    Okay now that my pain and bitterness is almost out of the system..I can say fair play to Swansea. They deserved that win hands down.
    Herrera was caught out by the sheer pace of a Premier league match. He will settle in though. We are about 3-4 reinforcements away from competing for Top 4. 2 class experienced defenders , A world class defensive midfielder and a World class Winger. Look at the space that was given to them on a plate for the first goal..if we had a solid midfielder perched in front of the back 3 that goal could've been avoided.

    I love Fletcher to death but I don't think he is first team material now and we definitely cannot depend on him for a whole campaign.

    Anyway Still 12 days till window shuts , Am confident that result sent a loud and clear message to the upper hierarchy of the club. Spend!! On the flip side , the one positive is the youngsters are showing promise especially Blackett. Can be a future England rock if he stays grounded and gets nurtured properly by the club.

    Agreed, except I don't think we need another winger. Edit: ok maybe, why you say another winger?

    You guys need 2 decent Central backs and a defensive midfielder....a Nigel de Jong or Strootman type player....Benatia from AS Roma as a back would be a quality signing aswell.

    Get Benatia, Vlaar and Strootman and youre allmost there

    (and no, my moroccan n dutch background ain't clouding my judgement lol)

    I think it's disgusting Suarez is getting paraded and allowed to play tonight...

    A ban is a ban...shouldn't be allowed.

    Why we need another winger..lets see because our most dangerous winger is a 19 year old that got promoted from the academy last season? We should not mount such pressure on a youngster. Nani is on his way out. Valencia and young have shown to be more efficient as wing backs. Zaha will most likely be sold or loaned out. Lingard is still raw. We need someone with pace ,experience , can beat his man and create chances from that flank.

    Di Maria would strengthen us in that department although am usually irritated by his theatrics and showboating.

    I always said that guy cared about no one or nothing other than himself. He ? all over Liverpool , it's heritage and fans.I must admit I was happy with that tragic break up , now all of a sudden more Liverpool fans are agreeing that he is a ? cheating racist ? . Liverpool much better off without him and the Premier league too..He is la liga's problem now. Counting down till his next incident and hopefully it ? off Barcelona's Sponsors.

    The ban on Suarez was way too excessive anyway bruh couldn't even train with the team at all. It's cool that the ban was deserved and all but banned from stadiums and anything related? Not like he gonna start biting people at the bench.

    You ain't getting this his third time doing this ? ...then doing it on the biggest stage in world football?!!

    It's like he don't give a ? and the original ban needed to be upheld to teach him a lesson.

    Let's not forget he denied it until the Barca move...selfish ? needs to learn...

    I bet he does it again anyway...

    If they get going they'll be unstoppable.

    It's theirs to lose but I won't heap praise on them so quick.

    They still gotta play the Arsenals, Manchesters, Evertons, and Liverpools of the league.
