we don't blame you joe. it's just brendan and his tactical blunders that costs crucial wins. have faith. hope this january summer transfer window, we can buy proven world class goal scoring striker like llorente/ negredo/ huntlar. ynwa
"This was your worst performance in the shirt mate.. However I know it was just one night, never mind what it happened we are all turned towards Newcastle!
YNWA!"
"Joe - if lfc continues like this, don't hope top 4.....champiinship is next. Only Suarez and Yesil. Walcott n Huntelaar, don't hope for them in january. What's next Brendan????"
"That performance was nowhere near good...your manager just wanted swansea to progress...he made the same mistake against udinese and lost..so i don't see why he did the same thing again if not to gift swansea an advantage..BR, Well Done..i am sure by the time you are through with LFC, Reading will take u back."
"I understand how you guys feel. It was a bad day all round. win or lose i will still support LFC. I never saw you as a ball winner but your like a little pit bull. good luck for the rest of the season. YNWA "
"Dissapointed?
How the hell do you think we the fans feel?
Most of us work hard, save hard etc to come and see you lot every week and what do you serve up?
300 Mile round trip i make to support the club,at least make an effort like 40,000 of us do! Rant over!"
"Oz James what are you on tactical blunders the players picked badly under performed for 75 mins have yeah in our manager as well
But a world class striker would be nice ! Ynwa"
"The fact is, that at the moment, any team can beat us!..I dont see much progress here.
Im pleased for the youngsters coming through..but they had to come through because we had to ship out some seniors to balance the books ( cont)"
"..( cont) unfortunately we are a long way from being "balanced" on the field.
As for January, I dont hold out much hope for us wit the the super over-inflated prices of the transfer market...we are desperate for another striker, but I think the close season market is more realistic.
"
"we need class i agree with oz james we are linked with 5-6 million pound players every time. city,united attack they score always downing cole need to go, isoco huntalaar villa in"
"BR should realize that its not FIFA 11 that you can play anyplayer into any position as he did last night by playing 2 POOR wingers as LB & RB .. that cost us our defense line. "
"Liverpool we all know is going through difficulties. But I blame the former and the current coaches for turning the team into a third class team due to their blind purchases, buying lanky and week players who does not much opponents. Simply some teams are not meant for some little minded coaches. Period!!!!!!. Heartbreaks all over.
Douglas
Accra, Ghana"
"I am loosing faith on Brendan.Talking on media cannot change anything while results are no where near Liverpool deserve to get.Brendan you can not excuse every time we loose, things need to change very soon."
"I don't feel to blame anyone for the defeat Joe, nor you, even though our display was really poor yesterday, included yours. But when we play cup football I'd ask just more effort and commitment to the LFC cause by any player, thing that last night seemed to be lacked, spaecially from some experienced lad. The excuse of tireness is not justifiable."
"Shocking..What a way to defend the League Cup.
No two ways about it we are a worse team under BR than we were under KK.Nobody can dispute that now.Results speak for themselves.How anyone can think that wins against fodder like Norwich and Reading can indicate that we are on the right path under BR's stewardship is beyond me."
"We lose at home to Swansea what a joke and this is the team that we want to replicate! Oh how the mighty have fallen. FSG and that muppet Ayre have a lot to explain with the sacking of the King and the deadline debacle! You get what you sow! "
"He should have stayed at Swansea with Brendan Rogers.
What a rubbish Liverpool performance.
I am also very dissapointed. Did kenny not lead the team to win this cup last season? So brendan Rogers is failing even more.... Sorry I don't have much faith in him."
"I just don't get what the point of Joe Allen is.£15 million to pass the ball sideways or backwards.
We could have got Zaha from Palace for less than that.
It was up front where we lost Kuyt,Maxi,Bellers (and CARROLL!!!) where we needed to streghen."
"Kid of the KOP agree joe cole should have been th first player shipped out the bloke has no heart for LFC only wants to collect his 90k a week in wages. It should have been JC to west ham not big andy!"
"No major worries. It would've been nice to defend the trophy but we have the league, FA Cup and added incentive of a European trophy to prioritise for. Hard luck Brendan and the lads. In Brendan we trust!!! He's the man :-)"
"What an embarrassing performance from our squad last night,im starting to lose faith in BR already were not scoring enough goals and we basically need a whole new squad if were ever going to challenge for the league again in my opinion."
"THIS COMMENT SECTION IS TOTAL S H I T.
I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE CRITICISING BR ALREADY.
LFC DOES NOT NEED YOU PEOPLE. GO TO H E L L OR GO AND SUPPORT MANU.
I AM NOT PRAISING BR. BUT YOU NEED TO BE BEHIND UR TEAM AT HARDER TIMES."

"Where is all this supposed sponsorship money from Warrior and others.Is it sitting in the yanks bank.It saddens me to see, after supporting the reds for all these years,what a poor mid table team were becoming.Been better sticking with Kenny."
"Disappointed , yes VERY ! We are getting used to disappointment were Liverpool are concerned, out classed by Swansea what a painful thing to watch. BR may start to get used to hearing fans calling for his head,if he is here for the long haul many more nights like this are just around the corner!"
"After watching Being Brendan it looks like the players are baffled by his tactics.He seems to so over complicate things.
Shanks.."Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes,of controlling the ball and making yourself available to receive a pass.It's terribly simple.""
"Another quote from Shanks that our lads would do well to take note of.
"If you're not sure what to do with the ball,pop it in the net and then we'll discuss you're options afterwards""
"Swansea really embarassed us last night, Our final third is absolutely woeful, so bad we let ourselves down as well, where have all the high quality players gone from our squad?"
"STILL DONT SEE WHY WE BOUGHT ALLEN, ALL HE DOES IS PASS SIDEWAYS OR BACKWARDS HENSE WHY HE MAKES LOADS OF PASSES! COULD HAVE SPENT THE 15 MILLION ON A FORWARD"
"We want our club back.
This is Liverpool Football Club.
Kenny was right. Silverware first season, let the team grow, second season add 1 more goal scorer & blood Sterling etc. Result more silverware and champions league spot.
We have gone back 1 year and done untold damage to players confidence.
This is a nightmare."
"i always try to remain positive but we have played swansea 3 times in the last year and have drawn 1 and lost 2.have we really fallen this far behind?it feels like one step forward and 2 steps back so far this season.please buy a couple of strikers in january. give us fans something to get excited about.YNWA"
"When l said it last time pple thght l was CRAZY.here is the thing,last season we finished on top of Swansea when we were playing BAD.We fire KD in comes BR from Swansea brings in Allen from ateam tht finish below us when we whr playing BAD at we say we are planning for the future.Just bring back) back he has nothing to Prove but success.YNWA"
"You are such a winers and your knowledge of football sucks. If Liverpool fans a this stupid I really have to think if I stop supporting this club I have supported almost 30 years. It was only League Cup, who cares? Premier League is the most important and have got 8 point from last 4 games. If we continue that whole year we are close to 4 spot. "
"If we can succeed in PL we can get top players. At the moment Suarez or Agger would not choose to join Liverpool, we were much more successful the time they came to Liverpool. Even we would have money for Llorente etc. they wouldn't came. We could only get another Carroll for 35 million."
"It's not Cole or defensive lapses.It's simply the TIKI TAKA stuff which is not the liverpool way of playing football that is based on respect for your opponent"
"We are all feeling pist of today. We wear played of the park by swansea I bet we woud of won if we ad big carrol on for the last 20 min brendon we are not barsolona "
"DOOM AND GLOOM MERCHANTS OUT IN FORCE. THE FACT IS, WE LACK QUALITY AND STRENGTH IN DEPTH. HOPEFULLY, GETTING KNOCKED OUT OF THE CUP WILL HIGHLIGHT THIS TO THE OWNERS. IN THE MEANTIME WE HAVE TO SUPPORT WHOEVER WEARS THE SHIRT. NEGATIVITY WONT DO ANYONE ANY FAVOURS."
"Don't get where everyone's acting like Swansea were better team. Even in first half, LFC dominated possession, Swansea were poor. We lack firepower upfront, that's clear. But I think it's wrong to diss the team that were out there in first half, and to say Joe Allen was in midfield by himself is ridiculous. Shelvey was on the ball as much as he was. "
"If we'd won it would have papered over the obvious shortcomings of our team. We need results like that to keep us honest... We've been winning 1 nil and making out we're in with a shout at top 4, but we'll only get top 10 under BR. That's all he's capable of.."
"BR does not seem able to inspire the players to play with passion as a team. His constant praises for the players he bought & careless remarks on other players rather divides the team. Players will not die n sweat for him. Truly lacks experience. Its not just ok, ok, that will make the team bind together"
