That was a good :censored:

team Rafa put out today but he still gets the blame. :laugh:

I bet you when he announced the team most of you were happy with it.

Because i know i was but they never came up with the goodies today but were still unbeaten. Who cares if it was Stoke we have to fight to win games in the prem against everyone. Im gutted we didnt win of course but we never got beat an thats my main priority

Do you really think this is the right message to send out if you put 10 players behind the ball at anfield you won't lose.

I meen we might as well put a great big sticker on every players forehead saying "can't shoot for :censored:

" and be done with it or any thing you heart desires.

I meen rafa should have one on his head "ain't got a clue".

Ok maybe I am a bit harsh but you get the idea.

It's not Kuyt who let us down today, it was Fernando and Keane. I just don't see that partnership working at all. This is just so freaking disappointing, there's no way we're winning the title this year, no way.

Last season we got a draw against birmingham and that effectively ended premier league dreams... And this season its stoke..... Hope stuff doesn't go pear shaped now..

You see thats exactly why we are so far of the league. We should be vying to win EVERY match. Not just the Utd games and derbies. You dont win the league based on just twatting those 2 do you?

precisely... despite not scoring again after the 3rd minute gerrard 'goal' i thought we played quite well... we were bombarding their goal most of the time... we just didn't get the rub of the green... and Stoke defended very well... torres' attempts on the goal on any other day, at least one would've gone in... disappointed with the result but I can't really find anyone to blame reasonably...

all those blaming rafa's subs and kuyt AGAIN are just a bore... ur just looking for scapegoats...

Why, what's wrong with the players we signed?

With the exception of Riera (and even then hes borderline) how many of our new signings would walk into the 1st teams of Utd, Arsenal and Chealsea? Keane probably would but hes having a shocker at the moment.

No, but I'm saying this now because we already drew. Its there, its permanent, it wont go away. Unless by some miracle they count that free kick

. Now is the time to thrash someone to give us our confidence back, and I can't see a better team then everton :buttrock

Agreed. Probably some fans will remember when Kuyt didn't get spot on that volley or he left the ball behind some minutes before, but otherwise he didn't do a bad game. Keane and Torres should have done better, although I don't agree they can't work together, it was just a below par game of them.

Rafa has to stop rotating the corner takers, and we have to execute them better, that gives a lot of 3 points to many teams, many weeks. We just can't waste that situations.

by **tubby** » Sat Sep 20, 2008 5:10 pm

That volley from Kuyt at around 70 mins and the commentators comments summed up the day well for me. 'Goodness gracious what is that'.

I cant believe he is on like 50k a week +. :laugh:

by **OneHotRed** » Sat Sep 20, 2008 5:11 pm

How depressing 79% possesion, 22 corners I think and we failed to score or even break stoke down, its SCARY if a team like SToke can come and do that at Anfield,

by **woof woof !** » Sat Sep 20, 2008 5:11 pm

What ever happened to YNWA, we drew at home against a team many thought we beat outta sight whilst some thought it wouldn't be that easy. So now the blame game begins and we're already biting each other because we don't agree with each others perspective.

By all means be disappointed BUT keep it civil

Putting 10 men behind the ball is one thing, actually depending and praying on whether or not world class match winners like Gerrard and Torres will have a bad shooting day is another. We were all over them. Our team done EVERYTHING they could to score, but time after time, they either got something on our shots, or got it clear for a corner. How many fecking corners did we have? And our corners are gash to say the least. Torres was equally as sh*t as anyone on the field for shooting, if not worse, but who gets the stick? Poor old Dirk as per usual.
