Stoke v Liverpool match thread

Half Time

Again what was with lucas. the stike lad didn't get the ball and then f**king body checked lucas and no free??????????

Stoke are, without a doubt, the worst side I've ever seen in the Premier League and the sooner they go down the better. They make Allardyce's Bolton look like Brazil.

We won't score and Scum will win

come on you miserable sod. at least hope we'll win before throwing in the towel. jeez. i hope none of the players are as easy to give in as you are.

even if they score, we've got enough to score 2.

torres is on the bench and he needs to come on. i'd bring both of them on - replace benayoun and lucas and bring them both on.

this will be where the title challenge starts not where it ends.

[Joe King]

thats what being a supporter is all about eh?

I'm just being realistic. Do I think we can score? Nope.

of course I forgot they will get 30 odd points for winning and that means its almost mathematically impossible to catch them. **** I didn't think, our title is over.

It will be. I doubt we will get the right result in March against them which inevitably will crush our hopes.

[wiw]

ref is a complete cunt

[lickedlollipop]

thats fair enough but then it would be march that ends our title hopes not today

This is the day where the title challenge ends

Lol. why bother.

Rafa needs to change this

The whole Premier League chase now rests on one half. Against Stoke. This is all about Rafa now and how good he is as a manager. Players are doing their jobs ok, but Rafa needs identify and change. If he does this he is the best manager in the world this year. End of.

However, if he waits 'til the mandatory 70 mins before making any changes...........!

We got away with a poor half there - lucky to be level. Hopefully they will tire a little in the second half with the pressure of the big game. They are certainly expecting a draw or better now and we should have some space for Stevie and hopefully Nando and Babel to exploit. Mr Tover - a little negative, sir.

I just wish we would stop fannying around with the ball in our own half and get on with pushing forward. They are there to be had. The more we dawdle the more confident they will get and they have looked the most likely to score so far.

Chelsea have a good away record this season and a very good record away to man u, I wouldn't bet on them winning tomorrow.
Plus we still have torres, keane and babel on the bench so should be able to get a goal
