Liverpool would run rings around us, just like Barca and City do, if we decided to line up with tall players over skill
Dirty Sturridge
Wow! I don't think I've ever seen Sturridge actually booked for his diving!! 
Harsh yellow.
His chain was weighing him down
The return of #divestudge
Swansea going to need a second in this game.
I said Zlatan will bully them. Nothing else. What can't you grasp?
Zlatan is the most skilful player in the team.
That's why I dislike Klopp. Protesting a clear dive, probably encourages it in training ffs
Matip looks like he could do with bulking up.
Swansea doing such a good job of hustling liverpool
Better last five minutes. The final ball's not there at the minute though.
Swansea defending well but liverpool getting more and more chances now
Swansea are tiring that's why
Mane is the sort of player I hoped we were getting when we signed Depay.
Swansea are trying to push you wide. Let them do it and then switch play to the opposite flank quickly. Swansea are keeping their shape in the central areas of the pitch and moving as a block wide tracking your play. Keep switching quickly and the gaps will open up
He would only bully them if we gave him a lot of good service. We need the ball and speed to provide good service. Lumping it up to him and Fellaini is brutal tactics.
Obviously a Barca fan would defend diving.
There was contact.
Coutinho's been poor, Swansea have done well to not allow him space in front of their box though.
Like a morgue. You can hear the Swansea manager clearly on the sideline.
Where's jefferson Montero?
Who said anything about lumping it up to him and Fellaini? I simply said he will bully them and you start chatting shit talking about playing Barca several years ago and their average height of 5'7 before rolling your eyes.
You just know Liverpool will score eventually.
Things that are blatant penalties for Barcelona isn't necessarily penalties for the rest of the football world.
Why are Liverpool not pressing more?
Geoff Shreeves was interviewing someone when I turned the TV on. With very tight pants.
So? That justifies diving?
Nobody said it was a penalty.
Football's a contact sport, regardless of what Barcelona will have you believe.
That Studge dive didn't look like much, Michael Oliver getting himself into th egame, innit.
Didnt turn up, not surprised. Happens every few games, and the problem is we arent resillient enough defensively to eek out dirty wins. This set piece defending and constantly conceding from the first shot on target has been a consistent theme for years now.
I don't think it's a penalty, or warrants a yellow card for diving.
You guys think you're original with these lame Barcelona comments... 3rd one so far
Yeah it feels like they are tiring but I don't think our best football comes from the wide areas of the pitch. You see Clyne and especially Milner always coming back inside to find a pass for one of the attacking players, all of which generally prefer to play in a more central position.
The next goal if there is one will decide the game. If it goes 2-0 we've lost.
In truth, Depay was advertised to be a powerful, fast, direct attacking winger.
So yeah, basically we thought we were getting a similar player to Mane.
Unfortunately, Depay has not been able to adapt to playing better quality sides. He is great against lower level opposition, though.
Mane would have been brilliant for us. If he manages to find consistency under Klopp he will be an amazing signing, his top level was never under question, but his consistency surely was.
I am not suggesting switching wide as an attacking option but more an option to start to seperate the central swansea block they are using to clog up the middle of the park. They are moving as a pack and if you can switch quickly and frequently you have a chance to create gaps or spaces between that central Swansea defensive block. They want to keep you in the wide areas but if you switch it will get too hard to keep upm the intense covering.
You guys think you're original with these lame Barcelona comments... 3rd one so far
I don't care about Barca. I am not their fan, so I'm quite happy to read nide comments about Barca.
It was a blatant attempt at dishonestly trying to win a penalty. The yellow was correct even if the rule isn't applied consistently.
