Liverpool v Stoke City (Premier League, Saturday, 29th November 2014)

[Mathewbet1]

Mc Lovren and Ming not laid   will see to that.

[Paco]

“We need the supporters to really get behind the team and stay with us all the way through. Our objective is simply to win. Stoke will be hard to break down and it might be a 1-0 game.”

 

what odds would you get on us keeping a clean sheet and winning 1 nil?

[Paco]

Since the start of last season, only the ever self-destructive Tottenham (23) have committed more errors leading to an opposition goal than Liverpool (18) and Arsenal (13). If these mistakes were corrected, the clubs could challenge for the title. Add to this Arsenal’s insistence on their full-backs – and sometimes a centre-back too – attacking simultaneously and you have the unquestionable conclusion that both teams are the makers of their own downfall.

 

Both Arsenal and Liverpool invested heavily this summer but both overlooked glaring issues. That Wenger is the only man who did not see the need to buy a defensive midfielder during the summer is utterly bemusing, while Brendan Rodgers is seemingly the only person who sees no need to replace Gerrard at the base of his midfield. In a season so far dominated by a Chelsea side that identified and resolved their problem areas in the summer effectively, the travails of Arsenal and Liverpool are even more apparent.

Suppose it depends how you define those errors leading to a goal but i'd say 30 is nearer the truth.

[Iceman]

3-1 to us, Gerrard with a brace and Lambo with a sweet volley to seal it. 

[Pan77]

We've got absolutely no chance of winning this game. Be interesting to see if he does rest Gerrard.

I'd imagine if we lose this and/or the Basel game, that'll be the end of Rodgers.

[Tyler Durden]

No doubt another embarrassment is on the cards. Can we please send Johnson in to their dressing room so he can contract the illness.

 

I'm starting to want the manger sacked on the principle alone of playing Johnson, it's a fucking insult paying to watch the cunt.

[Dr. J]

I don't think he'll be sacked, unless it's relegation type catastrophe, which is highly unlikely. The owners gave him a fat contract extension and would be loathe to eat yet another manager's contract so soon after Kenny and Woy.

 

No, what's more likely is that Rodgers has to finish out the year and realize its his career on the line. If we really do go belly up the rest of the way he'll never come near another big club, whereas if he walks before things go too bad he can blame it on circumstances beyond him. The longer he stays, the longer it's all him.

Yea I can't see them sacking him unless we are in the bottom 3 and they have no choice. I think he might at some point arrest this slide and we'll end up about 7th, his ignorance to actually stopping teams from scoring will be his downfall and I can't see him being here in12 months unless he seriously bucks his ideas up and accepts the holes in his style. It's not poor management surrounding yourself with specialist coaches in your weak areas but he seems oblivious to it or won't accept it.

 

For someone who was apparently mentored by Mourihno his lack of a defensive strategy is frightening.

Half the Stoke team have caught pig aids from the locals but still dreading this.

So, not a positive thread then?

It's HIV postive now that you have infected it.

Oh dear!

Oh dear!

 

Indeed.

[Brigant Moloch]

BARS/PUBS:

 

Very few today. None in the city as far as I can tell, but there's probably a few furtive ones. For Londoners, there's one in Camden High Street; if you're in mancland there's one in Fallowfield and if you're in Glasgow there's one in Sauchiehall Street. Anyway, here's the list:

Gets beaten for pace by Charlie Adam - that's a fucking classic !

Mind you, if it happens I would expect that to be his last appearance in our colours.

[Jairzinho]

He could get beaten for pace by Eamonn Holmes and he'd still play the next game.

[halewood pete]

Fancy a 2-0 win for us,hope Lambert gets them both down the kop end.

[magicrat]

I fancy going out this evening for a few beers and not have to get the shit ripped out of me by a couple of bluenose mates . Couldn't give a fuck who scores , what the scoreline just as long as we beat these alehouse twats.

[scudger99]

I hope Gerrard is at the front end of things to give Lambert the ball.  That's provided they're both playing.  These cunts are just the sort of shower of shite that could rain on our parade today. 

[Grinch]

Part of me keeps looking at the fixtures and wonders about how much better things would look if we win the games we should do, the other part remembers all the easy games we've deserved to lose this year and says don't do it to yourself.

 

Stoke at home and tbh I think we really need this flu bug to damage them badly.  Would help if Lovren and Johnson caught it too.

[Allan]

Mignolet, Johnson, Enrique, Skrtel, Toure, Lucas, Allen, Henderson, Coutinho, Sterling, Lambert.

 

Jones, Lovren, Moreno, Lallana, Gerrard, Markovic, Can.

[El Dangerous]

Flu Bug could overtake OG as our most important player this season.
