Stoke City vs Liverpool FC post match thread

In 90 mins of getting dicked on then yes, 3 'sitters' is a decent defensive return.

[Craig_H]

I dont consider allowing 3 piss easy chances which, on any other day, would result in conceding 3 goals, to be an example of particularly good defending.

But you're in a zone whereby you have to **** on anything that we did at Stoke, so fair enough. You took that result worse than i did, and i was initially irrationally furious.

[Kenneth]

So praising Stoke for defending well is ****ting on what we did is it? Not the exact opposite? Oh no.

It's not about you saying they defended well. I've noticed since Saturday's game finished, how you've been on a total downer with us, viewed everything in a negative light and basically slagged us off. You've not had a remotely good word to say about our performance. It hasnt exactly been subtle.

[Kenneth]

I don't think I've been particularly critical of our performance. I recall saying Kuyt was rubbish and Carra ****ed up, but I also said Agger was great. What I haven't joined in with is the cathartic but largely misplaced ref and/or stoke bashing which I'm sure has stood out here.

It's true that i've been more annoyed about actually losing the game rather than enthused about it showing the potential to win more games in the future. It was a damaging result, I think that's pretty normal.

[Craig_H]

Any loss is damaging, but the way it happen equates to it being a freak result.

If we start being outplayed by basically everyone, as was happening under the fraudster, then i will seriously worry. But dominating a team and failing to acquire what would've been a comfortably deserved win, whilst annoying, isnt something to get too depressed about. That level of performance, on a consistent basis, will see us right. Playing like that and losing, is a bit of a freak occurance and will be a rarity.

It was a game of second wind after an internaional week on a wheat field of a pitch after a heavy rain against a team that had sat on their thumbs for 7 days.

It was just bad fixture timing for us to play them.

On a related note, ManU have 6 home games after their CL matches, where as ManC have 6 aways.

Conspiracy??

[sssiho]

Yes, they got the ball in the back of the net, we did'nt. Okay it was a dodgy decision and I agree they were ****e but they still scored and we did not, so they deserve the points, whether we like it or not.

[Roboklopp]

Knew Scum had 6 homies, didn't realise Citeh had 6 away. Pretty shocking.

The Youtube clip of all the bad refereeing decisions has been removed due to a claim by the FA Premier League - cos it's ****en embarrassing for them, the clowns!

The fixtures work such that weekends when Man Utd are at home Man City are away and vice versa. So if the fixtures somehow put Man Utd at home on those weekend Man City would have to be away.

[Roboklopp]

Aye, realised that after I'd posted. Nontheless, complete ****ing joke.

Hold on though, you said "I thought we deserved a draw, no more no less, there were too many players that were below par" - so we didnt deserve to win, because too many players were below par. Yet, Stoke were utterly ****, with even MORE players below par - and you think they deserved to win?

I dont see much consistency in that argument, personally.
