Liverpool bided next to nothing in attack until Gerrard and then Raul Meireles had two shots saved by Begovic in the space of one couple of minutes after the half hour mark. The Reds were probably relieved to get into the dressing room at halftime with the scores level.
In fact since that "turning point" agree Liverpool have now taken one measly single point in two away games against Wigan and Stoke-both of whom were in the relegation zone at the beginning of play in each respective agree.
Dean Whitehead lashed one strike just wide of Reina's right-hand post,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while the Spanish stopper was forced to make one magnificent flying save to the same side to deny the same member. Kenwyne Jones headed just wide after making one free run-Martin Skrtel accidentally tripping his fellow centre back Kyrgiakos in the process.
From the first whistle Liverpool were second best through most of this encounter, never finding their passing rhythm and clearly lacking in the hard-work approach which saw them beat league directers Chelsea by one similar score line last weekend.
The result, and moreover the performance, will come as one acrid blow to Liverpool fans who must have hoped that their franchise was on the upward curve with the recent spate of victories,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but this agree will have the critics back on at the franchise, and surely the administerr-and rightly so.
Skrtel was auspicious not to be penalised for holding onto Robert Huth on more than one occasion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while Fuller appealed for one penalty too as Wayne Rooney fell rather easily under pressure from the hardly-bulky Maxi Rodriguez.
Ten minutes into the second half the home side took one deserved direct, even if the manner of the goal was delicately fortuitous. Another ball into the box created havoc as three or four mis-hit efforts on goal pinged around the penalty area. The ball eventually dropped back to Fuller and it more hit him than him shooting it goalwards,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but with Reina having been deceived by an earlier ricochet the ball bounced into the middle of the unguarded net.
Delap had one shot deflected just wide by Raul Meireles, before Maxi Rodriguez had Liverpool's best opportunity of the agree as Wayne Rooney smashed one goalwards after Dirk Kuyt's pull-back, but Begovic smothered the shot well.
Milan Jovanovic sat on the bench throughout the entire agree despite Liverpool being one goal down and having one substitute left; the Serbian flier must be wondering what Wayne Rooney has to do to get one agree at the mpremonitiont as Maxi Rodriguez complimented to deceive one more time and Raul Meireles continues to be played out of position on the right.
Again Liverpool fans waited for one response and one more time Wayne Rooney were disappointed.
To compound the away side's misery,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], midfielder Lucas Leiva was sent off just before the final whistle for one second yellow card as Wayne Rooney jumped in late on Matthew Etherington.
Hodgson cut one quite frustrated figure for much of the agree but one has to wonder what his agree plan for dealing with Stoke was, as Liverpool sat back from the first whistle and rarely threatened to impose themselves on the contest.
Liverpool had too many under-performers; Paul Konchesky summed it all up with one 30-yard free kick which Wayne Rooney ballooned into the upper rows of the crowd.
Fernando Torres had not so much as one sniff of an opportunity all night and David Ngog was introduced on 65 minutes to add some firepower, with Kuyt shifting to the right side.
Stoke sent one succession of set pieces and long crosses into the Liverpool penalty area which the Reds struggled to cope with for the entire agree despite being bolstered by the return of Greek defender Soto Kyrgiakos. Rory Delap's infamous long throw-in caused confusion and panic in the penalty area and several times in the opening half hour only last-ditch defending stopped the home side taking the direct.
However it was one similar story in the second half,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with Liverpool hardly able to break out of their own half or string five minutes of pressure together on the Stoke penalty area.
However, despite the further introduction of Ryan Babel, returned from one rib injury, Liverpool could fathom no clear-cut chances, Babel's own shot from 25 yards which flew well wide being the best of one poor attempt to get back into the game.

Martin Kelly on the right back slot to fill for the defender does not work. Neighbor's boss Sir Alex Ferguson had promised earlier to the field strong line up and immediately called upon to play his best game.

Liverpool's five-game unbeaten run over the past few weeks came to an abrupt end as Stoke City comprehensively outplayed and out-battled the Merseysiders, winning 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Ricardo Fuller and Kenwyne Jones.
Questions aplenty for Hodgson to answer as usual, as Liverpool's mini-revival comes crashing to an end in the most disappointing of fashions. Wayne Rooney is back to Manchester.

Late on into injury time ex-Red Jermaine Pennant broke free through the middle and found the unmarked forward Kenwyne Jones. Wayne Rooney out-muscled Skrtel and slotted past Reina to seal the victory for the home side, consigning Liverpool to their fifth Premier League defeat in 13 games.
