Allens been poor, not sure what game your watching

He's made some good tackles, he's working hard and his passing has been decent when he's been higher up the pitch. That said he's playing with a team of players who don't seem to be at it, we look very blunt up front and Swansea look dangerous.

I'm commenting in the match thread about player performance so I would have though it was clear in watching the Liverpool vs. Swansea match on sky sports...are there other matches on?

I keep thinking we need to make some changes, then I look at the bench and think maybe we see how things go for another while. Moving Can to midfield and getting Henderson more forward is probably the best that we can do.

Dreadful viewing, hopefully the second half is more entertaining.

Liverpool, United, Chelsea are all horrible to watch of late. They always seem to be on tv too.

Liverpool have been great to watch for the most part in the past few months. The first real lousy performance was the last game in the FA Cup against Blackburn and unfortunately it has continued tonight.

What a pile of shìte that was. Shelvey playing well can't see anything but a Swansea win at this stage.

He's been dispossesed multiple times, and has also lost possesion with sloppy passing

Turtyturd

That Mignolet save gets better every time, it wasn't even straight at him.

Osmosis Jones

The RWB spot is a real problem without Ibe.

Rayne Wooney

Fair play to Liverpool for not giving Sterling a contract

Wouldn't pay him 5 pound a week based on his form since August

As usual,you're wrong. Allen and Mignolet are the only Liverpool players to come out of that half with any credit.

Swansea have been very good,Liverpool have been woeful. Still all to play for tho.

Wrong in your opinion

Super-Rush

Henderson very poor.

Can't pass and can't tackle because of the early yellow card.

How can Rodgers consistently criticise Balotelli so much when Sturridge is doing less tonight?

You're a dog with a bone Mick, gas stuff!

Funny I was only saying that to myself but I doubled his wages to a £10.

Sterling needs to be in front 3
He's a lost boy out there

djPSB

Is Mignolet still diving from his knees?

Harry Palmr

Did Yernited play a good game yesterday or summat?

Osmosis Jones

The usual positives after a performance like that:

We can't possibly be worse in the second half
At least we haven't conceded

Vicxas

Worst performance this year I think so far. So many slippy passes and sterling has been awful.

Heisenberg1

Can is having a woeful game.

Gbear

A few of you need to chill a bit.

We haven't been that bad.
There's a reason Swansea have had results against some relatively good teams. They're not gob****es here to make up the numbers, especially at home.

For all their "chances" I've only been worried by the Shelvey chance off the corner. Everything else has been low % or requiring a routine save from the keeper.
The reason we've conceded so few goal isn't because we unearthed 6 world class defenders. There's just always someone to tidy up, despite how open we look at times.

The difference between this year and last's defence is that we're now defending with 4 - 3 CBs + a DM rather than just 2 CBs. It shows by how we're not conceding the second someone makes a mistake.

Can and Sturridge haven't been great and Henderson seems to have been marked out of the game.

Allen has been absolutely fantastic. Why does he take a few games to play like this? It seems like we constantly write him off based on his injuries and the few games back after them, then he plays like he has the for the last few games and we think we have a player again. I just wonder how long it is until his next injury.
Mignolet has done well from set pieces. Some really decisive punches. The saves have been grand but if your keeper isn't making those, he's fit for the knackers yard.

Good comeback. Fairly put me in my place there :rolleyes:

Joe Allen has been Liverpool's best outfield player by a distance.

I beckon they're just dehydrated, throw some riverrock on them quick!

Liverpool lucky in many respects here, can't fault them that though, they're still in it regardless of their dire performance.

Nailed it.

To be 0-0 shows a certain amount of resilience that hasn't always been there in seasons past.

garra

Llama has only touched the ball 17 times, he needs to be more affectionate to the damn BALL :mad::mad::mad:

Kerrigooney

I hope they got a good bollocking at half time.

eternal

Hope there's more incentive now in second half to push forward and make some kind of impact.

mrsoundie

I've seen porn stars with small things have more penetration.

Wrong, you should hope they get a good rollicking at half time.

Osmosis Jones

No idea why that's not a foul

Invention? Impetus? I'm not sure what word you were going for but incentive certainly wasn't the right one. :P

Swansea have it sussed. A goal from them inevitable, if things don't change.

Once again, when Coutinho is off his game, the whole team play badly.

D'Agger

Better build up & passing before that was worked in, more please

garra

Much better, Sakho in particular
