Should've been a penalty, what a plank

This. Stoke defender would've missed the ball and it would've been a penalty had he stayed on his feet.
SSN are ripping Rafa to pieces. Aquilani played 120 minutes midweek and looked spent and now they're saying he's been dropped because Rafa doesn't rate him
Edit: Nice to see Thommo speak his mind about Babel
He did play the full match, and to be fair, he did naff all and looked like a total lightweight.
Maybe its lack of games this season so far, but he looks completely uninspiring at the moment.

His control and passing was very good when he had time and space but he looked awful when pressurised. I'm sure he'll get better once he gets used to the pace of the English game and gets some match sharpness.
Agree about him looking lightweight though which is very worrying. Having said that he's been played as a DM which clearly isn't his game.

I thought Sorro was one of the best in the prem? his clearances are terrible.Liverpool have weathered the storm so far, but they have nothing up top and nothing through the middle, somebody needs to put the foot on the ball and calm things down.Stoke are capable of nicking one.
Lucas has looked ok surprisingly.

Apart from 1 or 2 balls, everything to Ngog has been hoofed up the field to him and when you've got Huth over you're shoulder you aren't going to win much.
Insua seems to have carried on with his current form, or lack of.

Pretty happy with that considering our fortunes of late. While we've not created much in front of goal we've defended very well and coped with everything stoke have literally thrown at us.
I'd expect to see a couple of attacking players brought on sometime in the second half probably around 60 and 75 minutes in the hope of nicking it 1-0.

Agree. Ngog's had no support from Kuyt and keeps getting muscle out. Riera on for Inusa and drop Aurelio back to LB would be a wise decision.

The storm?
Both sides seem to be pretty impotent at the minute, hopefully Liverpool bring on Riera and or Maxi, maybe even Pacheco and add a bit of creatvity. Stoke have already made 2 changes so they're more or less stuck with what they've got.

Well the long balls to test Pepe, they aint got much else as a team.
Its disapointing when you look at the bench, those player would give us so much more creativity, why Aurelio is being kept on as a left winger i'll never understand, that said, Riera is comign back from an injury.
With our injury problems I'd like us to play:
Reina
Aurelio Carra Agger Degen/Kelly
Riera Masch Aquilani Maxi
Ngog Pacheco
Lets face it, this season is total write off for us now, lets blood players like Pacheco. I'd even recall Nemeth.
