Minute By Minute

• 101 Min
  That's all from today's match centre. Disappointing day for the Reds. Thanks for following and we'll be back after the international break for our trip to Aston Villa.
• 100 Min
  Rodgers: "We just conceded poor goals today. It's bitterly disappointing. We need to be better."
• 99 Min
  Rodgers: "Southampton deserved to win. We were nowhere near where we've been for the last couple of weeks."
• 98 Min
  Elsewhere in the Barclays Premier League today, Everton beat Man City 2-0 at Goodison in the day's early kick-off, Villa beat QPR 3-2 at home, Arsenal won 2-0 at Swansea and Stoke and West Brom played out a goalless draw
• 97 Min
  The Reds played a total of 435 passes with an accuracy rate of 74.5 per cent
• 96 Min
  The Reds saw more of the ball, however, edging the possession 52.1 per cent to 47.9 per cent
• 95 Min
  Southampton had 18 efforts on goal today to Liverpool's 10
• 93 Min
  FULL-TIME
• 90 Min
  First Booking: Luis Suarez:
• 86 Min
  Little time left but the Reds are still attacking.
• 82 Min
  Substitution: G. do Prado for A. Lallana
• 81 Min
  Substitution: J. Henderson for D. Sturridge
• 79 Min
  Southampton have their third and it's Rodriguez. He dribbled a long way with the ball, past several challenges and beat Jones at the second attempt to possibly secure three points.
• 79 Min
  GOAL! Jay Rodriguez:
• 77 Min
  Lallana should have bagged a third for Southampton, gliding clean through and facing up Jones. The midfielder tried a delicate lob which lacked power and allowed Skrtel to clear.
• 76 Min
  Decent effort from Gerrard after Coutinho and Johnson won possession at the edge of the area, but Boruc dived low to his left to save.
• 74 Min
  A corner is cleared but the ball comes back to Sturridge. The 23-year-old produces a cross-shot - Boruc collects once more.
• 72 Min
  Vicious, swinging free-kick from Gerrard is well handled by Boruc.
• 70 Min
  20 minutes remaining for the Reds to get something from St Mary's.
• 69 Min
  Now our right-back bursts forward, passing from the back and playing in Suarez, who sees a shot deflected behind.
• 67 Min
  Clyne attacks the right flank and puts a teasing ball across the six-yard box - Skrtel gets a touch and Johnson clears completely.
• 65 Min
  Good strike by the No.7 but it's too central and Boruc collects comfortably.
• 64 Min
  Suarez standing over it...
• 64 Min
  Free-kick for the Reds after Clyne downs Suarez...
• 61 Min
  @JamesPearceEcho: Suso and Henderson sent out to warm up. #LFC been better 2nd half but no sign of an equaliser.
• 59 Min
  A dangerous curling cross by Luke Shaw appears to be heading for Lallana but Enrique stretches his neck to nod behind for a corner. Excellent defensive work.
• 56 Min
  Frustration for Suarez - Lucas picks out the No.7 with a delightful pass over the top but the forward can't control and Boruc sweeps up.
• 54 Min
  Substitution: S. Davis for G. Ramirez
• 54 Min
  Sturridge takes aim from an awkward angle inside the Saints area but his attempt dribbles wide.
• 52 Min
  Lambert breaks beyond the Liverpool defence but is pushed wide and his cutback is cleared.
• 49 Min
  No goalmouth action to speak of but Liverpool have been much more purposeful since the break - Suarez coming close to breaking the offside trap on two occasions.
• 46 Min
  Rodgers makes a change for the second period, introducing Lucas Leiva for Joe Allen.
• 46 Min
  SECOND HALF
• 46 Min
  Substitution: L. Leiva for J. Allen
• 45 Min
  HALF-TIME
• 45 Min
  Perfect timing - Coutinho provides hope for the Reds after a goalmouth scramble. Sturridge's shot was blocked but the Brazilian picked his spot to reduce the arrears for Brendan Rodgers' men.
• 45 Min
  GOAL! Philippe Coutinho:
• 44 Min
  @pauldalglish: I think today's game so far highlights what a difference Lucas makes to the team.
• 44 Min
  More excellent defending from Enrique to keep Ramirez out.
• 43 Min
  Now Lallana earns a sight at goal following lovely approach play - wide.
• 42 Min
  Rodriguez, unmarked, sends a header wide.
• 39 Min
  End-to-end now and Coutinho should reduce the deficit after connecting with an accurate Johnson through ball. But, admittedly under some pressure, he shoots straight at Boruc.
• 38 Min
  Rodriguez has been sensational here and the winger is inches from a third for his team. He collected a pass, held off Skrtel and launched a low effort towards the left post which finished on the right side for Liverpool.
• 36 Min
  Close to a response from Liverpool - Downing releases Sturridge in the right channel and the striker looks to pass across goal for a teammate but Southampton recover to clear.
• 32 Min
  A second goal for the home side and a huge slice of fortune. Rickie Lambert sends a free-kick towards goal which deflects off the end of the wall and fools Jones, who was heading the other way.
• 32 Min
  GOAL! Rickie Lambert:
• 31 Min
  Substitution: J. Fonte for J. Hooiveld
• 30 Min
  Brief break in play as Hooiveld receives some treatment. A change coming it seems.
• 28 Min
  The attendance at St Mary's today is a record for Southampton - boosted, without doubt, by the vociferous travelling Kop.
• 27 Min
  Suarez penalised after Jos Hooiveld falls over. An odd decision.
• 26 Min
  60 per cent possession for the Saints and no shots from Liverpool tell the story so far.
• 25 Min
  @paul_tomkins: Been increasingly impressed with #LFC's attacking in recent months, but any team that has a real go at the Reds seems to prosper.
• 24 Min
  The Reds try to respond, but Downing and Suarez fail to combine inside the Southampton box. Better.
• 22 Min
  The hosts are really troubling Liverpool here and Jose Enrique is forced to concede a corner under heavy pressure at the back post. The Spaniard did well.
• 21 Min
  Southampton again should double their lead but the impressive Rodriguez volleys over with the goal half-gaping.
• 20 Min
  A bright spark from the Reds and very nearly a chance for Sturridge, who just can't reach Johnson's ball over the top
• 17 Min
  And the 'keeper is tested again, this time Rodriguez drilling a low strike which Jones punches away and collects.
• 15 Min
  Ramirez is enjoying a lot of space between the lines and, after working another yard, the Uruguayan stings Jones' hands.
• 14 Min
  Nice example of Philippe Coutinho's work ethic there, tracking all the way to his own goalline to prevent Clyne from crossing.
• 13 Min
  13 minutes played now and Liverpool have lacked rhythm so far, although Suarez and Sturridge are working hard to press the home defence.
• 10 Min
  And they should be 2-0 ahead after Rickie Lambert broke clear of the Reds defence with only Jones to beat but the Australian stood up well and denied the forward.
• 9 Min
  Southampton have started brightly here and now their skipper, Adam Lallana, tries his luck from the edge of the box. Over.
• 5 Min
  The Reds fall behind after a clever move by the hosts. Ramirez sends a cross to the far post which Rodriguez knocks down for the onrushing Morgan Schneiderlin to guide beyond Brad Jones.
• 5 Min
  GOAL! Morgan Schneiderlin:
• 4 Min
  Important block by Martin Skrtel to deny Jay Rodriguez before Gaston Ramirez works Brad Jones with a low effort.
• 2 Min
  Stewart Downing sends in a corner which eludes Steven Gerrard, but Glen Johnson recovers the ball and plays through Sturridge. The front-man's strike is blocked by Boruc and he was offside anyway.
• 1 Min
  Luis Suarez close to snatching a loose pass across the Saints backline in the first minute.

  “Rodgers has got you playing well of late so if we're not on our game from the off it could end up a difficult game for us. Hopefully we will settle early and if we do it will make for a decent game. I'm going for 1-1.”
• -1 Min
  We asked Southampton supporter Chris Ring where the Saints are weak and he reported: “For some reason Pochettino seems to like dropping young Luke Shaw and playing Fox and sometimes he can look a little lost. So possibly down that side if he chooses Fox.
