nice to win games like this especially against stoke who can be hard to breakdown when they're playing away from home. was expecting another 0-0 so a win is great and already an improvement on last seasons opening day with the 3-0 defeat WBA last year Not sure, but didn't we play away to WBA last year? Yeah but it's still an improvement.

For once I agree with you, its important to beat these teams that are beneath us. Its these teams we've been dropping points to by not capitalising on our dominance and ending up drawing. Converting more of these games that were draws last season into wins will go along way to closing the gap to the top 4 spot

I was very pleased. Liverpool for the past 2 years have struggled with teams like these, and I for one am very encouraged to see us finally hold onto a 1-0 lead. Mignolet looks a good fit. The Villa game will be more telling I think. They gave the gunners a thrashing.

Hang on don't you think this is all a bit premature ?
I can understand it if we were regularly beating the lesser teams but we have won one game and that by the grace of god

Every game is as important as the next or do you still consider fielding weaker teams against the 'big boys' the way forward?
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

Agreed, Villa look dangerous, and we struggle against strong strikers.

I do indeed think we should cut our cloth accordingly, I really think we as a club should concentrate on the battles we can win, there is no point beating United if we then lost a 6 pointer against a team like Villa, Everton, Swansea or a Fulham no point whatsoever as come the end of the season the games against the teams we are jockeying for 6th place will be the ones we look at that have defined our season...
