Liverpool - Swansea match thread

Yup. And a doff of the cap in the direction of Can - a great performance so far.

He's looked perfect there and his calmness and distribution is such a welcome sight.

Not great. But very promising. I like him.

Shelvey is a very lucky boy.

[Maxiedge]

Still have some confidence issues but the work rate has been great, mostly.

[Bender]

Thing about Can is he's very calm and assured not rushed into making a pass....overall we have played well

[McDermotX]

most balanced half of the season. Solid at the back, controlling the midfield and dangerous going forward. Really hope we can keep it up and get a second.

This.

Would like to see more of Sterling on the ball.

Can is doing what we bought Lovren to do. Bringing the ball out from the back with supreme confidence. Also able to ping it long. Wonderful to watch. Unlike Lovren, he also has a bit of pace on him.

I hope cans calmess spreads through the defence

[Norbs]

They're getting in to this game

The perfect anti-mock

Did some marshalling of the back line too which was encouraging to see.

The new Beckenbauer.

At some point they'll have to push up & then hopefully we will see Raheem in behind.

What Sterling must not do is get frustrated & drop deep looking for the ball. Allows Swansea to press higher with no worry of a ball in behind.

Did well to shield Jonjo when he got elbowed. Defending will come into question later on in the game methinks and we'll see if he has the answers.

He's been very quiet alright. I'd like for the balls into sterling to be around the back of the defence or down the channels. These ball's into his feet are bread and butter for carthorses like Williams.

[poorscousertommy]

Sterling is terrible at hold up play with his back to goal. Lost it every time tonight.
