Stoke: Sorensen, Huth, Abdoulaye Faye, Shawcross, Higginbotham, Delap, Whitehead, Diao, Etherington, Sidibe, Sanli.
Subs: Simonsen, Whelan, Lawrence, Fuller, Pugh, Collins, Wilkinson.
Liverpool: Reina, Carragher, Kyrgiakos, Skrtel, Insua, Degen, Lucas, Mascherano, Aurelio, Kuyt, Ngog.
Subs: Cavalieri, Aquilani, Riera, Maxi, Spearing, Darby, Pacheco.

I actually think Stoke are stronger player-for-player in this game mg:

C'mon you Potters!

stoke looks a stronger line-up to me. Anyone have checked the odds may worth a bet

Stoke 3/1, Draw 6/5, Liverpool 5/4

Pretty stingy odds tbh.

 

[SlickMongoose]

6 defenders. Against Stoke. Eek

 

[chrissivad]

Mascherano just went mental at someone (Aurelio?)

An easy ball and Mascherano was through on goals, but Aurelio went for goals in his own half and fucked it up :lol:

The team is so disjointed at the moment

 

[llamafarmer]

That's an absolute mess of a teamsheet from Rafa :lol: My Liverpool mates are not best pleased!

 

[cwy21]

GK's could just let the ball go into the goal instead of pushing the throw back into the danger area.

 

[kcmei]

pool looks more like a relegation team at the moment

 

[Rocksuperstar]

Yeah, but Stoke are keen - they're not giving them an inch. 'pool have had only one half-chance, which was a neat break, 3 against 3, but Stoke's defence stood up tall. Liverpool look intimidated.

 

[SlickMongoose]

I reckon that should have been a pen.

 

[Wellspurs]

Lucas cant play us now either!! If a booking is a mistake can it be overturned?

 

[cwy21]

If a booking is a mistake can it be overturned?

No.

 

[SlickMongoose]

Lucas cant play us now either!!

Is that good or bad? :shrug:

 

[cwy21]

Is that good or bad? :shrug:

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

[SlickMongoose]

Neither side look much good. Stoke show a lot of effort but their ball control and passing is terrible.

 

[robbiesavagehasbreasts]

What a boring half.

Liverpool are playing 2 full backs as wingers. Sorry, their back-up full backs.

 

[chrissivad]

Lucas cant play us now either!! If a booking is a mistake can it be overturned?

yes he can, for the same reason if Hudd, JJ or Palacios pick up a booking today then can still play.

 

[chrissivad]

Portsmouth game is off due to a waterlogged pitch

 

[cwy21]

Rafa has to make a change.

Not that I want him to though.
