Liverpool FC vs Stoke City match thread

[Barnie7]

dont like the look of that line up at all , wheres Maxi & why all of a sudden are we so defensive???

[Mostar]

Stoke lineup : Sorensen; Woodgate, Shawcross, Huth, Wilson; Delap, Whelan, Palacios, Etherington; Crouch, Walters.

Basically we are matching their 3 CBs lineup.

[Slinky Skills]

Hyppia is at the ground supposedly, coming on the pitch at HT.

Legend!

[McDermotX]

So five at the back then with the full backs seemingly bombing on and providing all the width?

Huge responsibility on Enrique and Johnson today.

Wouldn't mind seeing some end product from Jose today, after his good start to the season with us.

A somewhat interesting lineup there, which if we dominate the game, as we should, could yield some good chances being created. Downing probably more tucked inside today perhaps ?
No excuses today really.

[Daffy Duck]

What the **** is that team?
Where's Agger?

[Mostar]

Hopefully it stays that way..

@OptaJoe
0 - Stoke have never won away in the league v Liverpool in 48 games (D9 L39), a top-flight record for winless games at a single club. Woe

[Assassin]

What the **** is that team?
Where's Agger?

His latest tattoo hasnt healed enough for him to play

[Vermilion]

Oh ffs, **** off Crouch!


Just getting that in early.

[RedReet]

It's 3 at the back then.

I hope so. Rather that than see Carra play as a DM.

Gonna be a classic.

[Exiled_red]

Is Agger injured or just rested?

That's the key to the game for me today.

If they can give us an offensive support without jeopardizing the defensive duties they will be very important to our success against Stoke.

I think he got a knock against City, when he won that penalty. Maybe he's just rested as a precaution.

[Craig_H]

Hope I'm wrong but unless SG delivers, there's not a whole lot of goal threat in that XI.

[Exiled_red]

If we're playing 3 centre backs and Johnson and Enrique as wingbacks it seems odd that Downing plays.

Are you at the game?
