KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Stoke draw not a bad result, despite current form.

people always seem to forget that rafa picks the team - so if we have a crap team out for the match it is HIS fault

we didnt deserve to win the match full stop , also [oops] me dead WHAT DOES PACHECO NEED TO DO TO GET A GAME!!!! he is one of our best fit players at present in my opinion

Fine it aint a bad result if you wish to look at it that way.

But how do feel after watching the players play today at stoke, with the thought in mind that we have spurs next?

eh this game was just pure bad luck (and boy are we on a streak of bad luck)...true we had an incredibly weak starting 11 out there, but our weak 11 grinded out a 1-0 lead through the whole game, and its not like we had extraordinary players on the bench. Maxi who just arrived and came in the match at a relatively appropriate time, ad Aqua, who obviously isnt quite ready since Rafa doesnt believe in him just yet (and i turly believe he wouldve gotten man handled in this match). I also believe young ´fit´ players against a phyiscal side like Stoke wouldnt cut it(pacheco, darby, spearing)

Anyway Rafa did give Maxi and Aqua a go at the end just to bring in new legs and tire out the oppoenent, but stoke was far too hot...till next match i guess

ok some players might be a bit light for the pl, but a bit of skill go's a long way, id hope we would never go into a game with stoke saying lets bully them, we should be able to pass them to death.

are you mad? deluded perhaps? there was no bad luck involved - bad refereeing and poor management and tactics from rafa were the problem ..... i am sick of people talking about the crap we are watching being down to bad luck

we may as well have given the kids a chance and actually tried to win ..... a physical side like stoke is the perfect time to get them out there and finding out what they are truly made of ...... hiding them away in case they might get kicked is pathetic and pointless - they need to be in the mix in these types of games if they are ever to make it as pros

Stoke boss Tony Pulis also praised Liverpool's performance, saying: "It was a scrappy game but I thought Liverpool's attitude and commitment today was first class. They had a right go."

Considering the probable state of moral amongst the team at the mo., I tend to agree with out learned friend.

Greekobabe was pretty damned good today don't you think?

Considering all good result. But what a pain in the butt the way we gave away 2 points, I can't bear to watch corners anymore. Kuyt's chance at the end just summed up our season, so near yet miles away

Bitters did us a bit of a favour today though, and Tottingham dropped 2 points too.
All is not lost yet. Keep the faith.

sad that you are even saying that growly ...... sorry but i can't agree with you .... if you are saying it was a miracle we scraped a draw with the shower of [oops] that rafa picked, then yes it was ...... if you are trying to suggest that it was the best we could have gotten with the players we had available to the manager, then no i disagree ..... rafa picked the wrong side

one more thing why the hell is mikel san jose sent out on loan? he starred for bilbao ffs ..... why not give some of these youngsters a chance?? rafa has to go before he destroys this club, we won't attract the best kids if their parents don't feel they will get a game .... and let's face it rafa won't give them a game unless every single possible other player at the club is injured
