It was a clear penalty. Swans should be trailing by 3 - 4 goals. With littele luck the game is still changeable... Can't get worse, L'pool haven't closed the game as they should.
 
The only thing blatant is that it was a dive. The way Suarez has been cheating 1st half, he would put some olympic divers to shame. I think he has dived 4/5 times already ffs <doh>

Nope.

He's been brilliant so far, just accept that you're watching one of the world's best strikers (not Michu ;) )

Lol.....We are missing six regulars!!!!

We're playing Stewart Downing, what's that worth?
 
WE had a bet the first time this line would be trotted out. I thought it wouldn't be till at least the end of the game as anyhing can still happen in the second half but well done getting in there this early, shows you mustn't have much faith in your team to turn this around yet.

It was actually mentioned before kick off when the teams were announced....no need to wait for the game to start, most Swans fans know it will be a long hard slog today. You should be up by more to be honest, but I expect Swansea to be better 2nd half. You will likely need a 2nd.

I wonder how good Michu would be then if he went down every time he stepped into the penalty box? <whistle>
 
I bet brendas bricking it, if he doesnt get a win against our token side he`ll be for it ! And swarez just doesnt know any other way to play than dive whenever he can .
 
I know we are basically talking about our second string line up but I see the same deficiencies highlighted even more. We are such pussies on the ball. Honestly I sometimes think a Girl Guide would have more shove on the ball than some of our players. Yes, I know that we can play football but there is a physical side to the game, which our players need reminding about.

Of course, Kemy eventually decides to do just that and then tackles a known diver going nowhere in the penalty area and gives away a penalty. Great thinking? Not!!!!! The only consolation is that Liverpool well deserved the goal and could have got several more. As for Shechter, in the past I have noticed he has a marked tendency to get caught offside. He is not letting me down and with his lack of contribution we might have to waste a sub to try and get something up front.

This is hurting right now but I accept Laudrup's thinking in playing a weakened side and I'll happily take a loss if it means lifting the cup next week. Final thought, I just hope that Rodgers remembers that half our regular starters were missing if Liverpool win (extremely likely) and tones down the superlative comments in his post match interview. I doubt it though.
