It's not just his tactics (or lack of) that are predictable.... From the beeb 2150: Stoke 3-1 Liverpool Here comes Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers. I wager the phrase 'disappointing' will be used by him more than once. 2152: Stoke 3-1 Liverpool Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers: "We had a perfect start with our first penalty of the season. You couldn't ask for any more but we are very disappointed by how we defended. We have nobody to blame but ourselves, you have to defend better than that. We failed to control the game once we scored, we didn't deal with the first ball forward. "To concede from a corner is bitterly disappointing. When you defend like that it's difficult to gain a result. It's disappointing. "Stoke are really committed to the cause. You know you get a difficult game against them, but we never took a foothold in the game and that's really disappointing. Luis Suarez has been playing with a swollen ankle for the last few weeks so we will assess him and see how he is."
