Mane with the ball sticking to his feet with 4 Swans players on him in the area.

Zero awareness from his team mates for a lay off though

We're looking more comfortable now but giving the ball away to easily

Sturridge booked for simulation.

First half is already a clusterf**k of epic proportions.

Say what we like about playing a fired up team with a manager under threat but no shots on target in the first half is awful.

Biggest problem was the defence though, they set the tone for this performance with another shocking early effort on a set piece that led to the goal.

Dreadful first half. Definitely the worst I've seen us this season. Not a shot on target.

It's not even as if Swansea are playing great. Their goal only came about because the linesman failed to spot Borja was offside in the build up, and there have been huge gaps in their defence when we've had the ball but no one can exploit them. Firmino and Coutinho absolutely stinking so far. Mane looks the only player capable of turning this in our favour.

The game's still there for us. By not conceding before halftime I think we'll be able to regroup and go again.

After the early goal we lost our cohesion. Some passes aren't going where they should be, we lose the ball or when we have the ball we don't quite know what to do, nothing's coming off.

With Sturridge there we're always capable of getting a goal. He doesn't seem up to speed, though.

It seemed even fans of our biggest rivals were loving Klopp after his appearance on Monday Night Football.

I want them to start hating him soon for getting us good results, especially away at struggling teams.

I've looked at it a few times in slow motion and he was just onside unfortunately.

This game has all the potential of another Burnley here today; Swansea playing a similar game. We are looking very suspect on cross balls and, worryingly, we've been useless in their penalty area.

Swansea were decent last week and somewhat unlucky so I thought this would be a stiffer test than some pundits had predicted. Swansea scoring early hasn't helped as they are now happy to sit back and deny us space.

We've got the quality to get back into this and if we can be the team to score next and force Swansea out then we can still win this. Coutinho having one of his quiet games so far.

Weak shot on target from Firminho and Mane and Sturridge combine for a chance early in the 2nd half.

Swans break and thankfully don't score though.

Glad I didn't type that I was thinking we should definitely sub Firminho

Firmino almost mistimed that header and, I think, it was partly due to the slightly glancing contact that put it past the keeper. In real time Firmino looked well offside, but replay shows he was yards onside. Good goal at a good time.

Last five minutes have been frantic! Looks like there's only winner so I really hope we can take the lead soon before Swansea get back into the game

We're all over them now, but can't seem to put it away.

Karius lucky there but also unlucky as he ran into the Swans striker's face.

Swans with some attacking threat in the last five minutes.

Would like to see Origi come on.
