Stoke v Liverpool. Sun Jan 12th. KO 16:00. Live on SS1. Mod Warning post#399

I am so, so angry about the scoreline.


Probably haven't been this angry since this time last year when we let a 0-1 lead slip at Stoke and lost 3-1 in the end.

Coutinho needs some Akinbiyi esque training of just hitting the ball into an empty net.

from my view 1 goal was a defensive error and the second it was a midfield error

So... Defensively poor then...

Why can't Hendo play with Stevie on the pitch. Always so indecisive when they play together

Is Allen injured?



Bless Rasta, he's just having a pop at me. But like most of his posts, I just laugh it off.

Ah I had to given what happened. Thought you were never posting again?

murpho999

Sickened after throwing away that lead.

Our central defence is weak and needs upgrading, although midfield caused the 2nd goal.

Good test for Rodgers now to fire them up for 2nd half. Surely we'll see Sturrudge at some stage.

Makes for an intriguing second half anyway. Sterling really is a handful these days, come on a lot this season. Posted how I though Coutinho would keep his place when Sturridge is back, but Sterling is making a big case to be included instead.

I suggested on the LFC thread that Coutinho needs to be pulled up (albeit with the 'Sturridge assist proviso') today he is not making a great case to be kept on instead of Sterling it must be said.

5 months into the season and Liverpool match threads are back to normal.

Note for everyone: this kind of post stops here. It is not just Turty's post. Talk about the match here, not who is or is not posting in the thread. There will be no excuses and cards and posts deleted.

Nice try at baiting with the 'retard' comment.

I rated you higher.

Johnson and skrtel need binning

Gerrard is a liability - lfc get more points without him

SlickRic

Henderson is non-existent too.

it's like Gerrard intimidates him or something.

Skrtel is proving to be more con's than pro's lately....i still see him getting a red card sometime soon.

emo72

have we changed our midfield to accomadate gerard? henderson is definitely a shadow of what he did recently. though it is stoke away where we always struggle, so all square at half time isnt so bad. dunno if i can stay watching this. too much pain.

kevohmsford

Liverpool's problem is just being sloppy in center midfield. Lucas needs to drop back and Gerrard push forward a bit.

Gerrard is bloody poison.

One good set piece will make him one of the best players on the pitch for some, just watch.

Lapin

In fairness Crouch has had so many former clubs, chances are, anytime he scores, it will be against one of them.

We just upgraded the central defence though!

Right rodgers, this is there for the taking if YOU sort this team out today.

Not saying it's what's happening at Pool, but Keane was absolutely a negative influence on players towards the end.

I think Gerrard is a different character though.

Get Sturridge on asap

Frank Black

Giving Stoke way too many chances.

Take coutinho off and play with ten

2nd half started like the 1st half ended

_Kaiser_

Very disappointing first half and I agree with the above that Gerrard is adding nothing and unnecessary given how we were playing without him.

Could go either way now

Where is Glen Johnson? Sterling seems to be doing all the defensive work on that wing!
