Stoke(A) Match Thread

[Adebisi]

Butland meant to be starting too which will be his first PL start I think. Expect him to save everything we throw at them then.

[Atticus Finch]

We'll probably concede early on from a set piece, we'll then throw the kitchen sink at Butland who will have the game of his life, have a feeling another Hull away coming here, hate it when we play catch up on Sunday....

[SCOUSE TAPAS]

We really need to win this but this is a really tough game. At home Stoke are tough to beat and in the last five home games they have beat Sunderland,Villa and the Chavs and drew with Cardiff and the blueshite. We have won one and drew one of the last five away games we have played.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Assaidi looks like he's been doing well for them so it's a bonus they'll have to do without him.

 

It's a tough fixture, but our recent away points haven't reflected the performances at City and Chelsea. With the possibility of Butland in goal and Sturridge back I'm pretty confident.

 

0-1 Suarez with a Charlie Adam red card.

[Nightcat]

Win at any cost as other have said already. It's going to be tough against horny Stoke and their gorgeous style of play.

[KopOut]

Defensively, I'm not confident, but assuming plenty of ball feed to Luis, no reason why we can't outscore them and get all three points.

2-3 or 3-4

It could be one of those games.

[MLB]

My gut feeling is that we'll win this one.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

My gut feeling is that we'll win this one.

Aside from telling me I shouldn't have added that extra chilli to yesterday's stir-dry, my gut is telling me we're going to struggle.

[MLB]

Could do, but if they are without Begovic and Huth then we should be able to score a couple today.

 

I'll be interested to see how that lad Pieters does for them because he's impressed me this season. Looks a good player.

[Tony Moanero]

Outside of the top 6/7 easily the hardest away game of the season.

2 draws and 3 losses since they came back up to the prem.

Stoke are a different team under Hughes.

 

Edit. I didn't realise Stoke had only lost once at home this season.

[Stickman]

If we have any intentions of challenging then this is a must win game especially with everyone around us winning, it shows that was can handle pressure and get results when we need to in tricky away games, and that in itself would be a massive boost for the side....and the fans.

[niallers]

Well in fairness we've had, including today's game, 4 very tough away games in a row. With all our home games to come against top sides and this little nasty away run, hopefully we'll be able to pull away, should we still be in top 4, or catch up any ground lost over Xmas/Jan.

[Stickman]

I keep hearing we have all these home games against the top sides like we only have to turn up to beat them.....

True we still have to beat them at home but I'd rather be 2 or 3 points behind now and have our run of fixtures at home than the other way around.

[sir roger]

I think if we press the ball like we have done recently & try to get forward we will win. If we sit back & try to hit them on the break we will have a tough game.

 

On a separate matter for any betting gurus out there, how come Stoke are unbeaten in their last 7 homes & we have the worst away record of the top 9, but Stoke are 11/2 to win today ?

[stringvest]

My old man was towed by Ryan Shawcross' dad earlier this week.

 

That's my contribution to this thread.

 

let's hope Suarez isn't toed all round the park by Shawcross Junior.

[Fi!]

As long as Suarez's legs are still intact, we are looking at a win.

 

Of course there could be the studs up knee high tackles that the referee will never see.  

[Gym Beglin]

No Begovic, he always plays a blinder.

[Jay86]

I can see Butland having a blinder but us still winning by a few. 3-1, Suarez 2.

[Razoray]

As expected: Confirmed #LFC team v @stokecity: Mignolet, Johnson, Cissokho, Skrtel, Toure, Lucas, Gerrard, Henderson, Sterling, Coutinho, Suarez.

[LFC 6 Times]

Dissapointed no Sakho, BR said is his presser he would be in squad hopefully not an injury setback. Daniel to come and win it for us.

[RazorBack]

If anyone's got a link like Ustream.tv with HD flash stream it would be much appreciated, as this one does not seem to be working anymore..

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

hard place to go to but these are the places you need to get results. Match them physically and don't give an inch. And above all never surrender, Guffaw guffaw.

[Fi!]

Any names for the bench please? Sturridge?
