    WBA will be a smashing game, and a game where i feel we will have more of a chance of 3pts, i know the league position doesnt lie but i do feel we are progressing,liverpool in the league at home was always going to carry alot of baggage, we only need to see the newspaper articles from Monk and Dyer saying how much they loved their X boss(the one that dropped them like a stone) to know it was going to be more difficult for the players than the fans.

    Dyer for me is behind routs, i dont think he likes it and nor should he but i think routs has more of a football brain than Nathan, as said above,both offer something different and both are valuable to us i just think that routs is a little bit more clever in and around the box and thats giving him the edge in this formation right now.

    We had chances today and if we had played against a team like this last year we would have lost quite easily, its the first time ive seen a team press us high up and seen us deal with it quite successfully,that is definite progress! we wernt as fluid as normal but you have to credit the opposition sometimes.

    I see a few have mentioned JDG slowing things down, as i saw it he was running up with the ball and not having sufficient support around him to use it properly so held it up, i thought this was the wise thing to do considering we were spilling alot of ball from Rangel,brits,ash,jdg and Ki .

    I fancy us against WBA, thats not being over confident but i feel we can give them problems with our movement. So far they havent played a team like ourselves so it would be intresting to see if they have learnt from the double we did over them last season.

    Rodgers is getting some serious flack on the newspapers comments colunms and also Joe is getting stick as well, i thought Liverpool looked ok to me,they are definatly getting better and as soon as they get rid of gerrard they will be on their way!

    A draw was a fair result on the balance of the game. Not decisive enough in the final third & still too much of a tendency to over-play, rather than just have a 'crack'!! I don't think it was lucky at all, we deserved what we got. We need a striker also to compliment our style, Laudrup will hopefully find what we're missing...

    I ask the same question to to you, out changing your incontinence pad were you for most of it? What about Reiner's fingertip save from Pablo as well as Allens clearance. Thank fcuk this fixture is over now so we can maybe concentrate on the Swans aspect of things instead of blowing smoke up Liverpool manager and supporters arses Dai.

    It's amazing, by the same token, how bad you are then :redface: O'l pepe was as busy as Tremmel was so Rev no more condescending comments please laddy! The Results say SWANSEA, PLAYED 2 WON 1 DRAWN 1, LIVERPOOL PLAYED 2 WON 0 DRAWN 1, so far.

    9 - Gerhard Tremmel made nine saves in Swansea's game today, no 'keeper has made more in a Premier League game this season. Barrier.

    Do shots from 30 yards that the keeper lights a *** up and waits to get to him really count then ?

    The only stat that counts is goals.

    It was a hard fought match that WE were the team that was glad it ended when it did as a point gained...... Liverpool were all over us in the end and it will feel like 2points dropped by them....Im grateful for a point after that display....<ok>

    I'm disappointed, they were there for the taking but we were poor today. An on song Swans team would be too strong for them.

    O'l DaiswantennaLad(y) must be upset as they are saying on the 'Pool board that they are happy with a point, so if they watched the same game as us what the F***is DaiSwanTenna Lad(y) on about?

    Yeah, i'm still really disappointed, i feel Liverpool were much closer to what they're capable of producing today than the Swans were. That annoys me because i am very confident that had we produced something like 'a good Swans home performance', i think we'd have caused liverpool many more problems and i dont think they'd got a tonne more to offer.

    Hopefully we'll make up for it in midweek.

    Dai, getting totally brassed off with your constant Liverpool love in and I think others are too. Swans supporter? Maybe but in my book you're a Liverpool supporter who follows the Swans. Got no time for it on our board.

    He was dropping further and further back and seemed to be relying on the longer ball , his legs are gone ML praised him but for me he, he wasn't a big influence in the game.

    Did anyone else notice the amount of bickering going on between the pool players, ol' Joe cannot be enjoying himself......his bed though....

    Ive said a few times and i think alot of liverpool fans would agree, gerrard is more of a problem than a cure for rodgers liverpool, a good player who will always get the odd goal but his powers are clearly on the wane .

    England are putting their hopes on players like him which makes it all even more crazy :)
