Thought that we never got going in 1st half. Swansea are a tidy side and a win there is very creditable considering we've not beaten them there since they gained promotion under a certain Mr Rodgers. We lacked energy in the first half but still managed to have a shot or two. When Brendan changed it in 2nd half, playing Sterling in a more attacking position and playing a diamond formation, we began to look more threatening. It was obvious they'd had a good telling off at the break as the reds upped the pace and their pressing.
I'd take a 1-0 win all day long.
It's a two way tie to who was mom in Mig and Joe Allen - who to my mind was there all the time when we lost the ball. Skrtel and Hendo also did well. Sturridge still looks a bit rusty but hopefully the more games he plays the better he'll become. At least he's getting into scoring positions and with a tad of lady luck, could have made it 2-0 at the end and also he played that great ball into Sterling as well. There's no way can we afford to start so poorly on Sunday.
