Stoke Home - Sat 28/4

Mane not even on bench....Wonder if he will be out on Weds too?

 

So often it seems our players have what are described as 'minor/not serious' injuries like Mane's was yesterday then miss several games.

For anyone who has Sky but doesn't have the sports packages the game is being shown on Sky one.

Noticed that before, was just getting ready to walk to the local and start early drinking. Now I don't have to touch a drop until we go a goal down.

[Stickman]

Send these fucking inbred Ukippers down.

These boring horrible long throw cunts took four points off us in 07-08 which ultimately cost us the league so let's have some payback.

[Baltar]

Would have preferred we field our best 11, failure to win today would be a disaster. Hopefully the lads playing today will get the job done. 

[suzy]

Moreno in midfield - looks like Jurgen has been reading this forum again!

[Guest Alex_K]

Failure to win today is not a “disaster” you mug. Failure to progress on Wednesday would be the disaster.

We're not going to throw a 3 goal lead in Rome so I'm not so concerned about Wednesday.

We still need 4 more points from our last 3 games to guarantee a top 4 finish so not winning today against a mediocre team given what's at stake DOES constitute a disaster in my book.

[clangers]

I've always preferred the play your strongest team, win the game and then rest players once you're comfortably ahead. Manager's always do it the reverse and end up throwing on their best players in the 2nd half often trying to rescue a desperate situation.

 

I can't believe I'm nervous about a truly dire Stoke side. We absolutely must win this otherwise our game against Chelsea becomes a top four play off.

[Grinch]

Is he trying to get Ings to be Mane's back up?

Has he any choice?

[KMD7]

Hope we win

[Red74]

[Elite]

Just fucking win, would lift a lot of tension over the top 4 finish.

[sir roger]

Stoke aren’t brilliant by any means but they shouldn’t be getting relegated with the team they are putting out today , plus the likes of Berahino and Jesé.

We kind of played that approach that last weekend, got a 2 nil lead, made subs and hey presto 2-2. Until we get a better bench we can't afford to adopt that tactic unfortunately.

Mate, I'm just happy Jon Walters is no longer there to turn into prime form Alan Shearer for 90 minutes.

Interesting comments from Klopp.

Yeah but 90% of those players were Sturridge though. He'll be fine. I hope.

Said similar right after the Roma game too. We all know by now though, there's no atmosphere to speak of at league games.

---------Karius------

----Gomez--Klavan--VVD--

TAA-------------------Moreno

---Henderson---Gini---------

---------Firmino-----------

------Salah-----Ings-----

 

5-2-1-2 defend or 3-4-1-2 attack

I am standing by this. Firmino will be crucial when he drops deep in the midfield. I think he will be playing most of the game there whilst Ings will play off Salah.

anyone got a stream please?
