Skrtel looked like he was about to make a mistake any second, but Kyrgiakos looked very useful and should probably play against all the other Stoke like teams this year, especially on the road. For 97% of the game the defense played great and handled the pressure well. We did not do a good job of holding onto the ball, but we were not getting any help from the ref. To me, it seemed like Stoke were allowed to play as physical as they wanted, and we were not allowed to do the same things back to them.
Didn't create much, but we didn't have creative players out there. I would have preferred Aurelio at LB and Riera at LM, but Reira could not have been fit to play for very long, and although he has good height for a midfielder, doesn't deal with physical play all that well. Maxi hadn't played in a few weeks and didn't have many 90 minutes under his belt this year either, and Stoke away is a terrible game to make your debut. This didn't seem like much of an Aquilani game either, at least not at this stage of his LFC career.
ALthough Yossi is small and tricky, he is pretty tough, really could have used him, and obviously Gerrard and Torres. Johnson would have been useful too, even if we were playing him at RM, he would have been better than Degen. And if we played him at RB, then we could have kept Skrtel on the bench
Thought Lucas could have earned two penalties, and of course that header at the end would have made a world of difference.

Only thing I can say about the team without Stevie and Nando is that it will play harder than it has been. Stevie and Nando's body language is bad for us when things aren't going well.

Owzat, I suggest you dont waste your time to come out with stats as some people dont really look at it for decision making.
