Liverpool V Swansea. 12:30. TV. Radio. Internet.

I started the thread for the meeting of these 3 years ago and it finished up 4-3 to Liverpool in a nerve shredding display of defensive ineptitude. Something similar today would be great. Who needs nerves anyway?

I predict 2 or 3 - 0 to the mighty not scoring as freely as they were reds.

Firmino could do with getting back on the scoresheet. 3-0.

Vicxas

I think Firmino will be back with a bang today.

Harry Palmr

Hopefully Matip will be thrown straight in as he could be needed to snuff out Llorente in particular.

On paper this is a game Sturridge should thrive in but I'd not start him I have to say - sooner go with Coutinho/Firmino/Origi

OwaynOTT

Good game be

Luap

Not on the box?

Edit: its on BT

Annoying lack of Matip....and Origi. Still at least the bench is looking better now.

Fabiański; Naughton, Fernández, Mawson, Olsson; Fer, Cork, Carroll; Routledge, Llorente, Sigurðsson

Subs:

Nordfeldt, Rangel, Amat, Fulton, Dyer, McBurnie, Bastón

He'll get 30 mins or so, start on Wednesday. Be grand.

I wouldn't mind seeing him brought on in midfield, if we're comfortable. He played DCM at Schalke, iirc, and he's a good, positive passer.

Any win will do. Liverpool to win by 1.

I very much doubt that will happen. Klopp has shown no inclination to use him there,so very unlikely to start now. He needs time in his proper position for us.

5starpool

Swansea will no doubt pick today to have their finest defensive performance of the season so far, but it'll be back to shambles next weekend again probably.

Hopefully there will be some great, incisive attacking from Liverpool today to not give Swansea a chance to get anything from the game, but those performances haven't quite happened lately. Hopefully Coutinho back will be a catalyst for a better attacking performance.

Easy win for pool here so much firepower I'd go 3 nil.

5starpool

Big news, brace yourselves!

TAA unlucky to not even make the bench for Liverpool.

Come on you redmen!

BT's coverage is unashamedly stuck in the 70's.

GreNoLi

Should score there.

5starpool

Well worked there, good chance.

Osmosis Jones

Can really scuffed that, Henderson already controlling the game, what a cross.

Is Bobby central today?

Nominally, yes. There will be a lot of swapping around though as play develops.

Its a soft comment - don't take harm. Maybe your just too PC.

I wouldn't take it seriously but it does fit with BT's typical Premier League coverage. It's even more dumbed down than Sky's.

Harry Palmr

Clyne is so free, he has to be used more.

citytillidie

That's more like quick passing trying and beat the Swansea bus

Osmosis Jones

If only!

5starpool

Getting closer now, unlucky with the overhead.

Knex*

That would have been ridiculous

BorneTobyWilde

Just too close to goal

theoneeyedman

Lallana, a poor man's Andy Carroll....

Harry Palmr

Henderson having a mare with the ball.

Half past! Damn it, missed the first quater who starts a match at half past?

Just to catch out people like you who can't spare 10 seconds in the preceding week to check the kick off time!

5starpool

Wow, escaped there.

GiftofGab

Liverpool looking comfortable so far. Only a matter of time till we break them down.

Or get caught with a sucker punch. We've fashioned a few chances, but still look a little laboured against a massed defence.

There's a game at 12:30 most Saturdays.

OwaynOTT

What ever happened to 12.45 kick offs? And excuse me for assuming things never change.

We've come close far too many times here, need to take our chances.

Yes, people who assume without checking!

Harry Palmr

Missing the pace that Mane offers and which creates doubt, Clyne is not quick enough in thought or action so far.

5starpool

Considering the height of our front players, we;re playing a disproportionate amount of crosses into the box in my opinion.

SuperTortoise

Only a matter of time before the flood gates open...

martyos121

Guess we just have to get used to teams doing this against us, not even trying to attack.
