"we are sincerely a better team than Stoke Stevie! It will be important our strikers play off their defenders and avoid the direct contact, and our defenders build the play from deep skipping the long balls! If we play as we know and do the job at the back, we will score a goal and do the utter job! don't expect gift, they will sell dear the skin! Happy New Year Stevie! YNWA Stevie G"
"Unbeaten in 8 with 9 clean sheets. Very formidable at home and we have not won there in the league ever. Our form is kinda iffy to say the least....most teams would take a draw any day. We would have as well when we structure the points scoring at the beginning. NOT ANYMORE. We want 3 points- we WANT to and we HAVE to get ahead of our neighbors.
COMMON YOU REDS- LETS DO IT"
"it is great to hear the players having confidence. there are no easy games in prem including promoted teams.stoke will put up a fight but it is a fight that LFC will win. same commitment required as last game. we will do this and get the points we deserve. cant wait 'til kick off. come on redmen. YNWA"
"stevie you are our captain and are an immense one at that. we have good record on boxing day so let team know only a win is good enough. we are well capable of beating stoke which no one has managed at brittania so far. com on you reds 3 points please please please. YNWA"
"lad's I'd take clean sheet draw from this, any team in the prem would find it hard away to stoke,they are unbeaten in their last 15 home matches,I thought this would be our only big problem over the Christmas but then villa burst that bubble,we can get something out of this if we dont get involved with thuggery/bullying tactics and Luis keeps his head."
"Come on lads. They do not come much tougher than Stoke away. Lets start with a fast tempo, and not that pedestrian style that we have seen all to often this season."
"Listen Stevie, its simple,go for the it against Stoke. We need to WIN, not go there playing for the draw.Villa was the final wake up call of the season, its time to put the possession into 3 points.However,I fear a defeat as I don't think we have the bottle."
"a point tonight bare minimum, keep the ball on the floor n tire them n hit them on the quick counter stoke are good at set plays and there very organised but a good footballing team there not - come on lads!YNWA"
"Anyone who thinks stoke is an easy place to get 3pts better get a reality check, i'd def settle for a pt, that said tho, its still possible. Cmon u reds."
"Were we actually one of the 4 teams in the league that had xmas day off?! were 8th not even man u and city had a day off. So you better give a good perfomance..."
