Preview: Swansea City




Today i preview our next premier league game against EPL newcomers Swansea City.

With it now confirmed that Stevie G will be out with another infection until at least Christmas we are really going to have to back the midfield that has done the job for us to a point already this season.

Lucas, Adam, Downing and Kuyt/Bellamy must perform if we are going to get the 3 points at home this weekend, that being said i also thing that our very leaky defense need to step up, and provide the team and the fans with a clean sheet, let's make Anfield a fortress again!

Swansea City currently sit in 10th place after 10 games played with their away form being particularly poor having only picked up 1 point from the last 4 games away even though 2 of those away days where against Arsenal and Chelsea.

Stevie G out till late November?
Like any EPL game we shouldn't go into the game thinking it's won, we'll need to work hard at the back, and play quickly going forward. We have been guilty recently of being wasteful in front of goal too. this has to stop, we need to take our chances and out results to bed  as soon as possible. Easier said then done i know.

Looking at the Swansea squad and i can't really pick out any players i see as being key to getting anything out of the game, Ashley Williams with 11 apps, Mark Gower leads the assists with 3, and Danny Graham is their top scorer with 4.

On the Liverpool side, i wouldn't be surprised if Bellamy gets a start, his pace and physical presence could be key to winning the 50/50's out wide, i would also like to see Lucas play the ball wining role in the middle of the park to break up any possible Swansea count attacks.


Overall i think a confident, clinical performance is needed on Saturday, and i believe we have the team to get 3 points

Prediction: Liverpool 3 Swansea 0

  1. For me Downing and Henderson need to step up now Stevie G is out. Adam has settled but these two are still not quite gelling. Kyut should start on the right with Adam, Lucas, and Bellamy. The latter has been used as an impact player but I'd like to see him get a start.
