Stoke City vs Liverpool FC post match thread

[Chris]

We just have really bad luck, really often. A ****ter really.

Nope, the performance in the same game last season was disgusting, this was just some bad luck and a bit of poor finishing.

[Pablo]

I have to admit Carragher's hoofing today left me in a rage. He is the antitheses of everything about the way we are trying to play football these days

[Kenneth]

But anyhoo, positives.

If Stoke don't get a lucky penalty, we are here discussing our lack of ability to finish a game off, but we talk about the chances we did create, our lack of luck and getting a point away from home and if we can get a result at Spurs, we're on target for four points agains a possible six in two tough away games.

So in essence, Clattenburg is to blame.

If it wasn't an obvious penalty, I'd agree.

[Shaggy]

and does this way of playing give you encouragement going forwards? I know ultimately its about putting it in the net, but I can see a total change in build up these days and its refreshing to see.

Yeah man I'm encouraged. We murdered them. Can't remember any team doing that to Stoke at their place. Adam, Lucas and Henderson were below par but we still hammered them and contrived to lose. Massively annoyed at the moment but tomorrow I'll be encouraged and look forward to righting a few wrongs in the next game.

And a few face rubs maybe..?

I held my piss for 20min. This game didnt deserve that special treatment!!

[Fredo]

Horribly disappointing though, extremely annoyed and pissed off despite the obvious encouragement of our performance all round. We were so dominant which makes the result even more unbearable.

Can I just say that Clattenburg is a ****ing cuntish whore of a ****bag. What more could we do today against 12 men kicking the **** out of us without anything being done about it. Three clear cut penalties to us, what does the cunt do? Nothing. Had a point to prove after the last time he reffed us. ****ing fed up with it all, the fun is gone when ****ing ****bags like him is allowed onto a pitch. Wish I could have met him right now, I hear prison food is quite good. How the players stay calm is beyond me, that noone went up to him and gave him a bollocking at the end is unbelievable. Cunt.

All our rivals won as well

Yep and that bit around 84 mins where he tried the play maker stuff was funny as hell

As some one said earlier, he is losing the right to start every game.

Just our luck

it's stoke away, big players, long balls, very local home support, ****ing windy, long grass and tight touchlines. it is a ****ing hard away game. it was always going to be. similar in ways to when we played at wimbledon.

yet we controlled large parts of the game, we kept calm and played some decent stuff, another day the pen isn't given, another day Luis doesn't miss an open goal, henderson finds the net. plenty of positives. it's not like the dark away games when we were dire to watch. i still found plenty to enjoy. if we keep playing like that and the players have got to know each other better, we'll win plenty of matches. too many people want it all to instant. teams don't go from 6th to 1st within a summer break. a little reality is needed.

Oh and Coates won't be starting any league games soon, no ****ing way. the speed would of the league will find him out. he needs to watch from the bench and learn from close up. come january he'll be knocking on the door.

Carragher is already found out and he played in the league for ages. He must be replaced as soon as possible. He make mistake after mistake. Some of them very big mistakes that cost us points. He should have been sent off against Sunderland and he gave away the pen today.

We have one big weakness in the starting XI at the moment and that weakness is Carragher.
