    Guessing as those games were in July they weren't included on bbc website for some reason. Ruins my point about us having more games so maybe better fitness then <doh>

    Exactly. Kicking can be practised much more easily against training dummies than other people.

    <peacedove>Referee for Liverpool v Stoke is Martin Atkinson
    Hope he can keep up with the game.
    He was the referee for last game of the season Liverpool v QPR last May.<whistle>

    I'm interested to see how Stoke play because Mark Hughes has said he doesn't want to play the Tony Pulis way. But you can only have a passing team if you've got passing players. Peter Crouch and a couple of others are very comfortable on the ball, but you can't turn a team into a passing team if they're not passers. That process will take time, but Hughes can't afford to start slowly because all eyes are on him. I think he's a good manager but people remember the QPR situation and a good start is important.

    But I don't think he'll get the result. I think Liverpool are decent and I just wonder if they can handle the pressure at home. Last year if they didn't score early then they tended to struggle and often drew 0-0 with lesser teams. If they score early they can rip a team, but they get very nervous at home if they don't score in the first 25 minutes. However, I think they have gone under the radar a little bit and will score goals this season. I think they'll win this.

    PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0

    I'm ****ing better than Jones.

    Yes, I can actually catch a ball.

    No but seriously, this guy scares the **** out of me. Absolute shocking keeper, probably not even Championship quality - League one maybe.

    Have to agree with that, do any of the young keepers at the club look any good? Don't watch as much of the youth games as I should...
    Think the under 18s have a game today in fact!

    Good players, but 5 of them are very injury prone. Plus it wouldn't surprise me if they lose a couple towards the end of the window.

    Add to that the Dynamics of of the management/owners etc - they could struggle. I do agree though that they'll avoid relegation <ok>

    We don't have any stand out goal keepers coming through as far as I can see. That's looking all the way up from the U-15's.

    We simply need to buy a young decent keeper as back up. Hopefully in Jan we'll do that <ok>

    Odds are 14/1 on a 4-0 win
    You would think you would get better odds than that.
