Liverpool V Stoke City Match Thread

[Daniel 7]

Preferring seeing Lucas there in front of the defence, he's having a good game so far. Henderson hasn't been up to much but is at least pressing. The set pieces have been utterly dire as has the movement inside the box. Its ****ing criminal that its come to this after last season.

Lovely run from Cout

[RichC]

Great run from Phil, lack of support though

[danperkins]

How bad has Coutinho been.. Shocking performance

[RichC]

Terrible touch from Phil after that brilliant run a minute earlier.

[SK]

what a frustrating player couthino is.

[kev776]

Where is Borini?

[RichC]

what a frustrating player couthino is.

He's got it all but seems to struggle to produce it consistently enough

[kev776]

Zero shots on target from either team - game is right in the balance

The lack of any sort of quality is worrying for us. We genuinely look like a mid table club. Lucas has been excellent though.

87 million worth of talent on the bench to come on though

[danperkins]

What a poor standard of football. Lucas and Cbs have been good and lambert has done ok. Coutinho, hendo and Allen have been ****e. Fullbacks doing nothing aswell.

[Jaymo]

What game is this Ref watching? I'm certain its not the same one I am.

We look half decent at the back, despite Glen "payday" Johnson's attempt to get mugged in possession. But i'm putting this mainly down to their play, other than our brilliant defensive work.

However, we need to get more runners infront of the ball, a few times it's just been lambert ahead of the ball with 7 stoke players behind it. We'll never score if that continues.

[ChrisDR1968]

I'm not sure Coutinho and Stirling should be in the same side. We're a bit lightweight in midfield when they are.

Lallana should come on in the second half for Coutinho fingers crossed

[Buzzo]

No shots on target from either team in 45 mins of football.

[G]

We didn't even win the possession stats in that half, against Stoke, at home!

[vlahka]

Half those wayward balls from coutinho would of found players if said players werent all made of lead weight and never moved. What a ****house team with ****house fullbacks and a ****house crowd drowned out by the stoke fans. Also rodgers ****house for constantly choosing johnson.
