ALAN HANSEN: "It can drive a manager crazy..."

Liverpool legend Alan Hansen believes Liverpool were 'sluggish' and 'lacked fluency' against Swansea City at the weekend, but he's confident Liverpool can bounce back with two wins against a 'struggling' Chelsea team in the coming weeks.

In his weekly column for LFC Magazine, Hansen bemoaned Liverpool's failure to create as many chances as in previous games, but called for Kenny Dalglish's fledgling team to be given more time:

"As disappointing as the result was, it has to be remembered that this Liverpool side is still gelling as a team, and there will be days when they just don't get going.
