Come on chaps, let's just enjoy the game for now.

Crowd is a bit quiet today. Eating prawn sandwiches for lunch? What was Klopp saying before the match?

Not much to enjoy so far!

[pinchmeimdreamin]

It's the same old problem trying to break a team down who are packing the defensive third.

Not much. Coutinho is looking very mobile though. And Firmino seems to have perked up with his mate back.

[Pommygranite]

We miss Mane and Matip

[phil_cardiff]

Not having Mane badly effects both our midfield and attack.

If we get European football next season then we'll need much more depth, either through training or transfers.

[Sargeant Orange]

No Mane = No pace

Relying on mistakes from the Swansea defence really, it's awful to watch

[pinchmeimdreamin]

Bit of a disappointing half, They came to frustrate us and it's working.

PC is not 100% and theirs not enough room between the lines for Firminho and Lallana at the moment.

[Flip Martian]

I think we're all agreed we need more depth and we miss Mane and Matip. But especially Mane. Very frustrating after the first half of the season but we're a long way from where we were last season so I'm not griping. I doubt anyone at Anfield thinks differently to most of us. If we don't buy anyone this month (and it seems unlikely) its only because the people they want aren't available.

We're still a work in progress really.

If your plan is to put 11 players behind the ball then maybe the premier league isn't for you.

Not a single shot on target 1st half!

Take off a midfielder and put on Sturridge.

I'd go three at the back and put Sturridge on.

It is a bit boring. As a travelling fan I'd be a bit peed off with that, to be honest.

[pinchmeimdreamin]

why can't we defend fking corners

[type-r]

fking inevitable. Lovren with another nervous clearance again. Why on earth did he have to concede a corner??

[pinchmeimdreamin]

they will just shut up shop now.

How do you feel about that now?


Classic tactics, and more or less proven against us.

[Flip Martian]

Same old same old. Set pieces and crap defending. Not so critical when you can score at will. But we've stopped doing that so muc.
