Stoke City 0-1 Liverpool: In game and Post Match debate

If Balotelli was in Benteke's place, everyone would be fuming at him that he doesn't help the team and so on.

The system is the problem, not an individual player.

Bullshit.

Benteke is contributing far more than Balotelli would be if he was playing.

Thank god it was only Glen F***ing Johnson

Glen johnson the bitter bully

imagine johnson score...

rodgers wake upppppp

but players domshow character!

Huh?

Lallana is non existent

i personally dont see it as a big risk as you do. one midfielder makes run and the other covers. in your logic, wing backs should not make runs, becuase that will open space behind them, thats a risk too.

No - if we push our wing backs up and our midfielders run on then we have 2 centre backs and one midfielder chasing their attackers when they counter.

Think about it.

F**k, got lucky there, but that's why we let Johnson go I suppose!

Bullshit.

Benteke is contributing far more than Balotelli would be if he was playing.

How ? Not one chance created so far by our team, let alone a shot on target.

Baring Gomez I think that was good defending there.

Disagree, considering they had 2 gilt edged chances to score pretty much works against you mate.

Lovren sold himself and then got beaten by the Johnson pull back. Did well to get out to Johnson but then has to close him all the way and not buy the dummy.

Without a forward line like Sturridge, Suarez and Sterling like we had two season ago then you're deploying kamikaze tactics with the Wright Brother's plane as far as I'm concerned.

i want a win. kamikaze tactics would be to force everybody up, a run here and there from midfielders isnt a kamikaze tactics. all the good teams do it.

Unlucky lads, good move.

And this is the reason why Glen Johnson was sold to Stoke City...

Decent bit there from Coutinho and Benteke. Just a hair out of reach.

We look absolute sh*te to be honest

Not really to be honest. Stoke are a decent side.

Great play by Benteke there - thought he couldn't "fit our style"?

"Charlie Adam hasn't quite found his feet in this first half" .... no that's because he can't see past his F***ing gut the fat pr**k!

He's got some cheek complaining about being fouled.

I like charlie Adam but boy is he sh*te how did he ever get a shirt. Still think we will get to grips second half and go on to win

Soft yellow.

We really, really need to change our set up.

BRENDAN IT IS NOT WORKING.

Its 38 mins into the first game of the season ffs !!

How about we let things settle down and let the players settle down instead of panicing and demanding changes after 38 mins

Charlie the c**t. Their fans are wums.

Oh F**k off Charlie Adam. You put in way worse tackles on a weekly basis, ya gap-toothed pr**k

No - if we push our wing backs up and our midfielders run on then we have 2 centre backs and one midfielder chasing their attackers when they counter.

Think about it.

thats why one player makes run and the other covers for him. in my mind that should create chances. you dont, then fair enough. we will have to disagree

We gotta up the tempo, I might have had a few beers but I'm falling asleep watching this.
We look just like we did end of last season. WTF raise it lads, get stuck in
