Liverpool vs Stoke City 7.45 PM 26/1/16 League Cup Semi Final 2nd Leg

Osmosis Jones

Moreno completely lost the run of Walters

Buford T. Justice XIX

Firmino and Lallana playing well tonight. Scoring seems to agree with their confidence.

It was actually Sakho, you can see Moreno scream at him. Sakho went too far to the right knowing he has to cover for Kolos lack of pace. Look at where Walters ends up... how can the left back go there? They have a right back.

Ah Can.

Both sides pressing everyone in the middle of the pitch. I reckon there'll be some space to exploit later on in the game if it continues at this pace.

Both sides have the players to exploit it, if they don't overdo it early on.

Osmosis Jones

Brutal free kick.

5starpool

What a waste of a free.

tinpib

Oh dear. LOLz on that free kick.

That was a deafening groan from the crowd.

Turtyturd

A Robert Huth set piece.

Dreadful. If Stoke had been wise to it, they could've caused us a problem on the break.

I've no issue with trying to be clever with a free kick but they never work out for us, do they?

Really poor game this.

Firmino's been impressive so far. Winning almost everything.

Buford T. Justice XIX

I wonder will Stoke score with their first shot on target, seems to be a theme for us this season.

Apologies:

Double post.

Grayditch

I like that we made Arnautovic pirouette back to his own half.

Turtyturd

Can giving Mignolet a bollocking.

BorneTobyWilde

Space is tight
Very much everyone in center of pitch

Harry Palmr

Has Gerrard been influencing Hendo on the training pitch again?

Grayditch

That bogey free kick was about 4 cementers away from being an accidentally brilliant move.

5starpool

We're very tentative tonight. This will get nervy the longer it stays goal less as we'll tend to get deeper and let them have it.

Sakho and Henderson 2 worse players on the park by a country mile

Osmosis Jones

Bojan could be booked for that, just a block

citytillidie

In before when does away goals count to say they will only count after extra time

Charlie19

That would've been sweet.

5starpool

Can wasn't far away with the shot, but generally I hate seeing players like Can shoot from out there.

At least it stopped raining.

So if Stoke were 2-1 up at 90 minutes, it goes to extra-time.

And if they remain 2-1 up at 120 minutes, they win?

That doesn't seem fair?

BorneTobyWilde

Go Can you're our man
If no one can then Can can

Turtyturd

Flanagan's passing has been fairly sh!te so far.

That's correct. I think it is seen to balance out the effect of having extra time at home for the home team in the 2nd leg.

I'm at the match and it hasn't rained all evening

Harry Palmr

Lucas and Firmino marking Crouch maes perfect sense doesn't it?!

5starpool

Lallana should have taken the shot there instead of that terrible pass. Even a good pass would have been a worse option I think.

Nice one.


Fecking day trippers, always on their phones.

Osmosis Jones

Henderson really doesn't want to play the simple passes

BorneTobyWilde

Klopp seeing things he wants to change and eager to get messages out there.

Grayditch

SCORE.

KILL GAME.

A mod should automatically stick the answer to this into the OP for every League Cup round.

NukaCola

Never going to score from there ffs.....

Osmosis Jones

That's a criminal offside, worst way to lose an attack

BullBlackNova

FFS Henderson.

Driving me spare that he does that every time the ball comes near him.

You'd have to wonder what Joe Allen has to do to get a game. He's done well when called upon.

Only just online now.

Very impressed how Liverpool have handled this signing. Only been rumours but they managed get him in and on the bench before even announcing the signing.

What a coup.

Osmosis Jones

That's such bad defending, he's well off though.

Grayditch

Lovely goal.

5starpool

Too easy. You could see the numbers they had there. FFS.

We'll have to have better ideas in the second half.

Offside too, well done linesman.
