Rodgers in real need of some home help

Liverpool 0 Stoke 0

With the international break looming, the Reds are one of only five teams in the top-flight without a win in front of their own supporters after another bitterly frustrating afternoon at Anfield.

Stoke secured a hard-earned point in a game where the foul count almost matched the number of days since Liverpool fans last saw their team win a league game at Anfield. Liverpool withstood Stoke’s heavy-handed tactics — the Potters face an FA fine after having six players booked — to carve out enough chances to have comfortably pocketed the points.
