Liverpool vs Swansea Post Match

[Reece]

I'm sure it's been asked already, but when is the draw for the next round?

[BigChief]

I'm glad to be through not to win the thing but to continue giving match practice of our system to the new players. Like mentioned above we're finally looking something like our old selves over the last two games.

This was Balotelli's 4th or 5th open goal chance, one he finally scored, and it all shows we're putting the right balls in and Balotelli is getting in the right areas to miss them (or score one).

Definite signs of improvement, the first real signs. Swansea are a decent side - albeit on a bad run (6 without a win I think) - and we passed the ball around really nicely.

Manquillo has to keep his place and I think Borini and Lucas did their chances of more playing time no harm at all.

Its usually straight after the final game. So I guess itll be tonight.

Yeah it's tonight, could really do with a kind one given it'll be sandwiched inbetween these fixtures.

We were kinda **** really. Dominated possession in the first half but didn't really do much with it. We are just so slow to attack & in possession. Coutinho is a quality player and could be so instrumental if he just sort out his final ball, he makes us tick but just needs to sort out that final pass. Thought Borini,Lucas,Johnson,Manquillo & Coutinho were all good. Lambert & Markovic were pretty ****. Hendo just doesn't look the same player this season.

Great for Mario to get on the scoresheet, was lovely finish too. Lovely header from Lovren too & was great for him to score the winner after the **** up for the first goal. Two unlikely but very welcome scorers. Won the game but was exactly the same performance as we've been giving wall season..apart from that last 10 mins where we went for it. High tempo, pressing & will to win, was a brilliant last 10 mins IMO.

Did you think Lovren was at fault for their goal, or do you just mean a general defensive **** up? For some odd reason Toure left the defensive line and the goal came on his side.

[Shaggy]

Anyone notice us marking zonally from set pieces? That's a new thing isn't it? Can't do any worse than the man-to-man system, especially since the likes of Lovren seems to be totally anti man marking.

Difficult december, we usually get very tricky fixtures then. Hopefully we continue to improve over the next few games though.

Manquillo does look good doesn't he.

It'll be interesting to see what happens at the weekend with Johnson, Manquillo and Moreno all available.

No doubt we'll get ****ing Chelsea away in the next round. It's only the League Cup but it's silverware. Let's win it.

i hope it is a home draw..... in reality away to chelsea would be a nightmare scenario. If we had away games to United and Chelsea before home against Arsenal, then it could be a nasty week...... home to Bournemouth or Derby please...

[Fosterbloke]

Any videos of the match or player highlights?

derby would destroy us

as bad as our defense has been this season, i am pretty sure that they would not "destroy" us.....
