Stoke City v Liverpool

Post by Missing Post Count »

In the 0-0 draw earlier this season at Anfield Liverpool mustered 30 shots to Stoke’s two.
Thomas Sorensen has played Liverpool 15 times in the Premier League and never been on the winning side, despite only conceding more than once in one of those 15 matches.
Liverpool’s only previous visit to the Britannia Stadium was a League Cup tie in November 2000 when they won 8-0.
Liverpool have the same number of points as champions Man Utd after 20 games last season, but no team with fewer points at this stage has won the title since 2001-02.
Stoke have fired in the fewest shots on target (56).
78% of the goals Stoke have scored have been netted in the second half – the highest proportion in the top division.
31% of the goals Liverpool have conceded have come in the second half – the lowest proportion in the Premier League.
Steven Gerrard has scored five goals and set up three more in his last five league appearances for Liverpool.
There have been 19 goals scored in Liverpool’s last five league matches.
67% of the goals Stoke have scored have come via set plays – the highest percentage in the Premier League.
Only four teams have picked up more points than Stoke (17) on home soil this season.

Alonso's a doubt, Insua is away with Argentina under 20's and Arbeloa hasn't travelled due to a hamstring injury.

Therefore I think this will be the starting eleven:

-------------------Reina-----------------
-Carragher - Hyypia - Agger - Aurelio-
-Kuyt - Mascherano - Lucas - Riera -
----------------- Gerrard ----------------
----------------- Torres ------------------

Possibly Keane in for Torres. Hoping the combo of Lucas and Mascherano is as effective as it was against Newcastle.
I reckon it'll end up 2-0 to Liverpool.

Look i'm not even a liverpool fan but to say they have not had the best form is stretching it. they have only lost 1 game in the EPL. Last 2 epl games they beat the mags 5-1 at newc beat Bolton 3-0 at anfield.

Wish we had their not so good form!!!!!!!

I haven't heard anything about him being injured..But that doesn't mean anything.
Skrtel has been shit so far.

If Rafa doesn't have a good excuse for dropping Agger, he'll be gone by the end of the season. He's not gonna wait around for a game behind Hyypia and Skrtel, and I don't blame him. He's better than the both of them.

What a way to spend an early morning, watching my wife gloat over the "moral victory" Stoke set out for a draw and got what they wanted. Liverpool showed no flair/style or imgagination at all. If we miss out this year the 4 points we have dropped to one of the worst sides to play in the EPL will be a huge factor.

A couple of the more bizarre points, has Keane been on the park since he finally found some form and scored a brace ?
Why go into a game with a defensive opponent without a regular striker on the park and 3 on the bench

i give up the frustration is killing me and so is the smile on my wifes face...
