Liverpool V Stoke City Match Thread

Since our subs we've been poor. Lost the solidity in midfield without lucas and look panicked at back since lovren came on. We were much the better side before the changes

[Buzzo]

I thought it was first day at management school, throwing more forwards on doesn't help you win a game.

If you need to defend you don't just throw defenders on.

[Chris]

Booomm! Thank **** for that.

[Slinky Skills]

Thank ****.

Clean Sheeeet

[Muddled]

That looks like a rock solid back four to me

First clean sheet for ages here we come!

Nailed it.

closer to top 4 than relegation

Much better display second half, Kolo and Lucas have to be the first names on the team sheet week in week out now. massive 3 points, great clean sheet. Madness from the boss after what happened in Ludogorets to do the same thing again and remove an attacker and invite them on. Thank **** we didn't capitulate this time. Great from Mig today too, will help him no end.

[EwarWoo]

3 points at least.

Oh thank **** for that! Though fir a second it might be another one of those ****ty weeks! My iphone 6 plus dropped from the table at work & cracked my screen only a couple of hours ago

Played some quality football in that second half and looked like scoring (and did obviously)

Not got a better chance to get a bit of momentum going now, away to bottom of the league, home to a woeful Sunderland side then a CL group decider.

I doubt Kolo can play every game at 33. Even Gerrard was rested until the last 15 minutes today but hopefully he should play most of the games from now on.

Rodgers showed his lack of confidence in the last few minutes though so we were lucky there.

Still a win's a win as they say

[Sarb]

Massive win that. Can finally watch MOTD

Let's hope we can go on a winning run now

[Kenneth]

Obvious glad we won, but that was another disgraceful performance. Law of averages says we'll win occasionally but that was a lucky result against a very average side, at home.

this.

We were the better side in the second half & then we made the subs. Lucas was our best player today & we lost that solidity in the middle & although Coutinho was dross he was subbed for Lovren & we dropped so deep again like Ludogrets. A win is a win but we scraped it in the end.

Hopefully Rodgers can finally see that Lucas has to play at DM & the difference he made to the CB's was clearly evident. Keep that and get Lallana in instead of Coutinho and that's a solid unit. Scraped a win in the end at home to a poor Stoke side.
