Liverpool v Stoke match thread

Lucas is noticeably more aggressive. It's good to see. I still think he needs to assert himself a little more though. He should be demanding the ball in midfield, not waiting for someone to notice him.

Johnson's loving it, you can tell. He's not just playing well, he looks to be enjoying himself big-time.

Yup. Had a real big smile on his face when he scored.

Let's hope he keeps this sort of thing up. Maybe we've finally find our super "right winger".
 
9 shots to 3 and 57% poss to 43%.

45% in Stokes final 1/3
37% in MF
18% in our final 1/3

Reina -7 - one excellent save.
Insua - 6 - one miss but otherwise OK
Ayala - 7- on his debut he is doing exeptionally well and seems very confident - keep it up lad
Carra - 7- except for one Delap throw that skimmed off his head and almost caught Reina out he hasn't put a foot wrong. No hoofing today I'm happy to report.
Johnson - 9 - instrumental in so much of our best play and a cracking goal
Masher - 7.5 - dominating MF with ....
Lucas - 7.5 - see above. Cracking shot early doors.
Kuyt - 6 - not quite on his game yet but almost scored with a header that came back off the keeper for Johnson to score.
Benayoun - 6.5 - a little quite for him. Dropping deep to pick up the ball and his little tricks have not quite come off yet.
Gerrard - 8 - dominating the AM area. I just wish to fuck he would stop taking corners.
Torres - 7- right place right time for his goal and generally looking twice as sharp as against Spurs
 
I'm loving Glenn Johnson, excellent attacking play from the FB's.

I just wish he had a cooler name. 'Come on...Glenn' or 'Come on Johnson', niether has a ring to it.

Also, I'M SORRY for the Delap post!

don't. last season taught me to never get my hopes up when our rivals are losing.
 
Stoke are playing fucking awfully

The very least I expected was some grit and fight.

Really abject performance - long may it continue.
 
Great goal from Johnson. But we're still playing shite.

I'll give the lads the benefit of the doubt in these circumstances what with the loss of Alonso and early season rustiness, etc...

But Stoke's really shit.

I just don't trust this Ayala kid. Slow as fcuk...and I meant his brain.

I love the way he turned their FB inside out for the FK on the edge of the box - there are only a small handful of other players in our squad could do that.

Amen, brother. Not only is he mediocre at it, he could cause havoc in opposition penalty areas or waiting just outside them for the ball.

A bit generous with some of those ratings I think. Especially Ayala who I thought was very nervy.

I just don't trust this Ayala kid. Slow as fcuk...and I meant his brain.

Not a perfect first half from some of the guys, but not sure why you pick on Ayala. The kid is alright.

Great goal from Johnson. But we're still playing shite much better than against Spurs.

Well put Roger quite agree.
 
Slow out of the blocks but Delap and Stoke aren't.

Ayala heads it just over (our goal).

FANTASTIC SAVE from Reina !
