First a big shout for the boys who kept on believing. Swansea played well and made us look quite average for at least about 50 mts.
I don't want to be negative but would love to highlight certain areas where we need some attention.
Henderson dropping between two CB's doesn't excite me as his passing are always to lovren or Clyne. He is no Alonso and certainly not his cup of tea to dictate the game from there.

Wijnaldum is a mystery and I have said previously he is a Fabregas minus key passes which means he just occupies the place and that's all. Non meaningful contribution at all given his partner dropped deep.

I have to admit we missed Lallana in the middle as he sees a lot of ball and in his absence we failed to dominate the midfield.

i don't know what's sturridge role set by klopp. He looks like a winger setting up for origi and firmino. He has to play central to me for any influence.

But in the end its points that matters and I am happy we came with all three points.

Thanks.

I'm not so sure Sturridge quiet fits the high press, as he likes to come collect the ball, I'd rather keep him and see him adapt more, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him somewhere like Arsenal or Spurs in the next year.
Wijnaldum, for me is an upgrade on Allen, breaking up play and keeping things ticking over in midfield, thought improved and more involved in 2nd half, like most of team.
nor sure our defenders are entirely comfortable with the zonal system, which is why we seem to concede easily and coula quiet easily have endedup2-2, and just prior to the Swansea chance at the end I was dissapointed thst Emre didn't try to thump it in the back of the net rather than dallying and trying to set up.
Could so easily have ended 3-1 or 2-2.

Sweet chin music. Henderson is adapting mate. He needs more options forward to pass it to. He has dropped deeper. maybe klopp sees him there for the longterm future driving forward when the opportunity arises for example chelsea. Wijnaldum has pace. something fabregas along with strength doesn't have. however he has alt more ability on the ball and better vision the wijnaldum. i see what you mean though.

Disagree about Wijnaldum. He's like a Fabregas who works harder, has more positional sense, and is stronger on the ball. Not only this, but he is very tidy on the ball and contributes a lot to our attacks (2 assists) Seriously, just watch him play, he does a lot that goes unnoticed.

OP Says I don't want to be negative and then proceeds to be negative, the irony. If you want to be negative don't put a disclaimer at the start of your post.
