• Stoke – Liverpool 6-1 (5-0)

(Dagbladet): Steven Gerrard should be thanked in his very last Liverpool match tonight, in what would become a worthy farewell for a player who has given his whole sports career to the club.

Instead of a touching farewell became a nitrist show at Stoke, against a team that had nothing to play for. And Liverpool were suitably attired in black costumes for the occasion.

Gerrard has never experienced losing by more than four goals in the league as long as he has played for Liverpool. Today was Liverpool under with five goals already to break. The Reds have never conceded four goals at half earlier in the Premier League ever, according to statistics agency Opta.

You have to go back to the meeting with Coventry in 1992 last Liverpool conceded five goals total in a league match (1-5).

It was therefore not surprising that Steven Gerrard looked like a beaten man as he walked in the locker room at half time.

– Liverpool fans deserve a excuse. This was embarrassing, says Brendan Rodgers after the game, courtesy of several Liverpool journalists in social media, among others James Pearce.

Brendan Rodgers has recently stated that he is sure he is manager at Anfield next season.

– I’m 150 percent sure to stay. I have good communication with the owners and shall talk to them after the season is over, he said, according to The Telegraph.

It depends what the owners are thinking about just that after today’s performance.

– If owners want me to go, I go. It’s that simple. But I still feel that I have much to contribute here, says Rodgers after Stoke-blunder.

BBC expert and former Arsenal player Martin Keown ask himself whether he is good enough.

– It does not look like Brendan Rodgers has control right now. The question is whether he is a good coach or a good manager, says Keown said.

Before the game chose Rodgers placing Raheem Sterling on the bench after all the fuss that has been around the wing recently.

– I can not believe what I see. This result has removed Raheem Sterling from the headlines. Now it’s all about Brendan Rodgers. Now he must convince the owners and fans that he has not lost the locker room, says former Tottenham striker Garth Crooks to the channel.

Weak defending

Several of the goals to Stoke was as a result of weak keeper – and defending. Simon Mignolet, who fought for the Golden Glove for having kept a clean sheet as many times in the league, had no good day. Hopes of a donut on the scoresheet was probably replaced with the desire to comfort eat donuts.

Good day at work had neither the changing career to stop / full-back Emre Can that donated Stoke one goal. He is rewarded with stock grade 2 in Liverpool Echo.

It all peaked before the fire when former Liverpool player Charlie Adam scored the 4-0 down at the bar. There are many players who do not cheer against his former club by creating a goal, it does not apply to Charlie Adam.

Earlier Molde player Mame Biram Diouf scored first two measures that shocked guests. Afterwards he the black-clad never to rise.

Steven N’Zonzi was the man who blasted Stokes fifth goal before the break.

“Speechless,” was all Liverpool’s former manager Roy Evans wrote on Twitter.

consolation

In the second half would still Gerrard get his farewell goal. The captain went on a good run from deep and put it checked into the far corner from an angle.

It was probably a poor consolation for the midfielder as the goal was Liverpool’s top scorer in the league with nine goals, and the celebration was then .

Stoke fans responded by applauding the 34 year old after scoring.

Crouch-scoring

Liverpool would still not win the second half, Peter Crouch would also note for a goal against his former club. It meant also that the result was so bad that Tottenham could play a draw against Everton and still take sixth place.

Southampton defeat against Manchester City, Liverpool is still ensured games in the Europa League.

Liverpool went simultaneously the worst loss in the club’s Premier League history. Last club conceded six goals or more was in 1963 when the club lost 7-2 against Tottenham.
