KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum It always happens with Stoke

We always seem to have a bad game against them but I still believe we are going to win the league.

Not just Stoke, every year there's a promoted team that manages to make us look daft. Though most years they'd have grabbed a 1-0 off us at Anfield and probably done the same again tonight.

I dont think we performed at all today. Simple as that. Stoke deserved a point. If we had a bit of luck, we might of come away with 3 points. But lets be honest, a point is disappointing but no need to critise people or players or Rafa, we could be here all night doing it.

But do not get me started with Lucas HAHAHA.

Merseyside Derby next monday.

everyone was praising Lucas a few days ago now they are on his back again *rolls eyes* stop being so fickle and give the lad a chance - its very hard to play well when you are in and out the team but even more difficult when you don't even get reserve action either! .... the biggest problem we have is the players who aren't in the first team aren't getting reserve games either - its about time we stopped using the reserves as a youth team and put the back ups in there to keep them sharp ..... then when we get injuries the players coming in will be closer to match ready - ie lucas today

i used to go and watch the stiffs knowing there would almost certainly be at least one first-teamer recovering from injury or who had lost his place .... nowadays its just kids playing .... i am not sure why this change has come about ...... do the players think they are too good for the stiffs these days? or is it a deliberate policy by the club?

but i dont like the line up made with kyut at front, we shld be more attacking with two strikers

A big, big disappointment which was perhaps inevitable after Rafa's jibe at Fergiescum.

I will be keeping everything crossed for today's game to end as a draw

Have to say rafa got the selection wrong,everyone knew it was goin to be a tough game,
so Torres or Keane had to start up front IMO

To me it did look a strong team to play Stoke though , it should have been a walk in the park for us, having said that they have had a good record against the top four since they have come up.

I think we missed Alonso, he sets the beat of the team and today we played well for the first 15 but then allowed them to dictate the beat of the game. With Alonso in the side and his ability to keep the ball and play a range of passes I think the outcome would have been different...

Anyway, a long way to go... believe... a vital aspect of winning trophies :-)

Alonso is a great team player and he is usually the anchor of our team, when he doesn't play we don't hold the ball well and seem to flap when we have it.
