Stoke (A) match thread

[kemm1]

It's a surprise we don't seem to have a temporary plan b to suit the players we have until we can get better ones.

We also don't seem to be looking at any quality players for the next window.

Which quality players do you think we could get?

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Losing faith in Rodgers, LITERALLY the only sign of his 'style' was us drawing Stoke pressure on in the worst areas of the pitch.

Shelvey got a full game? Seriously? He didn't wanna know, tactically he wasn't apart of the midfield or the front line! Not even in between the lines. What is that formation?

Arrrgh so frustrating, we'll get top half, IF we buy well.

[Mattshark]

Its not just solely about having quality players its about competing for possession.

Stoke and Villa dont have quality players either but it hasnt stopped them sticking 6 past us in the games weve played against them

I don't think the two games can be compared to be honest.
We were much better in the Villa game with around play and cohesion than today but we we caught on the counter, that wasn't the case today. We still know we desperately lack goals though and we will always have games like this with that issue. Seems some people have some ridiculous expectations of them team right now. We have a lot rebuilding to do.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Stoke and Villa are not teams full of goals an we've conceded 6 against them.

----------------Reina
Johnson---Skrtel----Agger---Enrique

Is that really so much worse than..

--------------Schezney
Sagna--Mertesaker--Vermalen--Gibbs

?? Yet we look a shambles, we take the piss out of Arsenals back line but they're much better IMO.. Organised, right things in the right area.

"Losing faith in Rodgers" - Too soon - chelski knerjerk - dont go there. Invest at least 3 years in a manager - we are LFC. It takes time to build.

I think you (Edit: Mattshark)are being far too positive about the Villa game.

Yes their goals were from our mistakes but they are ****ing wank and if we played well we would have scored more than 1 goal.

We were poor today and we were poor against Villa.

[Mattshark]

Our defence and midfield is piss poor IMO, if teams have the sense to press us w will lose most of the time. Buying Sturridge wont help with that. I have no solution but IMO we are just sinking.

No, if we can score more it will help a lot. The issue for me is midfield, we need better protection for the back line.

Yes and if we could have scored earlier in that game I suspect Villa would have capitulated.

Tbf I never really had it in the 1st place- just not experienced enough. Not that he won't get my support.
