Everyone’s making the same obvious joke after Manolo Gabbiadini’s cup final goals

There's been a running theme among Southampton players in recent transfer windows.

You know what it is, we know what it is, even Claude Puel surely knows what it is. Last summer, Sadio Mané joined Nathaniel Clyne, Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren in trading the south coast for Merseyside, while Rickie Lambert also made the move before his Anfield spell was cut short. So, when Manolo Gabbiadini struck twice for Puel's team to bring them back from a 2-0 deficit in the EFL Cup Final, you just knew what would follow. https://twitter.com/SkyFootball/status/835907062152384512 The goals were Gabbiadini's fourth and fifth in a Southampton shirt - not bad, seeing as it was only his third game for the club - so it's perhaps no surprise that the internet might link him with a Liverpool squad without a lethal orthodox striker. https://twitter.com/dagger_joel/status/835910725113610240 https://twitter.com/Johnny_Slack/status/835910709569597440 https://twitter.com/Baggsy22/status/835910575867691010 https://twitter.com/JamesMiller93/status/835910639629529088 https://twitter.com/SBNRenato/status/835910700593790978 And the former Napoli man wasn't the only Saints player to attract the theoretical attention of Jürgen Klopp. Jack Stephens impressed at centre-back after a shaky start, and the England Under-21 man has been earmarked as a replacement for Lovren. Only by random people on the internet, mind you. Elsewhere, Liverpool aren't even lacking when it comes to attacking midfielders, but some people seem convinced they'd be able to find a place for Nathan Redmond. https://twitter.com/KrishyB_/status/835900560427499520 https://twitter.com/JCourier1/status/835911610724143106 https://twitter.com/ScottyHall3_/status/835909261830012928 https://twitter.com/awright133/status/835909353836265473 Catch up with this week's episode of 888sport Football Friday Live
