22nd Jan PL, The Swans better Duck, the Liver Birds are in town. Swansea v Liverpool

[Lurtz]

Fuck sake Mane

[Captain]

I guess a rout is out of the question then!

[jsjazz]

Hmmm. Based on that 45 minutes it doesn't look like the decision to sell our most creative player in January was necessarily the right one.

Oh well, lets hope we can turn it around second half.

[Grinch]

Shit half of football.

 

I don't know what Klopp's going to do to change this cause the simple fact is he doesn't have the squad to break teams down consistently any more,

 

VERY FUCKING PREDICTABLE.

[Funkasy]

We have allready created 2 chances that should have been converted and 1 half chance, cant blame all this mess on the back as we usually can.

[Thoth]

Bring on Couti.... errr Lallana

[Ben Sherman]

Might as well play with 10 men away from home when Winjaldum's on, Both full backs have been awful. We will win 2-1.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

I think there is going to be a need to invest in a Coutinho replacement before the end of the window or failure to unlock defences of this nature is going to result in failure to qualify for the CL.

 

Don't say that around here. We're going to wait until summer 2025 because there's only one player Klopp wants and is available and he is currently still in high school.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Reduced the intensity of our pressing, and no urgency on the ball and we’re immediately reduced to a very ordinary team.

[G Richards]

Mane could have sent us in level there.

 

Right, lay into them at halftime Jurgen. The whole team needs to be much better.

 

We’ve got a decent record of bouncing back this season. This one is still well in our grasp, but we have to come out much better.

 

I can see the sense in TAA for Gomez in games like this.

Wijnaldum is absent.

Not seen enough of AOC apart from on dead balls.

Mane been decent, Mo been below par, as has Firmino.

 

It’s not clicking. We have a couple of gears to move up. We will have to if we want three points.

 

Come on you reds.

[Ranxerox]

Not sure why so many are fuming it's a completely predictable performance from this group.The only thing missing is Henderson pointing.

 

TAA for Gomes and Lallana for Windmill and we might nick a 2-1 win.

[Lurtz]

Rocket up their arses please Jurgen. Remind this shower of twats who they play for.

[joe_fishfish]

Looks like our lads have spent a week jacking each other off over the City result.

[Thoth]

Gomez needs taking out for a few games and give TAA a chance

[El Rojo]

Not half the intensity shown that we did last week for a game with the same number of points at stake.

[Manny]

Sick of this shit. Fuck off swansea and most the rest of this cowardly cunt league. “Ooh we’d be delighted with a 0-0, maybe we can sneak it with a fucking set piece.”

 

Aye, I know we should know what to expect but it’s game after game, desperately passing the ball into tiny corridors of one yard because there’s fucking legs everywhere, and pundits telling us how hard it is to pull off when it’s basically just space-blocking.

 

Into these second half, Reds.

[dockers_strike]

We are too slow in that first half and some really wasteful possession did not help.We have had an extra rest day but look off the pace. Gomezs balls have been woeful all night. Bobbys hardly been in the game. Mos touch is wayward as is Mane who should have scored just before the final whistle. Not sure why Matip is going forward so much because he gets a nose bleed every time he goes over the half way line and just gets in everyones way. Think we are going to struggle here now they have the first goal as they are just going to play more of the same in the second half. More urgency more accuracy and more shots on target please for gods sake.

[Jairzinho]

A half of pure 100 carrot aids.

[J-V]

At least Karius dived

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Too slow with the ball and very sloppy passing and touch. Firmino, Can, Wijnaldum and Gomez have all been poor.

[G Richards]

Mane’s left foot slipped as he was setting himself to shoot. Just saw a replay.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

One of the main problems is our entire midfield is more suited to huffing and puffing against good teams that try to play. Against teams that sit back they have very little to offer.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Man on the post would stop that goal.

[Grinch]

Not half the intensity shown that we did last week for a game with the same number of points at stake.

 

Got nothing to do with intensity.  City left space for us to exploit, let our average midfielders do what they're good at (run and harass.) 

 

Swansea have asked us to break them down and since we've no one capable of doing so, you see what you see.  A front three starved of the ball, three pointless midfielders & two pointless full backs,

 

We've seen this story before a thousand times.

[stringvest]

It's a slow start, and no mistake.  Patience is a virtue.  Wetting the bed isn't.
