still in the bottom half - not good enough...

[KingG]

worried about how long stevie can keep going with this poor form.

sterling (had another great game leading up to) poor poor ball back to suarez that surely should have resulted in a goal

a point away to a higher team .. ok

[maguskwt]

Disappointing game...

We're not going to get anywhere with these draws. At least we didn't lose. Still, not good enough for Liverpool. We should at least look like we're challenging for the top 4.

Hard to describe how I feel after that game, an away point but it still feels like two lost

[parchpea]

A non event devoid of passion.

Felt like I was watching a training match but a fair result.

Tempo was way too slow and Gerrard doesnt seems to be able to lift it
these days.

Sterling finished really poorly.  3 or 4 passes in a row that were under hit, overhit, or to nobody when we really needed him.  that ball to Suarez at the end was so simple and just a shocking pass, I'm not sure what happened to the little guy but he was struggling.

Either way, a 0-0 away to Swans is nothing to be upset about.  We won't be the only ones who drop points to them.  They're only loss at home was to Everton when Everton were on fire, and Dyer was sent off.

Really can't complain.

Probably a fair result although we had the better chances to score. A better pass from Sterling and Suarez might have won it.

Gerrard worries me these days. He no longer lifts or inspires the team and his play is slow and laboured.  It's sad to say but even as short of quality as we are he still probably doesn't merit a regular start. Made a couple of cracking passes today but his influence on games is tiny compared to a few seasons back.

Today showed that the January transfer window cannot come soon enough. Today was a typical example of needing a plan b, Rodgers problem is in terms of strikers he has no real plan b.

Bring on January!

Time has caught up with him and his decline is alarming. We have to learn not to rely on him to win games.

Funnily enough, at the moment, we have 16 points from 13 games — exactly the same under Roy Hodgson after the 13 game mark, but I’m not drawing any similarities — I’m just remarking. Although I remember being furious with the Hodge at that point, where as at the moment, I’m quite happy with Rodgers.

Poor result, but we are still a shitty team and we need to scrape these results, it’ll be even more difficult to go to White Hart Lane and get 3 points.

I think the January and Summer transfer windows will define Rodgers. His success hinges on how his recruitments improve the team. 7 (league) games to go until the transfer window. It’s obvious Rodgers can’t wait, will we sign anybody?

[red till i die!!]

probably a fair result but it was a disappointing performance.
lacked any real urgency or tempo and then no plan b. that game would have been perfect for suso or sahin because swansea arent physical and they would have the time on the ball to create something.
gerrard was again poor and its about time rodgers realises that and either drops him or give him a different role because his performances this season have been either average or poor. it beggars belief also how joe cole got on to that pitch when we were looking for something extra.
some better finishing would have got us a win but again its the same old boring story.
as others said the transfer window cannot come quick enough and its vital that we sign the right players that improves that team straight away.

Wow What a Wenkfest in Wales Today. Players with no soul ,no passion ,no purpose. Other then the obvious striker debacle ,we are desperately missing a leader on the pitch ,not long ago it was super Stevie but no longer ,not one rose to the occasion and tried pushing the lads forward. I really hope our players don't undergo drugs test as it was obvious Sterling was under the hash cake influence and Hendo/Downing popped some Xanax before the game.

And BR ,with all due respect to tactics you need your BEST players on the pitch ,So why didn't Jonjo and Assaidi play/start the game??? No excuse for poor picking at this stage.
Who needs December ,bring January right now!!

Totally agree with you two at how alarming his decline has been and I seriously don't think he is deserving of a starting berth at the moment. The only thing getting him in the team at the moment is the lack of quality replacements in the squad and the respect his past achievements deserve.
