Stoke City vs Liverpool - League Cup Semifinal - 2nd Leg (1st Leg STK 0-1 LFC)

[DarkSithLord]

Struggling to remember a worse 45 minutes not involving Man Utd this season.

 

[Bilo]

We apparently had 39% possession and 0 shots on goal that half. At home against Stoke.

Who'd have thunk it

 

[TheArtfulDodger]

Stoke comfortably the better team here.

 

[Bilo]

Flanagan isn't really a very graceful footballer.

 

[Modernist]

Anfield is like a morgue thesedays. Truly awful.

 

[JimJams]

Is Klopp going fucking nuts a Moreno there?

 

[JimJams]

Real shame for Stoke that they couldn't (didn't) field Bojan, Shaqiri and Arnautovic at the same time.

 

[G.B]

Ibe is awful.

 

[DarkSithLord]

This reminds a lot of the Man Utd - Sunderland League Cup Semi from last year.

 

[Bilo]

Is Klopp going fucking nuts a Moreno there?

He went nuts at everyone within 10 feet of him post the 75th minute mark to be fair.

 

[silkyman]

Bit of a culture shock for these guys who are so used to managing in a division where one or two clubs walk it.

Especially this season where it's all closer than it's ever been.

Watch and digest Pep...

 

[TheArtfulDodger]

Almost as good as the shoot out Man Utd were involved in this

 

[DarkSithLord]

Barely deserved.

 

[TheArtfulDodger]

Do they ever fucking lose a penalty shoot out?

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

That performance by Butland in the shoot out doesn't bode well for England in the future.

 

[SALTIRE]

Shocking performance but somehow did it. Its too much sometimes...

 

[JimJams]

Mignolet the hero, who'd have thought it?

 

[Bilo]

Do they ever fucking lose a penalty shoot out?

Pens is one thing Mignolet is quite good at.

 

[JimJams]

That performance by Butland in the shoot out doesn't bode well for England in the future.

Definitely, keepers are always favourite vs the strikers on penalties.

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

Definitely, keepers are always favourite to save penalties.

Did you watch it?

 

[G-Dragon]

Win was never in doubt when the Italian Pirlo stepped up to take the pen.

 

[JimJams]

Did you watch it?

Yes. Does that change anything?

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

Yes. Does that change anything?

Just wondered.
While I agree that of course the goalkeeper isn't the favourite, the difference in that penalty shoot out was the keepers not the quality of the actual penalties.

 

[silkyman]

Definitely, keepers are always favourite vs the strikers on penalties.

He was pretty poor. I'll always stand up for the 'keeper, especially in a shoot out, but he was beaten three times by the same penalty.

 

[G-Dragon]

Jürgen Klopp has now won all five of his semi-finals in his managerial career.

 

[SALTIRE]

Jürgen Klopp has now won all five of his semi-finals in his managerial career.

They did try their best to fuck that stat up, but somehow its held! I need a pick-me-up after that, its too draining sometimes.

 

[Ibby]

Win was never in doubt when the Italian Pirlo stepped up to take the pen.

Yeah the Welsh Allen was very composed!

 

[Super_horns]

Least there was the penalty shoot out to create some excitement..

 

[G.B]

Win was never in doubt when the Italian Pirlo stepped up to take the pen.

Pirlo is Italian, idiot.

 

[G-Dragon]

Pirlo is Italian, idiot.

Got a bit too excited there. I wouldn't expect you to understand though
