Stoke (A): Build Up

The other thing is that Henderson's feet aren't that fast either, his stepovers aren't particularly quick. But that's more than enough to bambozzle LFC's worst ever purchase.

Lovren is just utter garbage.

Bib theory or insider?

Looks like we're going all out for the kill against Stoke then. #vengeance

Ibe Coutinho Lallana
Benteke

Which means Hendo and Milner definitely playing the two behind with no room for Lucas or Can.

[ChesterDave]

No Firmino either then

[BigChief]

Too early for him

[Paddy]

No Firmino either then

Could easily play Coutinho on the left and Firmino in the middle. Might be that from 60 onwards if not going to plan.

[Bender]

Lack of fitness cited for Firmino not making the Stoke game

[Fosterbloke]

Why is Coutinho ok but Firmino not then? Not bothered to be honest.

I reckon it'll be Ings alongside Benteke.

I assumed because he's new, not settled into a house. New to the league etc etc they are giving him more time.

[Fosterbloke]

Ah yes that would make sense.

I heard or read that Coutinho came back in excellent condition, not that Firmino came back as a fat ******* or anything but Coutinho's fitness was surprisingly good considering being late back etc. I can't remember where i heard this and may have just made it up. Sorry

[RedReet]

No surprise to see Ibe start, he was probably Rodger's easiest pick. Looking like it will just be the Helsinki team then with Benteke for Ings one would imagine.
