Stoke lost more games and got less points at home than Bolton did last season.

We beat Bolton away under Hodgson. So it's a cake-walk over there. Fact.

We won away games.

Under Hodgson too.

RR is slowly losing his touch. It's quite sad to watch.

Shame, Cold Fusion hasn't been cracked yet, but he waste his time here.

He never had it to begin with Dan.

In fairness to him, he's fooled some into thinking he is quite intelligent. Whether that says more about their intelligence of RR himself is up for debate obviously.

Missed the game.

Short summary? Who was good/shit etc

According to Opta we had 24 attempts on goal, made 425 successful passes out of 545, and 72.7% possession and still couldn't score

Promising. Creating chances but not taking them.

Sure some of us over-reacted after the game, but the predictability of the game really ticked me off. Scripted.

Stoke only lost one more game and got one less point at home than bolton.

You are such a geek. Using a word that is used by bad losers on a game to describe a real game of football.

This guy continues to confound me.

Ergo Bolton are tougher, they're certainly not significantly worse at home than Stoke.

They are this season.

Missed most of his glory days. When was the last time he scored from outside the box for us? From my memory it was away to Burnley near the end of the 2009/10 season. Cracking strike too.

a lott of those goals come off his shin or are deflections so many of them are lucky

Free-kick against Manchester United last season.

Some of our passing was extremely poor (particularly Adam).

We lacked the creativity to create clear-cut chances, it wasn't the best day - Stoke tight stubborn defence

I did not enjoy Carra's mini hoofs (lobbed balls) into midfield

I heard commentators saying the grass was longer than usual - not blaming it on that but it must have been annoying.

also what's up with the green lines at their stadium? for Europe game, but why?

Stevie won't be a 100% ready yet, so probably won't start V Spurs. Carragher won't be dropped and we'll continue to suffer.

Something I want to discuss and I'm not sure, or I have been completely oblivious to the fact that Liverpool fans seem to be split when it comes to Steven Gerrard.

Now I'll admit I am rather far up his arse when it comes to talking about him, but I was recently talking to a friend of mine who is a fellow supporter. We were talking about our squad and the Stoke result. I said that once Gerrard returns, Henderson will be dropped for him.

He argued that Gerrard will no longer be able to keep up with the pace of the game and adapt to our quad. I found this a rather interesting comment and I believe that he can do the job of all our current players bar Suarez - he can defend, he can cross, he can get past his man, he can score vital goals.

I will admit that he may struggle the first couple of games but I strongly think that once he is back he will improve our squad ten-fold. It just surprises me that I think he has carried our team for such a long time and that yet some supporters seem to think he has just been a player who performs consistently well.

His understanding with Torres was unbelievable, and I think that once him and Suarez play together it will be even better.

What do you guys think? Am I being too hopeful on the fact that Gerrard will come back stronger and improve our squad/results or am I being too optimistic and Gerrard will indeed struggle?

His groin=gone.

The first few games will explain alot about his future. No one except him and his doctors can make a claim like this but i do think it is safe to say he will struggle, Hopefully he comes with all guns firing as soon as he touches the ball but that is being way too optimistic.

I think he can still walk the walk. His groin looked allright in the training pics.

i think because liverpool midfield along with entire squad is muchweaker than it was 1 year and 2 years ago, gerrard should have no problem reclaim his spot since henderson and adam have proven to be not good enough

He took Fernando's one before he left. Ripped it straight off.

I will remain optimistic thank you very much
