We actually frigging won a game of football Proud

Glen Johnson our bloody warrior Proud

Not exactly what you'd call a strong performance, but I'll take anything nowadays Proud

A clean sheet, too :bow:

Shots on target: Liverpool 3 - 4 Stoke
Possession: Liverpool 47% - 53% Stoke

What's the lesson? Passing it back and forth at the back isn't great football. Not that there was great football on display here. But we frigging won Proud


Also, Stevieg8 should take it easy there :coffee:

Johnson has to be Man of the Match for his goal.

No way, Allen was brilliant.

Lucas was the MOTM. We were so composed in the center. Great performance.

Gleninho man, Credit where its due.

No place for Stevie G in this starting 11.

I'm so so worried about Rodger's team selection and tactical decisions.
Why did Allen start!!! Just because Balotelli didn't/couldn't start, BR had to slot-in another ineffective player!!!
Why did he sent in Lovern!!!
Why did Allen played whole 90 mins, he already had his quota of missed opportunities!!!
Why didn't Lallana and/or Borini come in!!!

At least he dropped Gerrard, be happy it's a start.

Can should of been playing instead of Allen.

Give dat man a 10 year contract ffs. Gleninho :bow:
Spoiler:

Lucas by FAAAAAAR the MOTM. Best performance from him since before his ACL injury. Goddam this was vintage Lucas :bow:  Unfortunate to be taken off. I would have slated Rodgers for taking him off have we conceded but it's all good.

Seriously, though, Johnson has to be MOTM, a defender scoring the only goal of the game, come on. Yeah, he gave the ball away a bit, but to score the winning goal in a game where we didn't look like scoring, absolutely MOTM.

Sterling was quite disappointing again.

Skrtel had a strong game.

Lambert did well. Does the same things as Balotelli, but seems to do a bit more.

Gerrard looked more lively coming on as a sub hmm

gtfo Art. What do you mean we didn't look like scoring? Second half we had like 5 goal scoring opportunities. Allen missed an absolute tap in. Lucas missed a one on one. Lambert shot was incredibly saved by Begovic. Then he hit the bar as well.

Johnson was god awful the whole game until he scored a tap in in the 85h minute, and your actually saying he deserves MOTM? *bleep* off with that.

I would let it slide if you were jesting around but I know you are being serious and it's very unfair to Lucas who was by FAR the best player on the pitch the whole match.

If we keep around 5-6 points away form 4th until January. We'll be in a great position.

God, there is that tiny hope that this season can still be salvageable. I can take the despair, it's the hope that's killing me.

The clue is in the name of the players. When we're creating our best chances for players like Allen and Lucas, it tells it's not going to plan. The matter of the fact is that neither Allen or Lucas scored from their great chances. Johnson didn't even have the opportunity played to his freedom, he had to react and follow through quickly. And he did and he scored. The only goal of the game. From a defender. Won us the three points. Head and shoulders the Man of the Match for me.

I mean, how can you say Lucas was MOTM? Sure, he didn't do anything wrong, but he didn't do anything decisive, either. Johnson, as a full-back, went beyond his call of duty to score the only goal of the game in a game where we couldn't otherwise score.

Damn, the detestation towards some of our players by some of you. Maybe Manquillo had not had lost the ball quite as many times as Johnson, but would he have scored that goal? No frigging way.

At the end of the day Glen Johnson was part of the back-four that kept a clean sheet and he himself scored a pretty brilliant goal that won us the game. Without Johnson we would be mourning here how we couldn't beat Stoke at Anfield.

you need to rewatch the match if you didn't see anything special in Lucas' game.

And Lucas was the main reason for the clean sheet. You put Gerrard for the 80 minutes at DM that Lucas played I bet you we would have conceded like we've done all season long.

Anyways, I don't care man. Think what you want to think.

I'm not saying that Lucas had a bad game, but to say what he did was greater what Johnson did is just ridiculous. Johnson earned us the three points. Lucas's contribution would have earned a single point. Three is greater than one.

Johnson scored a goal and he was shit otherwise the whole first half. Slightly better in the second.

Lucas was great all game.

You say as if Johnson was the main reason we got 3 points. The team earned the 3 points. Johnson was there to tap in from 3 yards ffs. Lucas was the main reason we didn't concede.

If you think Lucas' contribution would have resulted in one point without the all mighty Glen Johnson then you have got other problems that you may want to get checked.

Anyways, like I said I don't care about this Glen Johnson topic. Can't wait until he's gone.

A full-back having a tap-in = he has to follow a bar-hitting header to fly-header it into the goal while taking a boot to the head that makes him bleed, now I've heard it all Proud

Without Johnson, this game would have been a 0-0 and we would have one point to show for it. Thanks to Johnson, we have three points to show for it. How anyone can say that Lucas was more influential than Johnson, I cannot understand.

hmm. Im not so sure about that logic.

Let's do it the other way round, if either's contribution, in turns, would NOT exist then without the goal you'd have one point, without the clean sheet 0 though.

So, now we're assuming Lucas's contribution was the sole reason we kept a clean sheet, against Stoke who have not scored in years at Anfield? Laughing

Well, at the end of the day it's down to everyone's opinion and mine is that Johnson was MOTM by a country mile thanks to his goal that was the only goal of the game.

well there are many aspects to look at it and I think the main problem is, there was no clear cut MOTM. But Lucas did perform brilliantly. Well I can say, Gleno's goal did matter because till that moment we did not concede, so yeah Lucas was MOTM.

It doesnt matter howmuch useless Allen was I think he did perform good when deployed as the deepest MF. He was really energetic and retrieved the ball so many times during that decisive period.

Yeah ones Lucas was taken out and Allen played his role in the last 10 mins, he did really well.

For the rest of the time though he was really invisibly average.

btw guys, Gleno can be so much better if he learns to work with his limitations. He tries too hard sometimes and loses the ball, but he is also the one who is very important sometimes to take the ball out of the defense. I think in that regard-the order is Gleno>manquilo>Enrique>Alberto...I think Alberto has pace and tricks but he is not consistent enough to find someone in the midfield. I think he is still learning to get adjusted to the team. I think whether it is Manquillo or Gleno, the right side of the attack has been more effective compared to left.
