"Like the line up today, not a bad bench either, no excuses today guys good solid win to start us on a run of consecutive wins, no more dropped points no more silly mistakes. We need to start showing more than just potential. We love you lfc, go make us proud"
"well thats probably the best team we can put out... (suso for downing would be my only change, but suso does not make the bench?) I would play johnson instead of Downing and have kelly at right back...so this well be a measure of where we are at... and I also agree, we need to have a stronger bench, at the moment borini/allen/ (who I like) are not bringing much..."
"Good line-up! But are not we maybe a bit too much attacking-minded? I think that with a midfielder more we would have been a bit more balanced and compact in the middle, anyway pleased to see Coutinho have a starting berth! Best of luck for the game lads! Do us proud guys and win for the shirt and the gaffer! YNWA Reds"
"game hasn't even started and certain knbs asking for brendan sacking obviously not supporters of LFC so wish they would just f*k off or get behind the team and manager :("
"Suso deserves to at least make the bench. He along with Suarez and Sterling is one of our most effective creative players. Assaidi has barely featured since his arrival which is disappointing. And finally, how Borini keeps making the lineup is astonishing. He may be young but let's be honest, he's not Liverpool caliber. That said, good luck boys"
"No complaints about the team.I would have liked to have seen Suso on the bench. PLEASE no more excuses if the players again dont perform. If Downing does his disappearing act get him off!"
"Amazing Brendan! I posted up my dream formation and this is almost it. The only change I would have made was Assaidi instead of Downing and also Suso making the bench but this formation is almost spot on! Well done and I'm going for a Liverpool win. "
"Good team out to day go get the win red men,Rodgers said it again before a game that we will get 4th wish he would shut up we lose ever time he says that"
"haha Yesil has ligament damage not Assaidi. There is a reason why we dont see Assaidi yet. For now lets focus on who is playing in this game :) You Downing haters can go fck urselfs. including the BR haters. dont recall Downing doing fckall wrong for ages now. no better than our strikers and our poor defence. Unrealistic bellends"
"Whatever who's on pitch, 101% commitment please. I can see Downing getting a goal along with Suarez. Sturridge has a part to play in one of them. Seems 2-0 to me."
"our only chance is that the swans have a wembley date next week so wont be wanting to get injured. we'll probably win 2-1 but it wont paper over the cracks of the very poor team we are. disillusioned. "
"Assaidi is in BR's bad books for going off to the Africa Nations Cup with Morocco when he was still injured. He was told if he went what would happen !!!!!! "
"Hmm I hope this selection is right, best of luck babay! I think ever since Carragher made a statement that he is gonna retire after this season, Brendan Rodgers decided to play him in every match, haha, he's good though, YNWA, 3 points please."
"Why is our best midfielder on the bench. Why is our best c/defender on the bench.if we can't beat Swansea's reserves god help us.thats hendo and skrtel folks."
"What if we had played Daniel Pacheco and/or Suso in that midfield spot alongside Gerrard and Lucas/Allen? I think we would have two brilliant options there as well by now."
"I hear we are looking to replace Suarez in the summer. We should be looking to get in another player of his quality and level instead, to bring the number of senior strikers closer to a complement of four. Wilfried Bony, Jackson Martinez, Michu, Christian Benteke, Carlos Bacca... "
"Budbudhaha
Pay attention, Skrtel is on the bench the past 3 games for a reason; he is very very weak! Henderson is unlucky to lose his place, though hardly our best midfielder."
"Lucas looks slow since he returned hope he picks up, SG can't cope with two games per week, I hope you not looking in my window how else would you know bout my pipe."
"OntarioScouse I'm not surprised with the exception of the star players Brendan treats the younger and less players like school kids. He's a ridiculously bad manager who talks utter crap on a regular basis as has been proved all season. Let's hope we can beat the Swansea B team. "
"Watching a game. DO we have left and right wingers? Ending up having strikers running along the sides instead. What is Downing doing? A long range is just never target."
"What a f##king shock Webb has gave use a pen has hell frozen over. Get in there Stevie G now we need 2 push on and kill them off and not 2 mess around YNWA"
"if this is suppose to be a project why play Carra all the time and not invest in a younger centre back?yes he is playing well but at the end of the year we will be back at square one "
"14 shots already come on you reds by the way cant believe fergies love child gave suares a penalty thought he'd have booked him for a dive things are looking up come on lads lets help our goal difference they are there for the taking YNWA"
"Wow! Pulsating Reds today! Superb with DS and PC playing. More attacks from start. This is what I wanted to see since Day 1! Downing playing his best footie! More goals after Stevie G's penalty! Win Win Win! YNWA!"
"Real avalanche of a 1st half from LFC, although that should be expected with a weakened SC side. 1-0 does not reflect our dominance, but boy are we playing well. Still wish SD would make some runs down the wing, there's loads of space but looks scared. Come on reds."
"Get in there is how u start the 2nd half and if we push on we can get a hat full.And well done on getting your 1st goal of many we hope Coutinho YNWA"
"Scoring 4 past Vorm is amazing, I rate Vorm as one of the top 3 keepers in the PL. Hope we get the deserved praise for this win, but I expect there will still be divs calling for BR's head at the end of this game."
"well done to phillipe coutinho looks good YNWA also about time we beat the swans was a long time coming go on jordan keep up the pressure on 'em goal difference can improve studge to score next "
"Lol 4-0 up and cruising, wonder how the naysayers are gonna find faults today? All the br/fsg haters may as well start making stories up cause there is really nothing real to moan about today"
"notice all the doubters/trolls have ed off again so happy this game is brilliant go on studge get your name on the score sheet YNWA get in 5-0 come on reds keep it up YNWA "
"lost count of how many shots today great all round performance well done lads and brendan YNWA ps all the doom merchants/brendan out brigade have gone to troll another teams site ha ha ha ha ha "
"Great performances by all the lads. Suarez was the best I've seen him yet. Gerrard was immense. Hendo when he came on for the excellent Coutinho was also incredible.. Shame about Borini, hope he's not out for too long. That said, we should be smashing teams like Swansea anyway and they didn't really try.."
"Thats the result we should expect against a weakened Swansea with one eye and a half on their cup final. How I wish we were in the cup final.. Anyway at least they did the job that needed doing today. Another 14 straight wins to go as I predicted."
"Excellent result - but then its no more than we should expect playing the Swansea 2nd eleven. Dont know what Rodgers is trying to prove bringing on Allen we all know hes PANTS! lets see what he does with the next two games!"
"5* performance but thats what you get when you field so many attacking minded players. Been saying this for over 4 years and also been right for over 4 years. Some doubters will come up with lame excuses that Swansea had a weaker squad. No offence to them but Liverpool would have won the game even if Swansea had there best 11! "
"ChampionsOfEurope - i see you're still deluded - we didnt beat a teams thats in the top half of the table - we beat their 2ND ELEVEN!! Lets see what they do in the next 2 games shall we - if we win both of those 5-0 then you can start getting excited!"
"Some ppl still having a little dig after that performance? ?? Omg what is wrong with you? Are u ever happy? My god u lot must have the most pathetic home lives if all you can do is moan about the players we didn't buy after a great showing by OUR team"
