0' - Kickoff and the ball ends up in the Swansea keepers hands within the first minute. Ball is launched out, runs free for a bit and now it's back into what has become a familiar red pattern.

3' - Lallana with a gut busting run down the right but there's just too much on it. Swansea with 30s of sustained possession, Lovren clears. Swans are playing a fairly high line. Cross comes in from the right and Borja fluffs the header. Commentator reckon Karius put him off

Rush 82 · « **Reply #3 on:** October 1, 2016, 12:38:00 pm »

7' - Goal for Swansea. Clyne outjumped at the back post from a corner.

Poor defending.

Swansea 1 - Liverpool 0

8' - Lallana with a shot from outside the box in attempt to riposte immediately but pulls it wide.

Time for Liverpool to be patient

10' - Mane with a run down the right, chips the ball into the box but Swansea head it safely into the keeper's hands.

(9 Premier League games now without a clean sheet)

Rush 82 · « **Reply #6 on:** October 1, 2016, 12:44:09 pm »

13' - Horrible play at the back from us. Sloppy kick from Karius. Half chance for the Swans

Rush 82 · « **Reply #7 on:** October 1, 2016, 12:45:21 pm »

14' - Excellent pass from Couthinho but can't beat the offside trap. Firmino flagged.

Pitch appears to be quite greasy, more than one player has slipped.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #8 on:** October 1, 2016, 12:48:53 pm »

17' - Lallana's taken a little knock and stays down. A minute of injury time sure to be added.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #9 on:** October 1, 2016, 12:49:55 pm »

19' - Lallana not happy. Lallana off down the tunnel and we play with 10 for the time being.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 1, 2016, 12:51:54 pm »

20' - Cork breaks the line and gets a tiny touch onto it. Lovren lost his man there. Karius collects but that looked most unconvincing. Sturridge ready to come on. Commentators blathering on about being ready, etc.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 1, 2016, 12:52:58 pm »

22' - Sturridge on.

Roberto looks like he's having one of those games

Rush 82 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 1, 2016, 12:53:46 pm »

23' - Wij with a neat ball through to Sturridge but Swansea's high line catches him offside.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #13 on:** October 1, 2016, 12:55:41 pm »

24' - Sustained aerial ping pong end with Lovren whacking it into a Swan. Hendo receives a Yellow for a pullback on a Swansea player.

And a very dangerous FK - Borja was offside but not flagged - fortunately he missed.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 1, 2016, 12:57:16 pm »

26' - Coutinho with a good thread through the middle but then takes the wrong option. He had Sturridge on his right who was free and clear.

Sunshine and rain at the moment.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #15 on:** October 1, 2016, 12:59:54 pm »

28' - Mane with some superb holdup in the penalty area but Swansea have too many bodies in there and he can't fight his way through.

We are a shade off our game and it shows. Lovren appears to be a bit rusty.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 1, 2016, 01:00:55 pm »

Handover to justshorn

Maybe our luck will change.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #17 on:** October 1, 2016, 01:03:33 pm »

No shot on target from us yet

justsean · « **Reply #18 on:** October 1, 2016, 01:03:49 pm »

33 - a lot of misplaced passes from our midfield into our front 3. One from cou pinko just now.

Swansea keeper has had nothing to do yet

justsean · « **Reply #19 on:** October 1, 2016, 01:05:38 pm »

35 - better from the Reds. Clyne played into space in the right side of the box. His cross is blocked and out for s corner. Lovrens shot from the corner is blocked and swans clear

Rush 82 · « **Reply #20 on:** October 1, 2016, 01:06:59 pm »

That high Karius position certainly is a joy to behold - it enabled us to get moving really quickly there.

Everyone's timing is just that little bit off making us look disjointed and leggy.

justsean · « **Reply #21 on:** October 1, 2016, 01:07:07 pm »

37 - Liverpool have 5 men in the box. Sturridge is on the byline and floats the ball across the box. Swansea clear but that was another decent chance for us.

justsean · « **Reply #22 on:** October 1, 2016, 01:09:18 pm »

39 - Sturridge yellow carded for simulation in the box. On first viewing I thought it was a definite pen. Replays look a bit like it might have been a very soft one had we got it.

justsean · « **Reply #23 on:** October 1, 2016, 01:10:32 pm »

40 Amat blocks a shot in the box from Mane. Brilliant last ditch block to be fair. Corner comes to nothing

Agree. Sturridge is better than that - should have tried to stay up and do something with the ball.

Shades of the Liverpool we've watched since Burnley starting to emerge.

justsean · « **Reply #26 on:** October 1, 2016, 01:11:35 pm »

41 - corner. Mane does well to win one for us with his pace

justsean · « **Reply #27 on:** October 1, 2016, 01:12:09 pm »

42 - should score from it. Another shot blocked. Keeper gathers

justsean · « **Reply #28 on:** October 1, 2016, 01:14:06 pm »

43 - mane gets in behind Swansea defence again. His pull back is touched away from a Liverpool player and Swansea break away. Wiji gives a free kick 30 yards out.

Sigurdsson shoots and karius saves.

These have been going in the last couple of weeks - today they're all just slightly off.

Patience is the key, the goals will come from us.

That casual little juggle was...interesting...

45 - Sturridge gets away from his man and wins a corner. Liverpools 5th of the half I think.

Hendo takes it and leroy fer clears.

2 mins of added time announced

Crimson_Tank · « **Reply #32 on:** October 1, 2016, 01:15:50 pm »

We still seem sluggish and off, perhaps we can regroup at the half and put these to the test, I think they will fold and that their legs will be gone sooner rather then later.

Half time 1-0

justsean · « **Reply #34 on:** October 1, 2016, 01:34:33 pm »

47 - Clyne with a good cross into the box from the by line. Sturridge's 1st touch is bad - out for a goal kick

justsean · « **Reply #35 on:** October 1, 2016, 01:36:20 pm »

49 - Sturridge and Mane link up well. Mane beats the keeper but it's cleared off the line by Swansea

justsean · « **Reply #36 on:** October 1, 2016, 01:41:35 pm »

54 - yellow card for Leon Britton for a cynical pull on mane outside the box.

Coutinho takes the resulting free kick and it hits the wall.

Firmino then scores from follow up cross in by hendo

1-1 !!!!!!!!!!

'54 - Foul on Mane, free kick from outside the box, Coutinho shoots and hits the defenders, Hendo takes the rebound puts it back in and Firmino heads it it..... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!

1-1

Linesman nearly put his flag up for Firmino's goal... Keep was blinded by Bobby Dazzlers chompers.

justsean · « **Reply #39 on:** October 1, 2016, 01:44:00 pm »

57 - another good chance for the Reds. Pull back from Clyne is cleared by Swansea. Then from the resulting throw in mane has a shot on target saved by fabianski
