I think the managers tactics were to stifle Stoke and to quell the threat of Arnautovic linking up successfully with the returning Shaquiri and in all fairness the plan was working to the extent it flooded the midfield with Clyne and Milner pushed up to support Can and Wjinaldum, it was only when we were denied a blatant penalty and caught up the pitch still debating the decision that Stoke managed to mount their first real counter attack and opened us up.
I think if we had been awarded the penalty it would have been a completely different game and the managers game plan would have ran a lot smoother when he eventually threw our two Brilliant Brazilians into the equation, to be fair I thought Woodburn gave Stoke a real problem at the back because he was grafting on his own because Origi as a strike partner was absolutely woeful and shouldnt be starting games if he's not willing to put the effort in, Divock still has a lot of work to do if he's citing Henry as a role model ???
Three massive points and then WB away
, Firmino's goal gave me an immediate flashback to Lil' Luis goal against Juventus, sensational 
Origi was disappointing , I was really ***** when Woodburn stormed up the pitch , drew three defenders towards him and a now completely unmarked Origi instead of cutting in and offering himself for the easy pass elected to stay out fairly wide giving the young lad Woodburn no support and virtually no chance of playing the ball through to him , criminal !
