Swansea Match Thread

[Marina]

The radio have just said Coutinho has been outstanding along with Suarez, Sterling and Sturridge

That's interesting. My French commentary kept revisiting the fact that Coutinho's been sloppy today, essentially not at the races, etc. It's not very often that English commentary is more complimentary of Liverpool than is foreign commentary

[Boogs]

None of our midfield has been outstanding!

Ok, it was John Hartson!

[JohnDoe]

You need to take a closer look at how our central midfielders are allowing Swansea midfielders to run into wide open spaces. Our defenders are not getting any support at all!

Correct. No intensity, work rate or tracking back from the midfield.

[Mattshark]

Shambles of 'team' defensive play, it's not just down to the back 4.

Aye, midfield hasn't dropped in to help close gaps.

[RichC]

Not the best of displays from us in that first half and yet we've scored 3 goals.

Defensively it's a bit of an issue but as long as we can go on and win the game we've done what's needed

[Daffy Duck]

This half:

[RichC]

Aye, midfield hasn't dropped in to help close gaps.

Midfield has been pretty poor, far too many gaps for them to move into

****in shambles of a defence

But what an attack.

If we win, I shan't care a jot.

John Hartson is Welsh so technically it is foreign commentary

[Fosterbloke]

I'd sub Coutinho for Allen and get some more control in midfield as we're a mess at the moment. At least our attack have their **** together; 3 excellent goals.

The first goal was brilliant from Sterling but the third has to be a contender for goal of the month, an excellent team goal!

We just need a bit of a rocket and a couple more goals. Let's deliver a 6-2 please.

[dom9]

Furious.

Complete lack of intensity, no tracking back from our midfield, grogginess with the ball. You'd think the season was over and there was nothing to play for. Hell, you'd think this was a pre-season match.

Flanagan, Johnson, Skrtel, Coutinho, Henderson (scored the goal but where is the energy defensively?) and Gerrard: ATROCIOUS. I'd throw Agger in there as well. Though he saved us the 3rd, he was terrible everywhere else.

Try and remember that we've scored three excellent goals and we're winning. It might cheer you up.

"Bit" of an issue!!? I'm ****ting myself again here cos of our comedic defensive capers. It undermines all our good work up top.

the OP made no mention of who the commentator actually was so I just assumed he was listening to an Englishman. My fault!

We haven't won the game and they look like scoring on every possession. We're turning this match into a coin toss.
