Topic: Preview Swansea City v Liverpool - Sun 25th November 1.30pm

[ScottyBoy_21]

Would make sense if we play the formation we've done recently. Widsom out, Johnson moves from LB to RB and Downing replaces Johnson. Enrique stays higher up on the left.

[DG]

Suso shouldn't be starting league games IMO. Much more effective as an impact player & Wigan had too much control of midfield with Suso playing centrally. Imagine what Swansea at home would do.

Although I do not specifically disagree with you, Wigan and Swansea play two completely opposite systems. 4-3-3 and 3-4-3 are not even remotely similar, and they can't be compared.

[Joseph-Immanuel Queen]

Twitter rumours saying downing at LB??

Where's your betting slip?

^ I got the impression that people didn't care about it so I dropped the discussion of it. If you're so desperate to see it, PM me and I will get a picture for you. Don't know why it's such a big deal.

[Raz]

Don't know why we're not going with Allen, Shelvey and Henderson as the midfield three, and Stevie, Sterling and Suarez up top. That'd be very effective IMO.

[juan1001]

£500 on Swansea to win (draw no bet) returns £1250.

Will have to contemplate it.

You just know that if you do it, we will win, and if you don't we will draw or lose. So if we don't win, it's on you.

[mkferdy]

Surely people have learnt about twitter rumours by now! How many times has a team sheet on twitter been wrong!

Now I have said that I would expect it to be correct

You brought the whole thing up in the first place ffs then backtracked on your own 'i'd be willing to...' bullshit

Just find it a bit odd really. Some people normally have a small wager against us as a way of cushioning the blow slightly should we lose. Not going massive like you, it's like you want us to lose.

[88_RED]

Would love to see:

                        Pepe
               Skrtel      Agger
Wisdom                           Johnson
         Henderson      Allen
                      Gerrard

Sterling                         Enrique
                     Suarez

[motisingh]

What's everyones hopes for Luis' celebration today?

I'm thinking he runs up to Williams, pretends to read a book, makes a sad sarcastic face (with the expression of boohoo) and then pretends to wipe his arse with the book

Thats a bit harsh, maybe he is loaded and its not a huge amount of money for him. Maybe he just feels we wont win and its quite a safe bet.

I had a bet last night on Hatton getting knocked out, I didn't want Ricky to lose but felt it was a sensible bet.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves

[Dar]

So that'd be:

Reina
Johnson - Skrtel - Agger - Enrique
Allen - Henderson
Sterling - Gerrard - Assaidi
Suarez

Can't see it. Assaidi didn't do much vs YB.

Assaidi needs a run of games, think he is a better option than Suso on the wing

[mkferdy]

Would rather Enrique plays Lb for this one. I would be concerned with Downing coping with Dyer running at him.

[Dar]

Will the pitch be ok to play on? I know its always pissing down in Swansea, but it must have took a hammering the last couple of days.

[CognacBut]

Been a long time coming if Assaidi does start his fist game in the league, considering he's been impressive in all his starts in the cups.

[CognacBut]

Ooooops, that wasn't meant for here 

[Fiasco]

Oh no I see your point, but he's banging on about it like he's trying to stir some reaction out of people.

[gjr1]

Quietly confident.s

[mkferdy]

Yeah I know what you mean, it wasn't the thread to be posting that anyways as you rightly say it was always going to get a reaction.

[Mal]

Apparently we're 11/10 for this game. Balls to that, it's gonna be a difficult match. One we have to win really to show some progress.

[Caffeine]

I like the sound of the rumoured team, with Gerrard ahead of Allen and Henderson, Enrique at LB (assuming Wisdom is out) and Assaidi starting. He did well in the first half v Young Boys but faded once we stopped getting the ball to him.

#lfc team I'm hearing is different to the one doing the rounds on here. As always, follow @LFC for confirmed team news first.

Hopefully it's not the one that has Downing at left back.

I can't remember the last time that wasn't said before a game, only to find out the rumoured XI is correct. I'm starting to wonder what rumours these guys are hearing.

[lfcbob]

We can let it Slide Away

Last week! The twitter rumours were all of Assaidi starting against Wigan.

[Narwin Dunez]

Been a long time coming if Assaidi does start his fist game in the league, considering he's been impressive in all his starts in the cups.

Its how we should look at every twitter rumour isn't it?

[lfcbob]

#lfc confirmed v Swansea: Reina, Johnson, Enrique, Skrtel, Agger, Allen, Henderson, Gerrard, Downing, Sterling, Suarez.

[DutchRed]

Some might say Skrtel and Agger are a wonderwall bound to live forever.

[Joseph-Immanuel Queen]

#lfc confirmed v Swansea: Reina, Johnson, Enrique, Skrtel, Agger, Allen, Henderson, Gerrard, Downing, Sterling, Suarez.

[Paullfc95]

Assaidi not even on bench.

[lfcbob]

Assaidi not even made bench

[Joseph-Immanuel Queen]

#LFC subs: Jones, Carragher, Coates, Suso, Shelvey, Cole, Sahin.

[Tom_B]

Really happy Henderson is getting a start today. Interesting that Downing is in ahead of Suso though.

[youll never walk alone it]

big game for henderson this, big game for us too of course, 3 points would be huge,  i dont see it though, an dont get on my back for saying that id be delighted with 3 points, come on red men.

[Jonjo Legend]

Was looking forward to seeing José in an advanced role again but if that means Downing in the team then it's probably best we put that tactic on ice for today.

EDIT: Just seen that Downing is actually in the team. Best of luck to him.

[Zlen]

Yummy..
