      Work rate is good but we look a bit devoid of Ideas... It is the same thing over and over again... ball wide and trying to flash it into the box... No penetration between their centre backs  :mad: :mad: :mad:

      Rarely does, gets far too much praise for being just above average in defensive areas. His best asset is his stamina and willingness to run but in terms of quality in attacking areas they're few and far between.

      Exactly. He's been crap for two seasons now.

      I'd love Milly to switch and get Moreno on.

      Another shocking half, take Mane and his pace out of this side and we look bloody awful.

      Surely we can take Can or Gini off and get someone else on to shake it up.

      That was about as heavy metal as coldplay.

      F**k me we are useless.

      If you have no pace you need creativity, if you lack creativity and pace you need a proper centre forward.

      It's an embarrassment at the moment. Lovren, Milner and Mignolet the only 3 players who haven't pissed me off so far.

      Swansea will not have had an easier half all season.

      Lallana has been out best player, but the problem is, he drops a lot where as someone like Mane wouldn't. We need to bring on Sturridge for either Can or Wijnaldum. Also, Firmino has been very good, especially with his movement.

      The front three have linked up well at times but are being starved of service.

      So what the F**k does Can offer? He can't tackle, he can't head and he can't pass. It's easy pickings for Swansea if Emre Can is supposed to be the creative outlet.

      So little patience within our fan base.

      Change this, change that, should be doing this not that.  This isn't working, that's not working.

      Not every attack or period of possession has to end with a shot on target, goal, save.  Not everything has to be at hundred miles an hour.

      I'm enjoying it, it's how we've been playing all season minus the goal fest but that doesn't mean the goals won't come.

      Patience my young Redis  ;D

      The complacency deep in their half has been awful defined by that Clyne clanger.

      You can also remove Can from this match and go down to 10 men because it seriously would not make any difference. I'm only half joking in saying that removing him would probably make us better. He just gets in the way.

      Despite all the moans and groans we've had 7 or 8 decent chances there and are unlucky not to be leading at half-time. Bobby clearly MotM so far, Coutinho also playing well but we need so much more from Milly and Clyne. Again they're being gifted all the space and time then producing not nearly enough quality when given the opportunity.

      Hendo and Gini had interesting halves, both started well for the first 10 minutes and then went backwards. In terms of Hendo I don't think I've seen a DM playing for us gift the ball to the opposition as many times as that in a single half, it was freaky to be honest. Strangely I preferred his attitude to passing forward but they just were not coming off whatsoever.

      Defensively we've had very little to do and are completely dominant.

      The breakthrough is coming but feel we might need to drop Lallana into midfield to give us that extra guile to work through the lines. Can/Gini just don't do enough on the ball and don't offer enough incision to split defences and on this form we really don't want Hendo to be the one we're relying on for the passing :D

      Klopp needs to give them a bollcoking at half time. Worst I've seen Henderson play in a long long time. Firmino and Lallana playing ok. Everyone else poor.

      All gone a bit flat hasn't it.

      I don't see what Can brings to these games (the bus parkers), that Lallana doesn't in midfield, freeing up a spot for an individual like Sturridge.

      Work-rate isn't going to cut it, Sturridge must come on, then hopefully their keeper will at least be tested.

      Take Can and Firmino off, put Origi and Sturridge on and change to a 4-4-2 diamond. Henderson at the base, Coutinho at the tip, Wijnaldum and Lallana on the flanks. Right now it's just not working.

      Lack of width is painful against a piss poor team, too many lateral passes and no one is interested in getting behind their back 4, coutinho too deep and might awcell have nobody upfront because they all drop deep

      If we continue to dilly down the flanks instead of juggernault thru the middle we ain't gonna create anything except a big thank you by Swansea defence for us being so soft and void of ideas and not harassing them enough. Many goals are scored thru confusion inside the box and we aren't creating any confusion inside their box at the moment.
