The ball definitely hit his hand. Don't think it was a penalty though - too close to the ball and he didn't deliberately put his arm in the way
I would take a scrappy 1-0 right now
You guys arent a one man team. Your forwards are pretty terrible tho (I like Giroud but he needs time to adapt to the league)
You guys need to sign another striker or someone like Dempsey.
Look the one thing I will say is Stoke have been fúcking shíte and if they up their game in the 2nd half we will find it really difficult. We need to score early.
yh the defense has played well. team in general is battling and putting a shift in, very good to see. We just need that finishing touch
Jenkinson, gibbs and diaby defended well.
Batmanu, we've just countered stoke very well fist half. Our defence has been brilliant in the air.
Going to be another bore draw
Arshavin show on at Anfield

A goal would be very helpful. But we put hardly the ball on target.
All our signings are still finding their way. It'll take time, but all 3 give us something.
get ox on for gervinho
get jack on for diaby
and sagna on for jenko
Hopefully stoke will run out of steam in the 2nd half and there'll be more space to exploit at the back for when the Ox and Walcott come on
We;ve been coping with the scrappiness of the game as well. Just need to get more clinical in the final 3rd, big problem so far.
They're showing Arshavin 4 v Liverpool. Ahh what a great memory.
the balance of the team doesn't feel right yet. Could be lack of chemistry, but regardless we need some new blood in the next week
If we get an earl goal and continue to control game I think we could get 2 or 3 goals.

Walcott could be pretty useful coming off the bench a bit later in the half

i can't wait to see stoke string more than three passes together before they punt it

Want to see the Ox come on for Diaby at some stage.
the only way we will score will be from long range
