Match Day Thread Liverpool vs Stoke city

Also the lack of Mané really highlights our need for more cover for both Mané and Salah. We had a lack of balance up top

 

Klopp: "Stoke were a bit lucky in one or two situations. Still, 0-0, no injuries, so let's carry on."

 

The 'heads on Wednesday' thing is no excuse. This didn't happen in Paisley's day, we focused on each match at a time, that's why we won so much silverware.

Too much bang average in our squad: get rid of Gomez, Moreno and Klavan they're all ****.

 

Should have been 5-0 but wasn't - a combination of our lack of clinical finishing and awful refereeing, yet again. Bright side - no injuries, 1 more point.

 

Didn't think that was a pen myself.

 

ref only waves play on when he sees a foul doesn't he?

 

Henderson: "It looked a clear penalty, on the TV it is blatant. If his hand isn't there Alberto is there for a tap in, so it is a poor decision from the referee and the linesman and it has cost us three points."

 

Zouma: "There is a big belief we can stay up, everyone is confident."

He means Chelsea, right?

 

Klopp: "First of all I take a point, it is positive even if we had more possession and all that, but today was a difficult, intense time for us. I saw everything I wanted to see except fluency and fun and joy, it is hard on a day like this. Stoke were a little lucky in some situations.

"We had to make changes, that is always a bit of a rhythm breaker, in the final third everything is instinct between the regulars, and we missed a bit of that. But no-one was seriously injured so we carry on.

"The best manager I ever had always said it will be a very important point at the end. That’s how we take it.

"For me it looked a pen, a clear one. I said a few time in games like this, maybe in the Champions League against Manchester City we were lucky, in the Premier League, not one time. We should have got more penalties, we don’t have them.

"But I'm happy how the boys took the game. It was not our best game of course not. And I said a lot of positive things about the crowd, but you cannot only react to what is happening in the game. You have to be on your toes, we can improve that."


Klopp #confirms #bentasfuck officials are targeting Liverpool

 

Yeah, that’s what’s happening...it’s a conspiracy

No doubt being orchestrated by dem Mancs lead by Ferguson from a bunker under the BBC

 

Got to beat Chelsea to have a chance of bettering last seasons points tally of 76.

But we are looking at a CL final so **** it

 

You aren't #neutral since Everton are the only team in the country who can look at Stoke and wish you played that much football

 

We beat them home and away love.

Not your day is it.....

 

So you out-Stoked Stoke. That why Moshiri #confirmed Fat Sam's contract?

 

That hasn’t happened either......go for a lie down, you’re swinging and missing here.

 

I was told I was mad to suggest we needed 2 players per position


go figure

 

Jurgen Klopp says Trent Alexander-Arnold suffered a dead leg v Stoke, Joe Gomez twisted his ankle early on and Jordan Henderson turned his ankle. Hopes all 3 ok for Roma though. Sadio Mane will be fit for Weds.

 

We were flat although a tad unlucky. Stoke deserved something from the game for their resilience and stubbornness.

This may well turn out be a a good point if Chelsea beat us. It will remain in our hands till the last day.

that aint what you implied which was 2 top players. No one argued that the squad needs improving but it was unrealistic for the whole squad to be overhauled in the financial & time frame we operated in.
