Match Report & Information

The big games come thick and fast in the Premier League. Just 5 days after travelling to Old Trafford, Liverpool were the visitors to the Liberty Stadium. Kenny Dalglish is under pressure after a series of poor results and a defeat here would not help. Federico Bessone returned to the line up after injury and his presence had been missed. A fantastic 3-0 win against one of the big-boys.

I think the way you're doing it now is perfect, it's easy to read and gives a great overview of how you're doing. BTW - i think you'll beat Albion over 2 legs and get to the League Cup Final. Also, well done to beat Liverpool and Arsenal.

SUBS: Moreira, Williams, Dobbie, Lita, Tate, Richards, Graham.

Match Report & Information

Not a good game for the nerves, but a great game to watch.

By half-time, Swansea had raced into a 4-0 lead and looked clear favourites to progress through to the final. I don't know what Hodgson said at half-time but a totally difference West Brom team turned up in the second half and two goals from substitute Odemwingie along with a Garry Monk own goal bought it back to 4-3 before a Leon Britton penalty pulled it back to 5-3 and yet there was still time for another penalty from Chris Brunt brought it back to 5-4.

Match Report & Information

After a tight match at the Hawthorns, Fulham visited the Liberty. Another tight affair with Swansea claiming a 3-2 win. Obviously little problem going forward but the defence are struggling to keep it tight at the back. Definitely something to address in the summer.
