Reading some of the comments on here you would think Stoke had just been relegated. A week ago some posters were masturbating themselves into a frenzy over beating Man U and Everton then all of a sudden it's wrist slashing time. FFS. What about a bit of Loyalty and Pride?  |

People on here are just super reactionary it's as simple as that, it's a great feeling when we're winning but when we aren't the mood is pretty unbearable!

Can't handle disappointment mate This, x1,000,000 I'd say only the Watford defeat was truly anger-inducing; this result is disappointing, but not worth frothing at the mouth over. We will bounce back. |

As long as it's just venting frustration tonight then calm down tomorrow then there's nothing wrong with moaning about some of them. Tonight some of them deserve it. Then tomorrow, love them again!

It was a fucking semi final , we don't get to many of them against a team who had an old man and a midfield player as centre halves for more than an hour . We just played to where they were strong. Angry too fucking right I'm angry , we missed a massive opportunity tonight

We lost, it happens. We didn't deserve to win because Liverpool got it right and we looked out of sorts, that happens too. But the Oatcake forum has all of a sudden become some sort of 'Good Samaritans online helpline' after tonights defeat. There'll be a lot of toys and dummies being thrown around tonight & tomorrow !!

Just don't believe some of the Glory Hunting Drama Queen reactions on here after a disappointing FIRST leg. What about going to Anfield..Singing Your Hearts Out for The Lads and making some kind of PERSONAL contribution to The Cause..instead of this wrist slashing throw in the towel blame Hughesy because we haven't got we want defeatist shite. Jesus Wept. |

I'm only just home so haven't read the board yet.
I'm desperately disappointed though I have to say and if you want people to discuss the game then inevitably discussion will be on how poor so many of our players were.
Bojan was abysmal and didn't do a thing right. Cameron and Whelan the same. I've never seen pieters play so badly. Butland looked really shaky and his distribution was terrible and shaqiri, I don't even know where to start. Backwards, sideways, anywhere except forward.
Only shawcross, Johnson, wooly and affelay emerge with any real credit and perhaps Arnie who at least tried to make things happen. The subs weren't much better and the attempt of Walters at the end was embarrassing.
It was desperately disappointing and unbelievably, I actually think we froze. The players, who've been lauded in all quarters froze under the weight of expectation they perhaps have for themselves.
The only real positive is Hughes reaction afterwards. The game isn't gone and he will convince the players that we are very much in this tie.
It is though, and will be for a few days, a performance that stings and is desperately disappointing.

If Hughes had swallowed his pride and hit their weak areas we would have had a chance , tonight he was not good enough and I'm one who does appreciate the great job he is doing but tonight he fucked up , as for glory hunting I've been there since 1968 home and away tonight was a monumental fuck up Klopp took the piss . I would love to think we could turn this round but our record at Anfield says we won't and I doubt they will have such a weak side for the2nd game especially at the back .

Losing is one thing, not turning up is something totally different. I can accept any defeat if we gave it a go and lost to a better team but they were there for the taking and we had too many passengers in a tired team. There has to be some blame laid at hughes doorstep for not rotating the side to exploit Liverpools shortcomings on paper, as they were very susceptible at the back to the direct ball. |

I've felt far worse after games than this one. They came with a game plan to push on to our players and nullify us. Do you really think they'll play like that at Anfield? Perversely, I'd be shitting bricks if we'd have won 1-0 or 2-0, because then it would have been like The Alamo at Anfield. Now they've got a one goal lead to protect they will have to be very clever if they're not to leave themselves open to a side that plays well away from home and has players who really can hurt you if you push forward.

OS. I don't think they will no and I'm still confident we will be going to Wembley for a cup final in February. I felt today was a massive game and I'm gutted. Today hurts far more than Saturday or any other defeat this season. Liverpool are toss and for an hour we made them look like world beaters. Even Joe Allen looked a good player. |

You must have gone to a different game than me. I didn't see any of the 'weak areas' you're talking about. Their defence (especially Toure) played superbly, as did their midfield. They sacrificed power up front to make those areas stronger, and it paid off. Take your blinkers off. OS. |

Too many Stoke fans have unrealistic expectations that our team is going to play at the top of their form every match, never concede a goal, and always win. Some also talk as though Mark Hughes was on the pitch; how can he be blamed for example for the atrocious passing by the players tonight? If the Stoke team cost anything like the Liverpool team there might be more reason to complain: www.lfchistory.net/Transfers/ByManager/25-1So our players let us down tonight, they probably feel worse about that we do, so we need to move on. |

We're all disappointed to say the least after tonights game..I've done a 120 mile trip to watch that..but what makes my blood boil is how quickly some so-called Stokies can turn on the team. One minute they're on here praising and eulogising Stoke..the next we're shit etc etc Hughes doesn't know what he's doing etc etc We Are Stoke We don't just support a winning team If all we can do is praise a winning and successful team then it's time to throw the fucking towel in. |

[/quo Whenever we got the ball forward quickly they looked under pressure , we needed more of it to make them crack but we spent too much time passing the ball abound in midfield , this Liverpool team can't deal with the ball in the air very well at the back, we just didn't do enough , the. Walters chance at the end summed it up , it just took us too long to test them and as always for whatever reason our corners and set plays are not good at the moment . IM not saying that Toure and Lucas did not do well but they was their weakest area and we did not test it enough preferring to try and outplay them in the areas of the pitch where they were better than us . |

Last night they didn't even try. That is what is pissing a lot of people off. Our greatest opportunity in years, and the players couldn't be arsed. Yes people bloody well will be angry and they have a right to be. |

Thing is Liverpool can be quite good, they have a lot of very highly rated players, if they get right then Klop's tactics are difficult to beat. We could have done better, should have done better, but all this panic stations because we lost to Liverpool show how much we have improved.
A few years ago the same fixture was 0 - 8

Reading some of the comments on here you would think Stoke had just been relegated. A week ago some posters were masturbating themselves into a frenzy over beating Man U and Everton then all of a sudden it's wrist slashing time. FFS. What about a bit of Loyalty and Pride? Its called being a fan - a fanatic. Don't expect anything other than a passion filled response one way or tother. I think its understandable to be honest that there is massive disappointment that we have probably screwed up our chance of a trophy. Again. And some people vent on here. I am pissed off that Birmingham and Swansea and even fucking Wigan can win things recently but never Stoke. So yeah pretty fucked off that it appears we messed up our chances. Yes its only halftime and if we do pull off a miracle no doubt the same wrist slashers will be on here saying we're the best team ever and will win at Wembley - that's the nature of being a fanatic! |

Mr coke Hughes can be blamed in my view, i saw the same tired looking individuals perform badly at West Brom ,it wasn't rocket science to see the same again last night.
Basically he flogged the players at West Brom and it played its part last night imo.

Agreed. Anyway, no need to fuss, there'll be another semi final in another 43 years.We are still in this one, and have the strength in depth to win the cup and the FA Cup. That might sound wildly optimistic, but it is negative comments like the above that cause the owners to be so hesitant about investing in the ground IMO. If we were to lose 6 games on the trot, would the attendance drop below 25,000? |
