      We need to WIn this to close the gap. Our game is the first game for this weekend. Win and we are 4 points behind the leader.

      Put the pressure to them.

      Come on you reds.

      I really feel that without a run of games, we will not see the best of Sturridge and I'd start him here. Swansea are thee for the taking and I'm expecting a very comprehensive win!

      I would start Gomez instead of Klaven and Sturridge on the right ahead of Origi. The rest of the team picks itself.

      Swansea are not a team known for parking the bus, they have leaked so many goals. We should get a nice victory over them.

      I think our days of hammering teams are gone for now. We have a lot of our forward line out of form and that puts pressure on the returning Coutinho.

      Any win will do here.

      I'm just so happy Couts is back,
      Just wrap him in cotton wool between games.

      If Clyne is back then the back line picks itself although will be looking out tomorrow what FIFA have to say re the Matip situation.

      I doubt Origi will start having played the full 90mins and too be fair has looked off it the last few games.

      Hopefully Sturridge was withdrawn early saving him for the Swans, ideally I would like to see Couts left, Danny through the middle and Bobby on the right.

      But got a feeling we might see Lallana out on the right as in the last few games which would be a shame as he is far more valuable to us in midfield.
      A midfield of Hendo, Can and Gini is not the most creative!

      F**k that mate. 

      Get Lallana back in midfield, get Ojo on to replace Mane's pace.  Minus Mane we're back to full strength, if not match fitness, so just replace pace with pace.

      We've tried the swapping and changing of players positions filling in and it's unsettled our balance, fluidity and system, just go back to what we do best.

      Yeah..would rather fit Ojo up there and have the manger just tell him to run down the touchline as fast as you can then keep putting Lallana up top.

      I would leave Lallana in the midfield because he was on fire there. Come on Reds, let get back to where we were.

      Mignolet; Clyne (if fit), Matip (if Fifa/Cameroon have stopped being tw*ts), Lovren, Milner; Hendo, Gini, Lallana; Ojo, Firmino, Coutinho.

      Need to get Lallana and Firmino back into the positions where they do their best work.

      Early start for me for the trip on Saturday up to Anfield, and the first of four home games on the trot  ;D Should be a formality but you can never take anything for granted in this league so I'm sure Jürgen will be giving the lads a good talking to.

      After a few games with very few goals, be nice to get back on the scoring trail and hit a hatful....come on lads let's do this !!

      Taken the day off work for this so it had better be a good one with plenty of goals and 3 points.

      Actually 3 points will do, although I'd guess after last night that won't be enough for many, many of our fans  :mad:

      Yeah I like that, I think Ojo deserves a chance and I'd expect him to work his bollocks off which is what we need.

      Coutinho might well be the missing ingredient, but there is a lot of pressure and expectancy on him to be that man. For sure he can do it, but he could also struggle to shine in our current workmanlike forward line.

      We need players back on his wavelength. I don't want to be hard on the lad but I hope Dancing Divock Origi doesn't start, and to be honest i'm struggling to find time for Sturridge too.

      That means in my lineup Firmino gets to go back up front by default. Hopefully that guves the team it's balance back but it's not the ideal forward line IMO.

      Would normally want lallana in midfield but think Klopp may be forced to play him top. No Can or Gini last night confirms this . Would like to see Ojo on bench need width and someone who hugs line

      I just hope we get back to our attacking and pressing ways, no more wayward passes and lackadaisical defense. Go out and batter these and start another  streak of wins.
