Abysmal, really. A Liverpool side outclassed in Wales.
Albeit, a very weak and second-string Liverpool side. Jurgen Klopp was obviously putting all his attention on Thursday’s massive second-leg against Villarreal.
It is hard to put your finger on any standout performers in the Liverpool side – but I’ll give it a solid go.
Swansea did play well like everyone knows they can, but Liverpool didn’t do themselves any favours. Basic defensive errors have been a recurring theme this season. The press that Klopp has tried to implement this season wasn’t there at the Liberty Stadium.
That probably had a lot to do with personnel and the inexperience of playing with each other. The second-half performance, despite not being anywhere near good enough, was a lot better than the first-half one.
I think that goes some way of putting into perspective how bad the first-half performance actually was!
Team rating is a 0 – if I’m feeling generous.
Here’s how I rated the players:
