Twitter reacts: Liverpool concedes 5 goals to Stoke City in baffling 1st half
Bye bye, Brendan Rodgers?
Sure, Liverpool has nothing to play for in their final match of the season, but allowing Stoke City to run roughshod over you like this is nothing short of humiliating.
The Reds were battered in the opening half of their season finale at the Britannia Stadium, conceding five (!) goals in a mind-blowing 45 minutes. This is no way to bid farewell to your iconic captain.
4 - Liverpool have conceded four goals before half-time in a Premier League game for the first time. Disarray.

Then the Potters bagged a fifth ...
5 - Stoke are the first team to score five goals vs Liverpool in a league game since Coventry in December 1992. Thumping.

Twitter users - as is common - wasted no time offering their thoughts on the scoreline:

Can’t really blame Raheem for wanting to escape this hot mess of a situation. #FreeRaheem

Obviously, this is just pre-planned by the two clubs so Gerrard can score six in the second half.
