Two days after the loss of Reading in the tournament "FA Cup" team, headed by Liverpool’s Rafael Benitez blew it again! Year from today 16/01/2010 at 12:45 English Britain Stadium against one another stood teams of Stoke City and Liverpool. Before the match the hosts were in 10th position in the provisional standings of English Premier League while their opponents hydro 7th position. For visitors from Liverpool had a lot of problems! In the game not attended by stars of the team Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard and Yossi Benayoun, who received injury the match with Reading! From what I understood from the television Fernando Torres will be absent about 6 weeks, Steven Gerrard 2 and Yossi Benayoun – 4 weeks.Tova shows not only that these players do not have much luck this season and a team coach Rafael Benitez had to figure out how to beat Stoke City without their stars.
In the first minutes of the meeting hosts tried to exert pressure on the door of the Rhine, but the people of Tony Pulis could not reach the goal situation seriously.
Towards the middle of halftime brought up Liverpool game in half and the hosts tried to organize something meaningful in front of Sorensen, but H Gog tandem – Kite did not work particularly well.
Lucas penalty then fell into single combat with Higimbotam and "red" demanded a penalty but the referee ruled yellow card for simulation Lucas.
Stoke manager had to make two forced changes after Rory Delap and Fayette received injuries in the middle of halftime. Wilkinson and Lawrence appeared on the field, the primary loss of "potters" of these changes was that there was no longer any long throws touch the manner in which Delap knows.
By the end of the first part of the hosts ruled the ball more, but generally clean goal positions before the two doors were absent and both teams are naturally pulled to rest in a scoreless draw.
Liverpool went out of their hard-half minutes early in the second half, a "potters" seemed very enthusiastic and with all forces sought to discover the outcome.
In a 56-minutes, however, after a header from a free-kick Aurelio, Sotiris Kirgiakos benefit from killing the ball badly by Sorensen and opened the scoring – 0:1!
Then hit the ‘red’ equaled game for a certain period of time, they ruled the initiative on the ground, but failed to materialize in the second hit.
In the last 15 minutes on the pitch and show the new addition Maxi Rodriguez. And just when everyone thought that Liverpool would take a valuable three points, "potters" press and ultimately to 89-minute after a header from a corner, Robert Hut equal – 1:1.
In the instructions given by the referee five minutes for the hosts could even win the match, but Eteringtan strike wall after a shot from free kick.
Literally in the final seconds after a good cross from the left, Dirk Kuyt head hit the side beam of the goods, it was interesting and the last position in this meeting.
