Liverpool v Swansea Match Thread

[tombrown]

We need the goal scoring machine that is Lucas

 

[hmmmmm1]

Awful first half. Need a kick up the arse at half time and a signing or 2 before the window closes. otherwise it could be a long second half of the season. Players looked tired and lost

 

[mom]

WE NEEDS A PLAN B!

 

[darkstarexodus]

Teams are so wary of coutinho coming inside to shoot now

Amazing it's taken this long really

 

[Squiggles]

We need Sturridge on. It's mostly attack versus defense. Sub off Klaven for a striker.

 

[mark1975]

Typically flat, as we've seen of late. Henderson has paid a few good passes, but for every one, he's played about three terrible ones straight to Swansea. Lallana, Firmino and Coutinho are all doing ok, but the whole "false 9" thing looks pointless with no way of stretching a stubborn side. Swansea have got men behind the ball quickly when we're in possession, but they've also pressed high when they've had the ball, which is crying out for someone to be up there for the likes of Coutinho and Lallana to play an early ball into the channels for.

The Klavan card might be a blessing for Klopp, because I think he'll be inclined to put Matip on soon. Despite their recent woes, I'd be looking to get Sturridge or Origi on here for one of the midfield, drop Lallana deeper where he's had his most success.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Well that was rather dull. Swansea are content to sit back and we are missing that bit of quality needed to penetrate. Lots of nice touches but never the final one.

 

[rurikbird]

Swansea are well-drilled, this is difficult. Need to have a moment of inspiration from someone to open them up. Coutinho, Firmino and Lallana have been probing, but no luck just yet. Maybe Matip can do something if he comes on?

 

[doctor_mac]

I'd bring Studge on.

 

[Gary25]

Look so one paced without Mane...who knew

 

[ibromurph]

I'd bring Studge or Origi on for Can. Move Lallana back into midfield. I prefer the balance with him there.

We're taking far too many touches in the midfield and not playing forward quick enough (especially from the back).

 

[Insignificance]

Pre match thread was 10 x the entertainment than the match itself!

 

[mom]

Matip in, as he's better than Klavan and tall enough to seriously threaten in the air. Also studge on for anyone. Please

 

[Pesam]

In one month we've gone from being the most entertaining team in the league to the most boring.

 

[Squiggles]

The problem here is Klopp makes changes too late. We need changes at half time.

 

[mark1975]

That touch map for Firmino is ridiculous, shows how hard he works and exactly why we're struggling to score. As everyone has said, take a midfielder off and get a striker on.

 

[mark1975]

The problem here is Klopp makes changes too late. We need changes at half time.

Yup, he seems intent on always making his original gameplan work, by making tweaks to the system instead. It's worked alot too, but sometimes the problems are too obvious. We need to change it, early.

 

[Frogfish]

Can has been shite. Bring on Ojo as we are not doing anywhere near enough down the wings, damn just noticed he's not on the bench - we're fucked then, dropping Lallana into midfield.

Masses of individual errors too, from Henderson to Coutinho to Lallana to Clyne to .....

 

[Dreambeliever]

Don't worrry lads we have the best attack in the league and don't need any new attacking players.

Fuck me against arguably the worst defense in the league we are struggling to break them down.

Too narrow and too predictable.

Get Sturridge on

 

[Hansern]

WTF Lovren

 

[FoxForceFive]

Oh FFS.

 

[DHSC]

Zzzz

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

Comical. 0-1. Llorente.

 

[Hansern]

Knew it when Lovren fucked up the header

 

[FoxForceFive]

That was utterly dreadful defending.

 

[manwithnoname]

Lorente scores

How predictable

Will Klopp finally make some fucking changes?

 

[doctor_mac]

Fuck

 

[Dreambeliever]

Fuck off Jesus that's poor

 

[Holle]

This is so fucking us.

 

[mark1975]

Wake the fuck up Klopp.
