Review: Liverpool 0 Swansea City 0

TOP 4 NO MORE....?

I would be lying if i told you if i was happy with the result against Swansea City. Another 2 points dropped in the race for a top 4 spot, and if we can't beat teams like Swansea i find it hard to see us in a European spot at all come may.

Carroll thumps the cross bar in our only clear chance

For a 0-0 game it was fairly open and attacking, players had loads of space to move and pass the ball but both teams really lacked the killer touch in the final third to get the 3 points.

Credit to Swansea though, they worked hard, played their game and it nearly did the trick, and i would have to say that they were the better team over the 90 mins.

Other than Carroll's early chance that smacked the cross bar we didn't really threaten Vorm's goal until late in the second half.

Henderson was merely a spectator with a kit on in the first half and i wasn't at all surprised when he was replaced by Kuyt at half time.

Pepe heroics deny Swansea a winner

There were some positives about the performance, Downing was lively down the flanks, creating all sorts of problems for the Swansea defense, although Swansea left allot of space down the left hand side for our wide players to exploit.
Pepe Reina was critical in goal making some great saves to keep Swansea from snatching the game late on, his distribution was excellent and his passion to lead by example was evident.

Enrique was solid at the back, as where Agger and Skrtel, although rarely tested they showed great concentration and fitness to keep Swansea at bay.

With an international break now upon us and the next game away to Chelsea i really hope that Kenny has enough time to work with his players in preparing for the game.


i think if i was to sum up the game, and the next fixtures for us in one sentence it would be. "We must improve". BRING ON CHELSEA!!

FTK MoM: Pepe Reina

Pepe was by far our best player out there, alert, strong and influential. Critical saves, and excellent distribution capping off a well rounded performance.
