Swansea (Home)

[Kopite Pete]

It would be good if a midfielder made a run into the box aswell.

 

We have a winner. That's what we miss. A midfielder to get in the box.

[satansmutt]

If Henderson isn't good enough to play centre mid then he shouldn't be on the pitch.

Defensively Adam is a liability I could forgive him if he was brilliant in an attacking sense but he just average

[Brownie]

Haha this forum is absolutely mental these days.

[aRdja]

It'd be nice I reckon to have one wide player who can take a man on..

[Code]

Is Adam playing left?

 

Exactly, Henderson is not playing on the right he is central, we play like this.

 

-----------Reina

Johnson-Skrtel-Agger-Enrique

------Hendo-Lucas-Adam

--------------------Downing

------Suarez-Carroll

They've been shite away from home, but they haven't played many midfields as poor as ours

 

don't necessarily think the midfield is the main problem we always creat enough chances

[LFC 6 Times]

Big fan of Lucas but today he's been very ponderous in possession, looks like the much maligned player from 07-08 with the ball at feet.

[Elite]

We'll win this game, a strong second half will mean a 2-0 win!

[russ1979]

Haha this forum is absolutely mental these days.

 

r football has made me mental

[Red Phoenix]

The next time I see someone claim that we're due to give someone a bumming, they are going to get negged, no ifs, no buts.

 

Fuck off Saville and sell me some chains!

[Bobby Hundreds]

Id bring spearing on I'd like to see a busy midfielder with some kind of enthusiasm.

[Hades]

I expect us to score a goal early and then sit off until they equalise. Our first sub will come at the 75 monute mark and it will be Bellamy for Henderson.

[The Dude Abides]

Henderson is just as bad defensively though. People go on and on about cm being his best position, but there's very little, if any evidence that it is. And His best form for Sunderland was out wide.

[silverlining]

don't necessarily think the midfield is the main problem we always creat enough chances

 

We've been dicked in midfield time and time again.

 

Henderson is the worst Right Midfield player in the Premiership, and Lucas is one of the worst central midfield players in the Premiership.

 

Henderson needs to play centrally, or not at all, because he's a fucking embarrassment out wide.

 

Adam is a decent CM, but he can't be expected to do everything, especially as he's slower than evolution.

[russ1979]

no doubt we will go on and win by a couple

Every match especially at home we always miss a sitter at the start of the match which sets the tone for the rest of it. If could just fucking score from it, everything would be so different

[gumps]

Nice early goal in the 2nd half would be nice.

 

For us of course!

[buffaloboy]

They've been shite away from home, but they haven't played many midfields as poor as ours

 

They held out against Man City away for a long time and last week away at Wolves Swansea were 2-0 up and coasting and then 2 individual errors in 2 mins made it 2-2.

 

We never gave any newly promoted side a bumming as far as I remember. We lost to Barnsley in 1997, Ipswich in 1994, Watford in 1999, Blackpool in 2010. We are always shit against a small side at home.

[Red Phoenix]

Haha this forum is absolutely mental these days.

 

You mean there was actually a time when it wasn't? Gotta donate soon anyway, already missing the MF.

 

edit : Kuyt! Get on that one Code!

 

Ok Pantera is being played, we've got to score.

[J-V]

Whats he done do you think?

 

Not his fault by any means but I dont think he`s done anything you cant expect him to do, not once have he attacked on the outside, he always cutting inside to the crowded area, we are playing straight into their hands the way we are set up.

 

How about defending especially considering he gets fuck all cover from Henderson.

[RafaLaBamba]

Henderson's a decent player but he shouldn't play on the right. Looks so much better in the centre. Bringing off Adam and putting Henderson in the middle would benefit us. That would mean Kuyt or Bellamy can come on and provide more width. Come on reds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Newport]

The intensity of our play has been below average. If we could move the ball around quicker they'll get in trouble.

 

Downing our best man so far in my opinion.

[Delmar]

Haha this forum is absolutely mental these days.

 

Mental? That is the understatement of the century. We are playing fine, the defense and midfield are doing a good job, Swansea have exactly zero shots on target, eventually we will scote. Kuyt on, even better...

[russ1979]

thank fuck kuyts coming on

 

Its a sad day

[sir roger]

When we were doing well in the 2nd half of las season we were getting a few people into the box but Kenny seems to have changed tactics & we only ever have Carroll and Suarez at most

[Code]

Kuyt on, well at least he will stay out wide and thats what we need to stretch them and make them actually having to defend both their left and right channels.
