Swansea match thread

[RedReet]

Henderson has done nothing to justify a start in the league.

Came on and helped change the game last week.

Came on and helped change the game last week.

He also has the energy to balance our midfield better. The three selected today is a better fit than most we have tried IMO. Other than Allen early in the season no one has convinced me that they should be a definite started in midfield.

I'm not surprised Henderson's starting. I thought he played one of his best games for us after coming on against Wigan. We looked much more solid in midfield, had a lot more energy and his introduction noticeably improved Allen's game. Being away from home, I think this solidity in the middle is even more important - particularly against a crafty team.

henderson is in there because gerrard doesnt have the legs anymore and allen just gets over run

[Gibbo]

Our midfield is very defensive.

Think we could get done on the counter today.

He did quite well as a sub against a team that were mentally beaten. Today he'll be starting against a team who believe they can win, different kettle of fish completely.

A win today would be huge! We'd go above Tottenham until they play West Ham later today, 2 points behind Arsenal and 3 behind Everton.

Can't believe I'm asking this but is Cole injured?

[Bender]

whats the deal with assiadi ?

Nope, he's on the bench.

[Gibbo]

Laudrup just got our tactics bang on.

Keep loads of the ball and don't create enough chances or goals, he changed it at Swansea and they now score goals.

Maybe Brendan should have a look at Swansea today.

[Mostar]

Can't believe I'm asking this but is Cole injured?

He would be if he would have started today.

He is on the bench though.

[McDermotX]

Brendan loving the attention of the Swansea ladies.

[Fredo]

whats the deal with assiadi ?

£3m fee and a 3 year contract, worth around £20k a week I think.

Niall Quinn keeps referring to Enrique as 'Enreekee'

He also says 'Jordan Henderson came here with a massive price tag, i know coz i negotiated it'
