"The greatest victory in the history of the greatest game." - Fuck me that is some tribute being paid right now. Goosebumps and tears. Goosebumps and tears. Thank you, Swansea.

Thank you, Swansea.

0' Liverpool get us underway

L666KOP · « **Reply #4 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:02:37 pm »

2' Liverpool giving everyone a touch.
Our youngest team since football was invented in 1992

L666KOP · « **Reply #5 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:03:54 pm »

4' Swansea working the ball nicely until they're caught offside.

L666KOP · « **Reply #6 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:06:39 pm »

5' Big day for our Captain of the day.
Possibly looking to cement a place for Thursday.
That is, if Rawk sanctions the selection.
The game has started off how you'd expect, 2 teams seemingly playing for nothing, in pouring rain.

L666KOP · « **Reply #7 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:08:24 pm »

8' Smith with a robust challenge on Routledge.
Ref has a word.
FK comes to nothing.

L666KOP · « **Reply #8 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:10:31 pm »

9' Smith brilliantly on to a long pass. Seems to lose it, then uses his pace to reclaim, cross comes to nothing unfortunately.
Ball worked back in but Daniel fires wide

L666KOP · « **Reply #9 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:11:17 pm »

Benteke even looks lethargic sat on the bench.

L666KOP · « **Reply #10 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:13:43 pm »

11' Swans work the ball well, and Siguurdsson fires straight at Ward, who gathers comfortably.
Ball back in Swans control and they win a corner.
Long range shot after the ball breaks is cleared.
Sturridge has his pocket picked and they work it to Ayew who's shot will prolly land in Anglesey tomorrow

L666KOP · « **Reply #11 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:14:55 pm »

14' We look 'lazy'.
Swans stepping it up. They prolly would have scored with a decent striker on the pitch

L666KOP · « **Reply #12 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:15:49 pm »

15' Again we lose possession, but show some urgency to chase it back to the Swansea keeper.

Over to archie.

18 - second best on the tackle and need to be a bit sharper.FK for Swansea around the box.

archie · « **Reply #14 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:17:42 pm »

18 - 3 attempts to clear and Coutinho eventually gets it away.

archie · « **Reply #15 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:20:15 pm »

20 - Decent from Coutinho. Ojo looks to take the player on but loses it in the box. Quick break from Swansea and a good block from Lovren. Corner. Floated in and Ayew scores. 1-0

archie · « **Reply #16 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:22:07 pm »

22 - Coutinho with quick feet around the box, goes down but nothing given. Sturridge gets it nicked off his toe on the edge of the box

archie · « **Reply #17 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:24:35 pm »

24 - Swansea pressing us high and getting the upper hand in the middle. We work it around the box after a deflected cross, Ibe shoots but comfortable for the goalie.

We've looked a bit lethargic so far, really hoping the goal wakes us up.

It looks like it has.

I think we've stretched our luck in midfield.

archie · « **Reply #19 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:26:13 pm »

26 - Ojo dwells on it in the middle. Swansea break, it comes in and Cork who is in acres of space has a shot. Cleared. Smith booked for a challenge on Routledge.

archie · « **Reply #20 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:27:49 pm »

27 - FK comes in and a free header from 3 yards is over the bar from Amat

29 - Stadium joins in applause and tribute to the 96.

29 - Corner after the ball is nicked off Sturridge. Skrtel gets something on it but not enough.

Wasn't expecting that. Lovely touch. Applause, standing ovation and a spontaneous YNWA. Classy. Thank you AGAIN, Swansea (and before Belshie asks, no, it wasn't in Welsh - they don't speak Welsh south of Llandod!

)

archie · « **Reply #24 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:30:11 pm »

30 - Lose it again in a dangerous area and Montero shoots. Saved by Ward.

L666KOP · « **Reply #25 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:30:15 pm »

Brilliant standing ovation and YNWA from the Liberty.

As far as the game goes, Swansea should/could be out of sight.

archie · « **Reply #26 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:31:47 pm »

32 - Swansea corner. Well cleared by Stewart. Good challenge by Clyne as Montero looks to go past him.

archie · « **Reply #27 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:32:39 pm »

34 - Swansea in the ascendancy. Cork curls in one 2-0

archie · « **Reply #28 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:33:27 pm »

Good strike but he went through unchallenged.

L666KOP · « **Reply #29 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:33:54 pm »

We're being completely dominated in midfield.
Undercover Mossad agent lookalike Kevin Stewart is having a right struggle trying to get a grip.

archie · « **Reply #30 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:35:50 pm »

We've been overrun and it doesn't look like changing before half-time. No-one went to the ball as Cork went through.

Sturridge with a great chip as Ojo puts him in. Just wide

archie · « **Reply #31 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:37:23 pm »

37 - Swansea with numbers back as we have the ball around the area. Shot from Sturridge doesn't trouble the keeper.

archie · « **Reply #32 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:38:23 pm »

39 - Clyne booked for a challenge on Montero. FK in dangerous position.

archie · « **Reply #33 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:39:26 pm »

40 - Fk drifts over heads. Ball is put back in and Montero tries an ambitious overhead kick. Easily gathered.

Shades of 2007 and those teams that sent Warnock down?

Ahh yes.
A vintage year.

Just too many young players today for me, I sort of agree with the selection policy, but think we should have had more experience.

archie · « **Reply #36 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:41:16 pm »

42 - Coutinho with a shot from the edge of the area. Deflected for a corner.

archie · « **Reply #37 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:42:06 pm »

42 - corner cleared but ref blows for a foul by Skrtel

archie · « **Reply #38 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:43:42 pm »

44 - FK in decent area for us after a foul on Coutinho.

archie · « **Reply #39 on:** May 1, 2016, 12:44:49 pm »

45 - Sturridge shots. Nothing to see here.
