Lot's of pm's coming in, I am seeing them folks but hard to keep the in play up to date and respond, so apologies if I don't reply.

Ibe trickery and pace wins a corner.

76 mins, Ibe and Coutinho work the corner, Ibe lays off for a Coutinho strike, high and wide!

Replay of the Stevie goal, he really enjoyed that despite the circumstances. Two scousers combining.

Ironically, we score a goal when we get a striker on the pitch.

77' Pieters booked for taking Henderson out.

Lost count of how many times Adam Lallana has been body checked or simply shoulder barged to the ground today.

Phil M · « **Reply #47 on:** May 24, 2015, 04:38:39 pm »

Peter Crouch about to enter the fray with 10 mins to go. Arnautovic who's been very good for them goes off.

Around 10 mins normal time left.

We have used all 3 subs, Ibe, Toure and Lambert.

Phil M · « **Reply #48 on:** May 24, 2015, 04:39:12 pm »

The last shove on Lallana could have been a pen, with the benefit of a replay just then. Shithouses.

Phil M · « **Reply #49 on:** May 24, 2015, 04:40:01 pm »

Mophead was sent off for the mancs at Hull I just saw. Still 0-0.

Fitting that two Premier League legends in Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard have signed off with goals in what are for now at least, their final
premier league games.

Ibe starting to show some lovely touches down the left, he looks so exciting and fearless with the ball at his feet. He's been a bright spark and his pace has kept Stoke on the back foot on that side.

Phil M · « **Reply #52 on:** May 24, 2015, 04:42:59 pm »

Some comments about Lallana going down a bit too easily at times, have to agree but he's had a rough ride today, lots of heavy challenges going in.

Phil M · « **Reply #53 on:** May 24, 2015, 04:43:54 pm »

85' Ibe tries to combine with Stevie on the edge of the box but his pass is read and cut out.

Anything good we're doing seems to be down the left channel.

Phil M · « **Reply #54 on:** May 24, 2015, 04:44:14 pm »

Hull City will be relegated, Newcastle 2-0 West Ham.

Phil M · « **Reply #55 on:** May 24, 2015, 04:45:12 pm »

And it's 6-1.

Peter Crouch completely unmarked on a Stoke counter attack.

Bullet header from around 7-8 yards. Skrtel and Sakho in no mans land.

Not been a good day, but thanks for the commentary.

Phil M · « **Reply #57 on:** May 24, 2015, 04:47:05 pm »

So the 5 goal deficit is restored. And the humiliation continues.

Two ex-Reds helping to compound our misery today.

Also, have to say I feel so fucking sorry for our fans who've made the trip today.

Bad enough having to go to Stoke anyway but having to see our beloved Reds take this pasting is just so hard to accept.

Phil M · « **Reply #58 on:** May 24, 2015, 04:48:15 pm »

89th minute. We're still going through the motions, to be fair, if you hadn't seen the first half you would say we have played alright, okay, acceptably even
in the second half and perhaps even the better side, certainly in terms of possession but Stoke held their own and looked threatening any time they got into our final third.

What a send off!

Phil M · « **Reply #60 on:** May 24, 2015, 04:49:11 pm »

That was Peter Crouch's 47th headed PL goal - a new record. Congrats to him, as much as it pains me to say it.

We're now into Steven Gerrard's final few minutes as a Liverpool FC player.

Phil M · « **Reply #61 on:** May 24, 2015, 04:50:21 pm »

As the clock heads for 91 mins the camera captures the figure of Brendan Rodgers. How must he be feeling having seen his players pummelled today.

Phil M · « **Reply #62 on:** May 24, 2015, 04:51:45 pm »

We're in the Stoke half as we enter the final 60 seconds of Steven Gerrard's Liverpool playing career.

How gutting it is to see us lose back to back games in such a disappointing fashion for his send off.

The only positive seeing him score for the final time for us of course.

Phil M · « **Reply #63 on:** May 24, 2015, 04:52:13 pm »

And that's it folks, thank you Steven Gerrard, the end of an era.

Stoke City 6-1 Liverpool

Phil M · « **Reply #64 on:** May 24, 2015, 04:54:46 pm »

Please try to show some due respect to our manager and staff in the post game thread.

I'm as depressed as you are by what I've seen.

Thanks for following and for the pm's.

Walk on through the wind and rain eh?

Til next time...
