Liverpool vs Swansea, Monday 29th December

[Mook]

Chance for us to get a run going here, hoping for an improvement from the Burnley game but I would settle for another scrappy 1-0 win.

[manwiththestick]

Hopefully we don't get terrorised by Bony.

[Mook]

If we lose, Paco made me do it.

Mook going rogue with an alternative match thread.

[Mook]

I like to think of myself as a loose cannon, a maverick, a renegade, a lone wolf.

 

A twat.

Some winnable games coming up and a lot of the teams above us playing eachother.

 

Beat Swansea and Leicester at home, then get results at Sunderland and Villa and it could all look very different.

 

Just in time for Sturridge to come back, hopefully some decent signings and reports of our demise could be premature,

 

Swansea have said they're coming to Anfield to not lose, so it's going to be one of those games. Let's put that plan back by stealing an early goal and then building on that. It's going to be bloody cold so Ive dug out my thermals, don't want my teeth chattering to disrupt my moaning.

[Nightcat]

I'm in a really really really, really, really bad mood and I just realised that our game is on tomorrow. TOMORROW!!! We're the only cunts playing tomorrow.  Someone is seriously fucking with me. All this will not end well.

[stringvest]

Oh dear.  Another innocent couple enjoying a round the world adventure on their small sailing vessel bite the dust.  

[Ginny]

I hope Can starts. He at least deserves a start doesn't he?

[an tha]

Have to win this, can close to 5 points from 4th and even though it remains a long shot we have to make ground now to set up any chance.

[Adebisi]

If we play like we did against Arsenal we should be alright. Play like we did against Burnley and they'll put a few past us. 

These are due a win against us, I think we've only outplayed them once since they got promoted and they'd rested half the team because they had a league cup final to play. 

[Denny Crane]

This is the team allegedly.

 

Mignolet – Emre Can, Škrtel, Sakho – Manquillo, Henderson, Lucas, Moreno – Lallana, Coutinho, Sterling.

[Kevin D]

I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain.

 

I hope I can make it across the border.

 

I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand.

 

I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams.

 

I hope we get beat.

[ratcatcher]

1-0 and 3 points will do me. Hopefully a good performance too.

[ZonkoVille77]

We're fucked

[JaminKibbler]

5 points from 4th if actually a real surprise. 

 

A few winnable games including a transfer window shows we can be challenging for CL by the end of January 

[xerxes]

The extra day's preparation will have helped Brendan, should be a routine victory.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

We'll destroy them 0 - 0.

[Tyler Durden]

Well given quite a few 'rivals' for top 4 dropped points and we have a chance to make up some ground I'm guessing we'll lose or draw with a fantastic performance

[ratcatcher]

Someone doesnt seem to know swansea also have had an extra day's preparation. But Im holding out for a win being the 'superfan' that I am.

 

"Under their skin"

Interesting piece.

[Pan77]

This has got 1 each written all over it. A chance to catch up on some of our 'rivals' for 4th. No chance, we'll bottle it, that's what we do.

I'm predicting a brave draw, 3-3.

[Pan77]

I'm predicting a brave draw, 3-3.

Haha, I doubt we've got 3 goals in us!

[Jairzinho]

Shelvey to get all six.
