Stoke (a) Match Thread

[Mathewbet1]

Suarez could run amock today given the service. get him running at them donks.

[Red Phoenix]

Forgot to put Luis back in fantasy team so he'll probably score two or three and set one up.

 

Am crap at that game anyway so don't suppose it matters...team looks great on paper, that's about it though.

[DooooodekNo5]

If we are to play a back 3 in this game I would rather see Carra in the middle than Coates, maybe do a sub later in the game, but I have never seen a former team mate get the better of Jamie Carragher. I fear Crouch might be too cunning for Coates (in an English way), he also hasn't played for a while, could be suseptible to giving a foul/penalty or getting a card, whereas JC doesn'y give that fear, Crouch ain't fast, but he's clever, he's a fucking spider!

 

Crouch hasn't started their last 4 games.

I wouldn't be surprised if all of the ex-Liverpool players who were doubts for this match (Adam, Owen) are all fit and rearing to go, with Crouch starting his first game after being on the bench for the last four.

I'd defo play Suso, he gets stuck in.

[markcd]

they're a team of cunts. Managed by a scruffy cunt. I hate them.

 

I would love to go there and pass it round them, but we won't. We'll get drawn in to their alehouse tactics and then we might nick a goal. Maybe.

[Red22]

Will be a much tougher test than the one Fulham provided. A proper test of whether Rodgers sticks with the style of play that got us the last result i.e. attack and press from the start.

 

Will know a lot after the first 20 mins or so.

Of course it's going to be a much tougher test than Fulham, Stoke are one of the best home sides in the league, and they are making every game into a dog fight.

 

Anyway, we've always tried to attack and press from the start under Rodgers. Never have we sat back and waited with men behind the ball. Sometimes it has not worked out, down to a number of things, but not because Rodgers has went into games instructing the team with a different style of play or philosophy.

[lamai]

would make my xmas if we won this one, can't see us getting anything other than a draw. please please please santa give us a win :wallbutt:

[G Richards]

Very hard place to go to. If we get a win today it will give us a lot of hope to fight for fourth. A win would be unexpected but lovely. A draw would be acceptable, though you don't go into any game looking for a draw. A loss will have the loons out in force, attacking Rodgers, FSG, Father Christmas and anyone else that comes to mind...

[tom1000]

sahin not strong enough to play at stoke

[tom1000]

Pretty confident actually. Stoke are fucking shit.

 

lets get at them from the off no messing about :drool:

;)This a big game tonight i wonder if sterling returns

[tom1000]

come on you mighty reds 3 point

[kalasoma]

I had no idea that we'd never won at the Britannia. Today would be a good day to change that stat.

[STARDELTA]

What do we do now?

Allen and Sterling back in?

 

I hope we go for the first goal early, throw everything at it, even if we're wide open and it's 5-4 in the first half.

 

Stoke will love to see us try and do the patient passing to find a way through their packed central areas, and then smack it up to Walters or Jones to bundle the defenders and get a mistake out of them.

 

Hit em hard, hit em first, rattle the cunts.

 

Not a game for Suso, perhaps...

Agreed, lets get fired into them too! AND STILL ROAST THEM AT FOOTBALL :yes:

[DooooodekNo5]

This the their first game since the Felliani stuff ?

 

Remember reading that the refs are going to start clamping down on the WWF after that game , probably fantasy but it would be nice if we somehow benefitted from the fallout of that Everton game.

 

We need to be in the refs ear constantly pressuring him and making a big fuss when they are doing their Hulk Hogan bear hugs , nothing to lose from trying.

[Dan]

we need to play through these shower of shithouses.
