If they're **** then beat them, simples. They get their results every year, enough results that they should have earned some respect I would have thought.

Gerrard with another stinker option.

livinginkorea · 07-10-2012 4:08pm

Nice one Johno, some more of that please.

Washington Irving · 07-10-2012 4:08pm

Bit better so far

Super pass

Washington Irving · 07-10-2012 4:09pm

Very poor finish from Johnson, may not get a better chance. Great pass from Gerrard though

I don't have a problem with Gerrard being one of the three midfielders at present. Having one player who is more direct and trying to approach things slightly differently shouldn't be a problem - so long as he is a bit higher and not receiving it all the time.

Unfortunately that's the sort of thing that means his lack of ability to control is overlooked as everyone gets distracted by the odd flourish.

Yes, like men. They play physical and tough, give no quarter. They don't roll around or dive, and they don't go crying to the ref for things. Manball. The way it should be. Football is a physical battle, and you have to win it / deal with it for your superior technical ability to shine through. Up to us this half...

It's fine that they do that and I agree with the emboldened bit as a way of conducting yourself as a player. However, playing tough, wich is fine, plenty of team do that in any division, doesn't mean that elbowing players or stamp ing on them (I don't know that these happened, I've only gone on what you guys on boards have said) is excusable.

Elbowing / stamping / bad tackling = diving / feigning injury / asking for opponents to be booked

in my opinion. Stoke are not any worse than Spain imo, just different ways to cheat.

07-10-2012 4:15pm

This playing around with it at the back is too much sometimes

noodler · 07-10-2012 4:15pm

Nothing fills me with greater dread this season than the sight of Reina with the ball.

07-10-2012 4:15pm

Sterling not really in the game today, getting muscled out of it

You can seriously injure someone with a stamp ...

BorneTobyWilde · 07-10-2012 4:16pm

Sterling off Ass on

07-10-2012 4:16pm

Bloody hell, what a run and what a miss!

noodler · 07-10-2012 4:17pm

Aw nearly GOTS stuff there.

Washington Irving · 07-10-2012 4:17pm

Suarez

We really need to score one of these. Such a shame to miss after that run

07-10-2012 4:18pm

Sterling off

De Dannan · 07-10-2012 4:18pm

Suarez always insists on doing the Maradona type runs. If he lists his head he might have options

LuckyLloyd · 07-10-2012 4:19pm

Better side since half time, need to make it count.

BorneTobyWilde · 07-10-2012 4:20pm

Need more of a threat, Gerrard up front
Sterling off,
Henderson on

Morzadec · 07-10-2012 4:20pm

I don't think we're going to win this game

mike65 · 07-10-2012 4:22pm

That's Luis nutmeg for the game.

noodler · 07-10-2012 4:22pm

I've a horrible sucker punch feeling.

**** that, we'll score. We're seeing more of the ball and getting looks. Just need one to go in...

ollie1 · 07-10-2012 4:23pm

Joe Cole coming on.

07-10-2012 4:24pm

Sahin's dead balls have been woefull today

ShaneScouse · 07-10-2012 4:24pm

If these were liverpool tackles in old trafford, there would be 4 yellows and 1 red by now. Literally

jethro081 · 07-10-2012 4:24pm

joe cole is coming on.

fuck

machiavellianme · 07-10-2012 4:24pm

joke hole on for suso

BorneTobyWilde · 07-10-2012 4:24pm

COLE !
Come on prove us all wrong

Handsome Bob · 07-10-2012 4:24pm

Joe Cole eh...lol wut

mike65 · 07-10-2012 4:24pm

Joe Cole for Suso or Sterling one presumes.

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater · 07-10-2012 4:24pm

Joe Cole on!

Stoke might as well give up and go home now.

noodler · 07-10-2012 4:24pm

Cole.

Wow.

BR leaving himself open for serious criticism if this backfires.

livinginkorea · 07-10-2012 4:24pm

Joe Cole on...hmm

el dude · 07-10-2012 4:24pm

Rodgers substitutions make little sense. Henderson coming off mid week, and now this...Suso should still be on, and what in the hell is he at bringing on this spoofer?
