Match Day Thread vs Stoke (A)

First dirty **** stokey of the evening there. [HASHTAG]#Itbegins[/HASHTAG]

 

[InBiscanWeTrust]

Allen has been very good so far.

Point to prove with transfer window open

 

[Jimmy Squarefoot]

When Cout and Firmino link up it really is a joy to watch. Just need to do it on a more consistent basis.

Take Benteke out and they will.

Musn't be raining or windy or cold tonight...

 

[Jimmy Squarefoot]

Firmino has same major flaw as Benteke up front regarding needing space and creative assistance. Not really much of an advantage over Benteke but at least Ben gets a chance to rest.

The other flaw is that Firmino isn't a natural striker.

I think that simply having Bentbeke on the pitch discourages them from playing like this. Now the onus is on them as the central figures to be creative and energetic

 

[InBiscanWeTrust]

What a pass from Allen, Cout one v one, always wants to cut into his right so easy to defend against unfortunately.

Would rather be starting him over Lucas in CM.

 

[FedLadSonOfAnfield]

Coutinho there

 

[InBiscanWeTrust]

Probably enjoying this more than any game so far..

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

Stoke and Hughes will be absolutely raging at this. They've given us way too much space.

Our lads have done much better pressing in wider areas which klopp has been saying since day 1. Coutinho is on it tonight which begs the question. Irrespective of who is up there when you are left side why has your press been ****?

Thus far it's far brighter..... is it all the Welsh xavi....

 

[Milk not bear jizz]

You been binge watching Hannibal as well ??

No. Does he eat his own?

 

[FedLadSonOfAnfield]

Oh look it's Glyn Jensen under his new assumed identity

 

[Milk not bear jizz]

Probably enjoying this more than any game so far..

And I can't watch because it's on during work hours and I can't go home early because I have to publish tonight.

 

[InBiscanWeTrust]

Moreno's back heel to Can

Just need to make sure we take advantage of this spell and get a goal, don't go into HT 0-0

 

[DirtyFrank]

Coutinho hamstring...feck sake

 

[Magic Ted]

Hamstring gone.

It's quite obvious as to why Coutinho is up for it tonight. And it's obvious why the pressing is much better.

More great news - Coutinho injured arghhhh

 

[danilo.]

Oh FFS Coutinho, hope it's nothing.

 

[InBiscanWeTrust]

Cout done his hamstring..., him out for a month or so then...
