Pre-Match: Liverpool v Swansea Saturday 21/01/17 KO 12.30

Burnley to thrash Arse.
Hull to hammer Chavs.
Stoke to batter Man poo.
Stalemate at the Etihad.

And us to smash the Swans by at least 4.  Sturridge to get 3.

Big Sam to get his first Palace win against the bitter blues...

Make my weekend!  Come on, I can dream, can't I?

It's genuinely strange to see someone with more than 10,000 posts mention moreno in a squad! It's usually 'BIGGESTSCOUSEYNWAFAN101' with 6 posts that puts Moreno in a squad cause he looks good on the old youtubes

Reason is twofold. Home to Swansea we should be living in their half. I think as dire as Moreno is defending he's actually quite good at getting in behind opponents. Then the moving of Milner to midfield go give that area a lift. It's been giving us nothing for weeks now.

But don't worry that's my team it won't be klopps

What's all this talk of scraping a 1-0, f**k that, Swansea are sh*t and we have Couts back as well as Matip. If we don't win this by 2 or 3 goals I'll be pissed off.

Because we have been struggling for weeks now to create chances let alone take them

Early weekend kick off there is only one outcome that will make me happy and that's three points. 1-0, 6-0 not overly bothered.  Not too sure whether the early kick offs lend themselves to being good games or good atmospheres so I just want the points and then to sit back and watch which other teams drop points.

Gone for a 3  1 win for the Reds today. It is time to get back to winning ways, Swansea at home, the ideal start. Think Sturridge may well be on the score sheet today.

7-0 (1-0, 1st half/ 6-0, 2nd half)

Bang on if Hendo comes on start of the 2nd half.

I kind of agree a bit but there are many factors here. Against Sunderland the whole team were knackered and off form, against Plymouth  we played the youth team against a very well organised defence, against Southampton it was a sh*t game, no 2 ways about it. Against Manure at Old Twatford I thought we played very well against an inform team and with some better finishing of our chances could have easily won. We now have some key players coming back into the team, especially Couts, who will also have had a decent little rest, so I expect us to kick on again.

Hope there's no complacency. The Swans are fighting for their premier league lives so I doubt they'll roll over for us.

Anything less than 3 pts and we can probably kiss goodbye to our title challenge.

Hoping to see the swagger return here.

Would expect them to come in their biggest bus, park it in front of Simon, and puncture all the tyres.

We've struggled a bit recently trying to break the mass defense, but feeling confident today. It's bright, and sunny, and have just had a strong cup of coffee     Oh, and we have Cou, and possibly Matip, back ...
Would like to see Studge start, but reckon its unlikely.

3 pts would put some pressure on the others, and let us relax and watch the rest of the weekend footy.

COYRs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!     

Swansea is poor at the moment but work still needs to be done to get the 3 points. Hope the rest in midfield turned up and not leave everything to Cou whom just back from injury. Hope the lads score as many as they could while we may need to rely on a better goal difference for a top 4 or top spot finish.

I don't think will be a breeze in the park. We always seem to struggle against these type of teams that sit back, if they have a go, then we should be able to knock them for six, but if they sit back I can see it being a long afternoon.

Expecting to see a performance similar to our September/October game.  We're virtually back to full strength so just need to get back into our groove again and this a perfect game to do it.

Strong performance, plenty of goals and an easy 3 points to the Redmen to put pressure on those around us.

5-1 is my prediction.
