Dear oh dear oh dear. Same old mistakes of not dealing with a second ball for their goal and playing turgid possession football in front of a parked bus. Was always a worry we'd get complacent and throw in a stinker after the City game. Massive 45 minutes coming up now, Swansea aren't going to just roll over for us and we aren't doing nearly enough at the moment. Play like that again in the second half and we aren't scoring.

We've been hopeless and look like we can't be bothered, fuckers didn't deserve their lead either but that's what we do. Look like world beater against better sides then play garbage against relegation teams. It's as if Spurs' match yesterday changed our mindset and we were playing as if draw would be perfectly ok for us.

2 yellow cards in the last minute was annoying as well.

That was a shocking half. Really poor attitude, completely unfocused, the number of shit passes and mis controls was crazy.

Need to wake up and turn it round like we did there last season.

Also this ref is utter shit. Fer could easily be off for 2 bookings yet has none. Naturally ours get booked as soon as they foul.

Bottom line, this is still very winnable but we have to show far more quality and penetration. Very casual and lacking focus and directness in the final third. One piece of quality at the end of the half and Mane probably should have done better, but summed up our half really.
We still win this.

Caligula? · « **Reply #6 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:48:30 pm »

Great, we've given them exactly what they've wanted. They can just sit back now and frustrate us. Are Mane, Firmino and Salah playing? Mane has been shocking. Rocket up the arse at half time required from Klopp. We've been poor. You don't win matches by just knocking it around in midfield.

Libertine · « **Reply #7 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:48:30 pm »

Haven't seen us play this sloppily in quite a while.

No sharpness, little intensity.

Can't expect players to be 100% all the time, but this is where lack of depth may prove telling. Not too many game changers on the bench.

bornandbRED · « **Reply #8 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:48:36 pm »

Don't worry, got plenty of options on the bench to change thin... oh.

Mini Soda Scousephile · « **Reply #9 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:48:38 pm »

40 minutes of "No worries, we have this thing completely under control."
Followed by "Oh darn, maybe we should have scored during that time."

Keita Success · « **Reply #10 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:48:42 pm »

We've come back from worse against better. We'll have these.

SweetLeftFoot · « **Reply #11 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:48:42 pm »

Same old shite. Going to be one of those days.

J-Mc- · « **Reply #12 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:48:46 pm »

Completely static in midfield and upfront, Swansea have done well to cut off the space and narrow the pitch up.

No creativity from Midfield either.

Nick110581 · « **Reply #13 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:48:51 pm »

Terrible.

Need to show some bottle now.

sms1986 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:48:53 pm »

I know the usual suspects will be rushing into here to knee jerk, but it's half-time and I don't see them being able to defend their undeserved lead for long. We'll be better in the second half.

stevensr123 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:48:54 pm »

fucking terrible. At least me can bring on the likes of Ings and Solanke to try and change the game.

OneTouchFooty · « **Reply #16 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:48:56 pm »

Why do fucking dog shit teams always just need one fucking shot on target to score against us!!??

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:00 pm »

Anyone else want to defend on set pieces or should we just leave it to Virgil?

Embarrassing performance so far, getting outfought for almost everything

Caston · « **Reply #18 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:00 pm »

Still time to turn it around... players need a rocket up their backsides

Motty · « **Reply #19 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:02 pm »

Just not with so far tonight, should definitely have 1 goal to our name though and shouldn't of conceded.

robertobaggio37 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:06 pm »

I guess we're due a loss but not like this fucking hell we've been pathetic

smicer07 · « **Reply #21 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:09 pm »

These are fucking embarrassing, sitting back at home. Hoping they're tire from all the boring defending they're doing.

jepovic · « **Reply #22 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:10 pm »

Yeah, Coutinho won't be missed when we have Gini and Ox.

SlowRap · « **Reply #23 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:11 pm »

look asleep and out of ideas

... · « **Reply #24 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:11 pm »

We've done nothing, look like we can't be arsed and haven't got a clue.

Just like the first Everton game when they had 1 shot and it ended 1-1.. come on lads

Zaffarious · « **Reply #25 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:15 pm »

thats what you get for being passive as hell in posession... and we could easily have had 2 goals. poor by us. they are bottom of the league, commit some men forward for gods sake.

as for the swansea goal, 5 players going for 1 header?? is nobody talking to anyone in the box??

Upinsmoke · « **Reply #26 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:16 pm »

Same culprits when we play deep lying teams. Can and Wijnaldum like they are running in mud. Gomez can't offer anything in an attacking sense.

lol

beat the eventual champs and lose to relegation threatened team

only half time though. and we definitely have goals in our front three.

Snusmumriken · « **Reply #28 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:20 pm »

Well, a story as old as time isn't it? Dominating without really clicking or being clinical when the chances come. You just now that if we give them half a chance they'll be as clinical as they come and bite our whole arm off.

kennedy81 · « **Reply #29 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:20 pm »

Christ, how many times have I seen us concede that same goal.

Need to up our game here.

perspectiveplease · « **Reply #30 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:21 pm »

Look at everybody paste their pre prepared paragraphs.

Relax. We'll turn it on in the second half.

Swansea have played well and deservedly lead at half-time. Everything going for them right now.

We look a little asleep right now but a quick talk from Klopp and an early goal and we can win this.

S · « **Reply #33 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:23 pm »

Going to be very tricky from here. We’ve been awful. One of those days, it happens.

lessthanmatt · « **Reply #34 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:24 pm »

Gomez, WOOF. Wake up lad. All the other players following suit.

Reactions to the second ball were sloth-like

I could have done better with those volleys than Mané and Salah

daj79 · « **Reply #35 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:24 pm »

Worst first half of the season that. We’ll still win though, hopefully Lallana comes on sooner rather than later.

Gomez needs to sit out the next few games.

Garnier · « **Reply #36 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:29 pm »

We're better than this. Big 45 coming up, hopefully the lads sort it out

vallapureddy · « **Reply #37 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:32 pm »

no Intensity and we can never play the game slowly...What's with Swansea being 20th position and win against us..too much lethargy in the team at the moment..

OOS · « **Reply #38 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:40 pm »

Gomez has been dreadful, out of sync of this game. Midfield not being creative enough to beat down this defence. Wijnaldum disappearing away from home again. Lallana for him can't come quick enough.

Studgotelli · « **Reply #39 on:** January 22, 2018, 08:49:44 pm »

Predictable Liverpool that. In the first 5 mins it had the air of “one of those days”

Ox and Gomez have been dreadful. These are the games we need a Coutinho replacement. Get Lallana on for someone and drag this game back.

Can’t be letting this shite beat us FFS!
