Stoke (a) Match Thread

Appalling

[Bobby Hundreds]

We aren't though BH. We're just different

 

I'm trying to be positive when I feel like killing the lot of them.

[stringvest]

Stevie has played some of the worst passes I've ever seen in this half.

 

But he's not even in our three worst players today. That says everything about how we're playing.

[Guest San Don]

Well, got off to a great start! Who'd have thought webb would give us a pen against the local hero shawcross and in big bad boy suarez's favour?

 

Shocking keeping by reina on the first though. Didnt stand up, went down before fat lad had hit the ball and even went the wrong way! Cant blame him for the second as he was blocked off.

 

Agger and Skrtel look uncomfortable to say the least. Shelvey, just dont know what people see in him tbh. Played some shocking balls tonight. Cant see why people rave over suso either if Im honest.

 

rodgers needs to sort this shit out. Whoever he has a defensive coach needs sacking off because since clark left, we've been a complete and utter joke at the back.

 

45 minutes to turn it around. One can always hope!

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Absolutely right; so to test the theory, we put the same team out against Stoke and see how they perform. Comparisons can then be drawn.

 

Hmn.

 

All that stuff you've been going on about better balance in midfield, and having a pop at Allen, yadda yadda. This is why we can't base anything on one game against the worst away team in the league.

 

Henderson needs to come on for Shelvey in my opinion. Gerrard could do with coming off, too. However, my first move would be Downing off for Sterling.

[amli]

Reina

Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique

Lucas Henderson

Downing Suso Gerrard

Suarez

 

I'd go that second half. Henderson for Shelvey.

 

Yep

[KevieG]

shelvey needs to come off. awful.

 

We could still win this one but we need stevie playing off suarez.

[Ginny]

Onder what Brendan is saying to them now

[Paulie Dangerously]

Onder what Brendan is saying to them now

 

"Good possession lads, keep it up"

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Fucking atrocious. Jonjo playing like shit. Downing anonymous and cowardly once again. Steven carrying on his two years of shite performances and lack of captaincy. It's just not good enough.

[mht1892]

Shelvey got to go off.

[Jairzinho]

If Suso starts the second half on the left, Gerrard is playing as sweeper, and Shelvey is still on the pitch, I'm going to write Brendan a stern letter.

[Red_or_Dead]

Ar well, we're playing Stoke. Written this off before the game as we don't win here. If we manage to get something then its a good result against these negative bastards. Fucking hate stoke - they're definitely in the champions league places of teams to hate.

[Jennings]

Shelvey, Downing and Suso not quite looking first team players at the moment.

[smicer07]

Where's our intelligence when we go a goal up? We get shit scared and lose focus and before we know it our shit defence has conceded 2. Utter wank.

[DooooodekNo5]

After that hectic start where they completely battered us weve been quite good , Lucas has been superb , that ball for Shelvey was class but Shelvey couldn't control what was a simple ball.

 

I really like Jonjo but hes been terrible in this game and has been off it for quite a while.

 

Hes so slow and casual about things that it just makes him sloppy , seems to think he has more time when its never the case.

 

Suso has done allright , lovely pass into Suarez which he couldn't control.

[Barzini]

Sickening that we handed them back the momentum just after we got our noses in front, they got their tails up and settled into their usual high intensity game.

 

A couple of times we've looked as though we can break through with Suarez probably being the most likely. We're going to need more than that though as we look as if we've still got another defensive fuck-up in us.

 

Shelvey needs hooked now.

[J-V]

Onder what Brendan is saying to them now

 

He can talk a good talk, can't back it up mind.

 

Shelvey should be no where near this team.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Fucking cunt of a presenter doing his best to call Suarez a diver

[Jairzinho]

Glad Redknapp is sticking it to that snidey Sky gimp.

[corro]

Hmn.

Gerrard off for who? Shelvey, Suso off for Sterling and Henderson.

[Guest San Don]

Fucking cunt of a presenter doing his best to call Suarez a diver

 

 

He was well out of order there the snivelling little runt.

[Red House]

Rodgers is truly one of the worst tacticians in the league. He's got one fucking ideology and that's it. If it works good, but when it doesn't he just hasn't got a fucking clue.

 

Someone should send him on a course about studying some of the great defensive tactical coaches, like he's apparently been doing with observing great possession teams, coz' the ease with which opposition players get in between our midfield and defensive line is utterly unacceptable at this level. He could really learn one thing or two about Tony fucking Pulis about defense organisation right now.

[stringvest]

Shelvey' date=' Downing and Suso not quite looking first team players at the moment.[/quote']

 

There's a reason for that.

[Ginny]

Is this presenter trying to make a name for himself here? Fuckin queg
