Stoke v Liverpool 15.00 Sunday 24 May

Anyone really interested?

FWIW I think if will be a tough match as it always is at the Brittania.

Hope the spineless wonders manage to raise a canter for Stevie's last match, would be great to see a goal from the great man.

Heart says a win but my head says a hammering!

Just hope for a decent performance and perhaps a win.
Also that the boss selects players that actually deserve to be in the team which will make it hard to select a full 11 based upon that criteria.
TBH i just want this season over and done with.

Stick some good lads out there and let them do what they can.

Why bother we are probably just going to get hammered.

Nice one liner but why don't you give me some insights on what tactics or team formation will stop this happening?

If the spineless wonders actually come to play then we might have a chance.

Like you I am at a loss for words as to what will happen; heart tells you one thing but with Brendan's tactics who knows.

Sorry I am just really down right now; why bother right?

Ha ha I knew someone who knows nothing about Football would eventually realise by reading enough posts Brendan is not the right man

Good Man 

Gerrard will start. And he should. Form is irrelevant. It's his last match in a Liverpool shirt.

Should be interesting to see if Sterling starts after this past week.

Sakho has been training so I assume he's available?

Is what I would play, I guess with SG' last match he will start (Think I would just tell Couts to take a breather) but Balotelli, Sterling don't even make the bench for me.

I have absolutely no interest. This is the first time ever that I have felt this way.

Bring all the kids out and the guys that deserve to play...leave the sulker's & Malcontents at home.

Remember, we need to win this to be sure of European football next season. If we loose we are not gaurenteed it.

Not sure what the hell all that is about above. AZ and HCs, you two felling alright?

I'm honestly just looking to get this one out of the way and the only thing that will get me interested is if we see a real change in attitude and the manager looking to next season.

Going for a 1  1 draw, in this end of season game. Although not expecting much, Stoke always difficult to beat, at the best of times. The way we are playing not at all confident, play a few youngsters, at least they may put some effort into the game.

This will never happen with what pressure the manager is facing. If we play with kids at Stoke we might get hammered, hell even with our best lineup we could get battered at Britannia.

He's not going anywhere no matter the outcome Sunday.

Again this week I have an exam so 99.9% I won't make it. I'm so sad

YNWA LFC, we can do it.

I actually think this is a pretty big match, massive in many respects particularly for the manager. Win it and we're fifth, lose it and I think I'm right in saying we could be seventh. Win it and we'll look back on a poor season with the consolation of at least knowing it's only the big four spenders who've finished above us, lose it and we could be behind Southampton. Win it and Summer will be warmish with sunny intervals, lose it and it'll be a long three months of bickering and trying to hold a big willy contest in arctic conditions.

Gerrard obviously has to play, and me I'd play Sterling as well. I'd get a bit radical and put a right back in at right back, but other than that this game as always will be won and lost by whether we have enough desire. They will, whether or not we can match them will swing it one way or the other.

That will be our undoing.

Anyways, 3 points is a must as we need to be playing European football.

Couldn't careless who starts, just win.

Then again George if we put 11 kids out we might win, at least we know the kids would put the effort in and do their best for the full 90 minutes.

You seem to forget how physical Stoke play at home, it would be a risk playing with youngsters.

Quite a lot riding on this game.  Big difference even if only in perception from finishing 5th and 7th.

Personally I wouldn't play Sterling - both on what's happened but more importantly on form - lad has been f**king useless in the past two months.  I also wouldn't start Gerrard - we've had a horrible run of results when he has started games and I do think it impacts upon the team. 

No problem bringing him on for the last 20 but sooner or later we have to face up that he is going and to be honest the last few months of the season should have been used to think about Liverpool's future and not embark upon the longest farewell tour in history.

Give one or two youngsters a game - you never know they may do something and give us a small bit of hope over what is likely to be a dire summer.

It's hard to work up any enthusiasm for this one, but I'll give it a try. Hope he doesn't play Sterling, firstly because he doesn't deserve to pull on that shirt ever again, and secondly if he is to be sold, and I believe he will be, then we just cannot afford him to get a bad injury against a physical side like Stoke!
