Don't understand why Suso isn't starting in a central midfield role tonight. It's his best position, by far, and he would boss the game with Allen alongside.He won't be tired from the weekend, only played a half.Why rest Suso just to start him in a position that doesn't suit his strengths?Assuming BR wants the Shelvy steel in there.
LINE-UPS - Liverpool v Swansea (20:00 GMT)Liverpool: Jones, Henderson, Carragher, Coates, Robinson, Allen, Shelvey, Downing, Cole, Assaidi, Yesil. Subs: Ward, Suarez, Gerrard, Fernandez Saez, Sterling, Skrtel, Wisdom.Swansea: Tremmel, Chico, Richards, Williams, Tiendalli, Hernandez, Britton, Ki, Dyer, de Guzman, Michu. Subs: Cornell, Graham, Routledge, Monk, Shechter, Agustien, Davies.Referee: Lee Probert (Wiltshire)
I never single out players for criticism - but there's no need tonight, because we were uniformly awful.
Swansea fans seem very confident of turning us over quite easily tonight.
Allen, Shelvey and Cole in midfield?
Not got a problem with that. Shelvey hasn't been this goalscoring midfielder BR hope for as yet. So lets try Cole there.
And that is why Fitzy is the true GOAT.
Cry more you big fanny
