[COC] Stoke (H): The Match

[Nicey]

clearly offside even on a ****ty 64 bit steam I could see that ... the assistants get too much of an easy ride at anfield ... the team should be surrounded him giving him what for

[The_weatherman]

What a ****e first half. Not because of application and effort but for lack of ability and cutting edge.

Don't need Milner and Henderson playing in the same side. Both bring the same attributes to the table.

Agree, one of them off, Henderson doesn't look right, really poor. I could see them both jacked off for Allen and Ibe.

[danperkins]

Henderson, Can or Milner could easily be taken off. Lucas on his own there.

[Muddled]

I think it's fair to say we've got our game plan wrong. Stoke rode the first ten minutes of pressure and then grew into the game; they've been clever in their passing, created more chances and had more of the ball. We've not been wishing a whisker of their box and have been reduced to speculative efforts from range.

A few tweaks and a big improvement needed.

[BobTheCharmer]

Henderson is infuriating at times, runs wide and clips the ball down the line every ****ing time. Ah well. Game on.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Its our midfield that worries me, our defence gets **** all protection and our forwards get **** all support. Because they're not at vital ends of the pitch they get overlooked. It is seriously the worst midfield I've seen us have, in terms of quality on the ball and passing, the players just aren't good enough.

[Vermilion]

ah bollocks! wtf are we like ffs!

[frank the tank]

That was a **** mistake from the lino......really ****e....

Will be interesting second half. I think the players looked a bit ****in wrecked though. It would probably be a good game for joe Allen....at least he is fresh....

****in come on redmen...

[Tribute]

If we go out tonight, I can see a big summer clear out from Klopp. Never know which LFC will turn up. Tonight it's been the apathetic, **** one.

[Rich]

Poor defending in the build up to their goal but our defensive line was sound and did its job. A pity the assistant couldn't do his.

[Maxiedge]

What a ****e first half. Not because of application and effort but for lack of ability and cutting edge.

Don't need Milner and Henderson playing in the same side. Both bring the same attributes to the table.

[cream]

We've been terrible, these players clearly unable to perform on a regular basis. No consistency from anyone.

[inijjer]

We aren't getting any support to firmino from either lallana or Milner. We look completely toothless in attack.

I don't mind a long ball when they've got space behind them but playing the ball side to side in midfield so they can get in position and then lumping it forward for aerial duels is pointless. If that's the tactic we should have started benteke

[BobTheCharmer]

Get benteke on ffs. We keep pumping long balls to firmino. Pointless.

[Fosterbloke]

Why were none of our players screaming at the ref at half time?

Disgracefully weak.
