I'd rather look on the positive side. They scored 5 goals away from home and after beating Stoke in the first leg, Liverpool have got a very good chance of getting another good result tomorrow and getting to the final and maybe even winning it.

 

[SALTIRE]

They do but Stoke won't play as badly as they did in the first game so can still see it being close.

Alex Teixeira's first start for us

As much as I would like us to sign I don't think it will happen. Shaktar want way too much for him. If Chelsea come in for him we won't be able to match their bid, esp if the 25m deal for Ramires goes through.

 

[Whitechapel]

Stoke are in poor form at the moment, but always turn up for the big boys...Liverpool win.

 

[SALTIRE]

The stats and history back Klopp and Liverpool, but I do think it won't be an easy game. Fingers crossed they can progress though.

I thought you'd be back to "we" after the win at Norwich, you are becoming harder and harder to please!

tbf Liverpool didn't win, Norwich lost. not the same thing.

Tonight I reckon we'll win to be honest. Not sure if Stoke will lose though.

Flano starts, yes!

[The Iron]

I'm confident that Liverpool will win tonight, just like i was in the first leg

 

[SALTIRE]

Klopp said with Stoke bringing their tall players in that its going to be a 'heading festival'.

 

[Super_horns]

Crouch starts - bound to score isn't he?

 

[JimJams]

Flano starts, yes!

At right back - odd.

 

[SALTIRE]

At right back - odd.

Covering Clyne. Came on against Exeter at that position too.

 

[JimJams]

I know but you'd think that you'd play the guy coming back from a long injury lay off in his preferred position and the guy (Moreno) who has had plenty of gametime playing out of position.

 

[JimJams]

Fuck me, listening to Carragher on Firmino saying he has had a slow start, well yeah but how many fucking players hit the ground running. The impatience for players coming into a new club and country is pretty ridiculous nowadays.

 

[Bilo]

Flanno is a right back, always has been. He only played on the left because of Johnson.

Ok, never seen him play at right back. Has he ever played for 'pool at rightback other than the game v Exeter? I suppose th Cafu thing makes more sense at RB!
He's never doing Clyne though!

Yeah, a few times, was only really that run in 13/14 that he played regularly at left back.

With that said, his best performances have been down the left. He's so irratical he's more dangerous tucking in than on the outside. But this is a year-and-a-half old opinion, so who the fuck knows really.

 

[JimJams]

So he's the English Lahm!

 

[The Iron]

What a load of rubbish so far.

 

[Luke_1884]

Finally, offside or not this game needed that.

What a shite 45 minutes.

 

[G-Dragon]

Linesman smh. Useless.

 

[JimJams]

Shit officiating then?
Hopefully this goes to extra time then.

 

[Bilo]

This is our worst performance offensively over Klopp I think?

Horrible, but still confident we'll go through.

 

[Whitechapel]

Stoke are unbeaten in the last 18 games when scoring 1st, going on to win 16 of them.

Gulp.
