“Contender for the worst performance of the season” – Fans react to Swansea City 3-1 Liverpool

Liverpool slumped to a 3-1 defeat away to Swansea City on Sunday afternoon, providing scant reward for supporters travelling for the lunchtime kickoff.

Two goals from Andre Ayew and an excellent strike from Jack Cork sealed the three points and Premier League safety for the Swans, with Christian Benteke’s second-half header providing the Reds with a consolation.

Jurgen Klopp named a youthful lineup for the trip to the Liberty Stadium, with the likes of Danny Ward, Pedro Chirivella and Sheyi Ojo all included.

While the German clearly had one eye on Thursday night’s Europa League semi-final second leg at home to Villarreal, supporters were left disappointed with Liverpool’s efforts in south Wales.

Here’s how supporters saw Liverpool’s 3-1 defeat to Swansea.

Naturally, the overriding feeling was of disappointment, with a much-changed side proving too brittle for Francesco Guidolin’s hardworking side…

“Sturridge straight down the tunnel, not exactly endearing himself to the fans at the moment.”

Sturridge will be hoping to start in Thursday night’s semi-final—a game that serves as supporters’ sole focus from now…

“On to Thursday. Can’t wait for the game!”

“I’m confident Klopp will be able to get us moving in the right way next season but this isn’t the important game, three poor results in a row though we have to put that to a stop on Thursday.”
