The captain on the night came to the Reds rescue in what was, overall, a poor display
What a nerve-wrecking match, with the Reds taking over 55 minutes to get their foot on the ball and control the game. Once they did though, it took barely 20 minutes to take the lead and, given the team’s newly discovered solid stylings, that was match won.
Of course, it wasn’t all that simple and, even once we had the lead, it was a very tenuous one with Swansea still looking dangerous, despite clearly tiring late on.
That was the team’s one get out of jail free card out of the past 13 league games, in which Liverpool have won 10 and drawn 3; we simply must see the team that have stood toe-to-toe with all comers since January and come out on top when Sunday’s opposition arrive, though.

Glad you went with a joint man of the match. Thought both were dererving but got to say, Skrtel is looking immense.
Ibe’s injury is a blow to our team – as Markovic is average & Lallana cannot defend. The most worrying is the pathetic form of Sturidge. It was as if we were one man short with Sturidge against Swansea – he could not press;could not pass &could not defend.. Our other three strikers are nothing but disappointment. The lesson here is that we must look for a striker of Surez class in other to truly become great again.
