    Well, got out of that half without conceding so cant complain too much.

    Need to really step things up in the 2nd half.

    I'd argue a case for Ballotelli here to hold the ball up for us and pose them a different probllem

    Slow springs to mind. They just look like they want it more and are by extension winning the midfield battle, our defense is far too easily drawn out and leaving all sorts of gaps. Sturridge is dropping deep and we just have no out ball.

    Actually I really have to say this is self inflicted

    We cannot decide who is playing rwb and none of those out there are ****ing staying there

    Then the intensity from the front three is oh about zero. There is no press from is at all and they hate lining up 3 v 3 when pressing us and it's simple

    Exactly, so bringing on someone who offers less in attack and defence than the current two would just make things worse.

    Not on the bench, in fact the only player on the bench with a slight bit of pace is Markovic.

    The few times Ford has got the ball he's been dreadful. Lallana and Sterling shouldn't be on the pitch. Always have a problem about playing Lallana AND Coutinho away from home. Studge on scraps and trying to pull off miracles...

    Easier to say the three who playing okay - Migs, Skrtel and Allen. Can, apart from one total skinning, not too bad, and sakho ok defensively, but iffy on the ball (as usual). Not helped, again, by Moreno offering bugger-all defensively.

    I'd be tempted to take off Hendo and/or Lallana at ht. Gerrard and maybe Lovren on? Need one change anyway. Either hendo or Sterling will be sent off at this rate.

    Dammit didnt check the subs <laugh>

    I guess the only decent change we could make is to bring a defender on and push can into midfield

    We need to go 451 which becomes 433 in transition when we have the ball Sterling and Cout behind Studge with Allen Lallana and Henderson behind them so we can press the **** out of them cos we are not at it, and Can Skrtel Sahko and Moreno at the back. We need to take control of midfield and fill those holes down the side, too easy atm, a quality side would have ripped us open, if we do that we'll have much more joy. Gettinga grip on midfield will force them back a few yards too and let Sahko and Skrtel breathe

    lallana or Sterling off. markovic on. Same formation?

    Do we have a proper RB on the bench? If so, I'd be tempted to match their formation. Doubt BR will do anything until we're losing though <ok>

    As much as Swansea are set up well to stop us, we're doing all the hard work for them by passing them the ball. I've lost count of how many times we've given it away under no real pressure or through poor control. We're simply not in the right frame of mind and lack any intensity at all.

    Luckily, it's 0-0 and we're still in it.

    I would not bring on anyone at half time because our bench is a shambles. I would, however, kick them all up the arse and stick to Sterling at RWB because Lallana hasn't got the pace nor defensive sense to play there.

    You should be two down, ridden your luck there.

    Henderson's early booking cost you the only bite you've got in CM. He should move Can into CM.

    I say gerrard because the booking has neutered hendo. Maybe bring on Lovren and switch Can to midfield? If we go 4-5-1 then I wouldn't leave lallana out wide. Sterling's been booked, and I get the impression he thinks he's too Messi to play rm or rwb nowadays.

    Henderson was a dirty ****

    He went after shelvey early deliberately to rise him

    It has to be said of we are to call other teams players on such cheating

    Also red was going to book and foul cos once He saw the blood he knew he ****ed up
