Swansea Match Thread

[Nir.Barak]

What's Wijinaldum role on the pitch? Is he box-to-box? Holding midfielder? Deep playmaker? I can't tell

 

[willby]

Hah. Karius almost spilled that one

 

[Fabio]

Coutinho can definitely fuck off today

 

[Dreambeliever]

Countinho has been rubbish as has Milner.

Still well in this though

 

[jan]

Ref is a dick

 

[Modo]

Hendo average again. Play the ball forward damn it

 

[Leo]

Coutinho can definitely fuck off today

He's probably been out best player.
With a 4 rating.
He's trying to make something happen.

 

[jan]

The linesmen too

 

[Oncy]

Really poor half of football.
Firmino and Coutinho have been fucking awful

 

[James]

Wijinaldum Is such a nothing player.

 

[doctor_mac]

Hendo average again. Play the ball forward damn it

'Again'. Fuck off Modo with your spiteful shite. He's been excellent in most games this season.

Everyone bar Mane has been 'average'.

 

[Mystic]

Over to you Klopp, prove your worth.

 

[Modo]

Mane, Coutinho and Sturridge are the only ones trying to make stuff happen. We'll break them down soon enough.

 

[Fabio]

He's probably been out best player.
With a 4 rating.
He's trying to make something happen.

He started trying from the 30 minute. Since then he's been at the centre of every awful pass on the pitch

 

[Mystic]

Hendo average again. Play the ball forward damn it

Coutinho has been average again, fancy mentioning that?

 

[Fabio]

I still reckon Lallana is our most important player

Our midfield press has disappeared since he got injured

 

[doctor_mac]

Coutinho has been average again, fancy mentioning that?

He isn't English. He can't be average.

 

[Modo]

Coutinho has been average again, fancy mentioning that?

He's been better than Hendo.

 

[Leo]

Awful performance.
Wijnaldum a passenger again.
Henderson and Matip awful.
Clyne and Miller adding nothing in attack.
Firmino having one of his nothing goes right games.
Coutinho and Mane are trying to make something happen but still wasteful.
It's been a pure clusterfuck.

 

[Oncy]

Modo trolling you lot like a pro

 

[Fabio]

Coutinho hasn't been average, he's been full on fucking wank

 

[gkmacca]

Too slow, too predictable. Mane has great pace so he needs to use it. The only time he knocked the ball past a defender and chased it he looked great. Do it more often.

 

[doctor_mac]

This is the kind of game that makes me want to organise a hit on Modo. Can we have a paypal whip-round for it?

 

[Oncy]

Ive a feeling this gonna be a fucking frustrating 45 minutes.
We look shite, they look dogged, recipe for a shite result

 

[The Nomad]

'Again'. Fuck off Modo with your spiteful shite. He's been excellent in most games this season.

Everyone bar Mane has been 'average'.

Its not just Modo. I was also thinking the real henderson has steppefd forward again. That chip for their free kick towards the end of the half. Jesus wept. His corners aren't great either.

Big 2nd half coming up. I'd be tempted to take Wijnaldum off for Origi at half time and go 442.

 

[Leo]

He started trying from the 30 minute. Since then he's been at the centre of every awful pass on the pitch

If Sturridge actually tried to make a run in behind it could have been different.
That's the problem.
Everyone is off the pace.

 

[manwithnoname]

What a dismal performance so far. Nobody playing well at all.

Firmino taking his 'false nine' role too literally. This is our seventh Premiership game. He has failed to score in six of them so far.

 

[Fabio]

I hate them all

 

[tony]

I don't think Swansea can keep up this pressing game into the second half , we certainly can't, they must have used a lot of energy in this game. Credit to them tbf they haven't allowed us to play. But we are going to get opportunities in the second half, it is just a case of whether we will take them.

 

[Insignificance]

Poor half. To slow on the ball today. Not sure why, it is enough space compared to a lot of other games. Sloppy passing all over. Lift the head guys and let the ball do the work. The ball will never suffer from fatigue. Come on you Redmen!!!!
