      My favourite comment was how Coutinho has "released the beast from within". :laugh:

      Awesome - what does even that mean?!

      Phew!  Anfield needs to make some noise in those situations, put the fuckers off, not transmit nervous tension to the players.

      Sorry mate but he needs to get his facts straight.  Glen from Southampton?  Really?  And what's the crap about windshields??

      Anyway we're playing well, just need a few goals.

      I'm joking. I usually can only take Schoen if he's partnered with the lunatic that is Ray Hudson!

      Gotta get a couple of goals while we are on top, or this could come back and haunt us, yet again. Come on Red Men.

      F**k sake I've got some stupid yank (sorry to our American friends) commentating on my stream talking absolute sh*te  :mad:

      I know what you mean Debs, but right now I'd take anyone talking sh*te, my usual pay to view site hasn't got it on! It's flaming Chelsea v Shrewsbury, that's bound to go to penalties, not!

      Stuffed if I know but it's approaching the John Arne Riise "release the kraken" level of hilarity.

      Playing well dominating possession for the first game in a while. Lacking cutting edge in the final third. Markovic still looks poor I hope there's a player in there. Cou our best player Borini playing well also.

      Quite happy with that display. We are playing a lot better than in recent weeks. Some of our passing so far tonight has been lovely. Also Borini needs to be rewarded with a bit more game time after his first half display.

      Just hope he gets a deserved goal.

      Started really well and pressed very well. Coutinho bossing things but being wasteful with the final ball/shot. Defense lining up well and defending all set pieces well. Bit desperate looking towards the end but all in all playing well. Lucas doing well bar the odd lucas foul.

      Borini getting involved but wasteful a lot.

      All in all should be winning but havent really threatened their goal.

      It really is shocking. A £20 million forward that can't shoot!

      We've been decent enough but there's plenty we could be doing better. Markovic looks petrified at the moment but there's glimpses again of a quality player just think he needs a massive boost of confidence.

      Hendo got to grips with the space and became much more influential as the half went on, resulted in Swansea having to drop even deeper. Having them pinned back like that though we must make that kind of pressure pay and again we couldn't.

      Borini tried, his movement is such a pleasant change from watching Balo. Lambert still looks painfully slow but his link up play is good when given the chance.

      0-0 Half time.

      Creativity has been there, Couthino playing great, Borini unlucky to not scoring but great attitude, he look like our top man in front. Might makes Balo thinking a bit more..
      Hendo seems a bit out of it,pressure of being captain again?
      Lambert had a few nice touches, back look sloid although hasen't been tested..
      Brad did what he had to do well, but can do better in distribution (although, not worse than Migs at the moment).

      In all, a good solid first half, pretty decent football, dominated. Must score early second half or could become an other nervous finish.

      Slowed up towards the end.  Would still prefer to see two up front, Borini arguably one of our best players and made to do a lot of work coming from that right hand side.

      When exactly did Rodgers think one target man up front was the future? He seems dead certain to persist with it.

      Me either. Everyone he does is basic. Haven't seen any real quality yet. Ibe look ten times the player and he's two years younger out on loan.

      I think he knows it is no good but is too stubborn to admit/change it and is in fact just hoping that it somehow starts working.

      I'm a bit underwhelmed with Markovic's first touch, seems to ruin some chances to do his trickery near the attacking box. I was so impressed with him in the UEL last season, I'm still waiting to see some of that in a LFC shirt.

      Borini has done well, which is great, hopefully will put more pressure on the laziest striker on Earth.

      If my shooting was as bad as his I'd be scared too.
