      Pre Match: Swansea City V Liverpool (1st Oct 2016 - 12:30pm)

      Nothing worse than going into the international break without a win and definitely nothing worse than losing before a United game so this one is massive to keep our momentum going. Swansea gave City a good game and bar a dodgy penalty decision, were unlucky to lose so we can expect a tough game.

                                Karius

                Clyne   Lovren  Matip   Milner

                      Wijnaldum Henderson

                 Mane       Lallana     Coutinho

                                  Firmino


      Bring Lovren back into the team if fit but no need for any other changes obviously. The way we are playing at the moment it has to be a Reds win so I'm saying 3-1 with Firmino scoring first! COME ON REDMEN!!!  :kop5cf8koxp6: :kop5cf8koxp6: :kop5cf8koxp6:

      Dunno why but I can see a bigger score than Hull here.

      I know we've been handing out beatings but I think this might be the game where our score line actually reflects the dominance.

      I mean 8 or 9 - 1 would have been a fair score line against Hull.

      7 nil to the red men!

      Come on man only a few weeks ago we were getting beat at Burnley. I'll take a 1-0 all day long so long as we keep up momentum for Utd

      Correct. There are a few people with their head in the clouds. Think we will win as I always do but 1-0, I'd bite your hand off for it right now! :)

      I know couple good results we're on top of the world, used to take a couple trophies to achieve that at this club. Was listening to TAW tonight they're taking about being annoyed we didn't score 7,8,9 against Hull you're thinking get a f***in grip, who are we the Harlem Globetrotters?

      It borders on arrogance and disrespect saying we should be hitting teams for 6,7,8,9. We finished 8th in the league last year folks let's not get ahead of ourselves

      Same team but going for 2-1 this time. Coutinho and Mane with the goals. Hoping for more goals, but 3 points is all I really want.

      A win....any win will do me, keep that momentum going and collect another 3 points, the way we are playing oozing confidence throughout the whole team is wonderful to see, keeping my feet firmly on the ground and refusing to get carried away though, just enjoying watching the mighty reds sweeping all before them  ;D Keep it up lads !!

      Alfie, in all honesty mate,we should not be showing no team respect, we are liverpool time to change that mentality....

      Teams should be beaten like back in the day before they get of the coach...

      I think Klopp is on his way to re establishing that thought process once more...

      Oh & I'm going for a 4-1 win  ;D

      I think we will batter them,this time last year we had 4 goals from 6 games,this season we have 16 goals from 6 games,considering the tough opening away fixtures,that's an amazing turnaround,if we turn up and play our A game,Swansea will get battered.

      Well we should have hit Hull for that score.

      Why it bothers you that others want to be optimistic I'll never know, we're gonna tw*t these!

      Every game's a tough game until you're playing against 10 men and are 2-0 up.

      And this is a tougher game than Hull and Burnley for me.

      Swansea have scored 4 goals against Chelsea and Man City at home in the past few weeks - coupled with our leaky defence then you'd have to say they will get goals.  That's the main concern for me. 

      That 3-1 defeat against them in May should also spur the boss and players on to correct that result.

      But I'm optimistic we'll get more so 3-2

      Swansea is going to be a tougher opposition than Hull. No disrespect to Hull. They are a well organised side and can score and leak goals at both ends. We just have to make sure that we tighten at the back, close down the spaces in midfield and exploit their defensive weaknesses and we should come away with a win. Ain't gonna be an easy game but a close 2-1 win for the redmen.

      Big wins are all well and good, but we do need the ability to grind out 1-0 wins as these are then games that win you titles.

      Swansea when they're at home are a tough side. But I think we'll get a hard fought victory here. Possession-based teams don't like being pressed.

      They played better, against City, than the result warranted but in saying that they lack a bit of guile in attack and if City can do it... we have to as well.

      They won't be afraid to play and I fancy us by at least two clear goals to be honest.

      Or... We could quite easily keep destroying whoever we play and not need to grind out 1 - 0 wins.

      I'll go for a nice and controlled 3-0 to us. I think it will be tougher than against Hull but if we play at anything near to the same intensity then we should win fairly easily.

      Let's beat them like a rented mule.

      Actually I tipped 2-1 to us, but anyway....

      We were miserable in this fixture back in May, but 5 of the players featuring are gone from the club now, another couple injured and more down with the U23s. I remember Chirivella first and then Lucas being totally outmatched in midfield.

      Different story Saturday.
