fine, and we headed to the Walker Gallery for tea pre-match - I sound like an old man now!
There was something of a buzz around Anfield today, which made a welcome change. We headed around the back of the Centenary Stand, and to the cramped Anfield Road end, where our seats were restricted view due to the low roof. Remember the slit we had to see the West Ham game? The game was not a bad one and the Red men gradually edged their way in charge, building up some of the heavy metal football Klopp has promised. Milner was excellent as ever, creating the odd chance, and Clyne continues to be a consistent performer on the flank. Origi was poor and was replaced by Benteke on the interval. Still it remained goalless and it seemed de ja vu with Liverpool having plenty of the ball in midfield.
Suddenly they managed a breakthrough. Milner curled a fantastic cross into the box and Benteke connected with it brilliantly to make it 1-0. But this is Liverpool, and they seemed determined to make things as complicated as possible. Mane equalised when a simple cross was badly defended and Mignolet was again caught out of position. Southampton didn't perhaps deserve the draw but Liverpool had not capitalised on their possession and chances once again. We headed away from the ground in darkness and ended up walking all the way to Lime Street. Autumn is firmly upon us.
