Is there anything more frustrating than this?

Final score	Liverpool	0 – 0 (HT 0 – 0)	Stoke City
Bookings	Skrtel 85		Fuller 90

	Liverpool's Percentage	Stoke City's Percentage
Corners	20   86%	3   14%
Goal attempts	27   90%	3   10%
On target	11   84%	2   16%
Fouls	8     44%	10  56%
Offside	1     25%	3    75%

The above is analysis I found on the Guardian for the Liverpool Stoke game. Dear Lord, 27 attempts at goal and not a single one went in?It looks like Liverpool bossed over the game, did everything but score. and I guess  the only thing they can draw solace from is that Stoke did not sneak in a goal. The stats look more like one of Arsena's exercises in futility. Work so hard, win corners, lord over the field, corner all posession - but not score a goal.

It drives the fan nuts as you are out there believing a breakthrough is imminent any moment even to the final second only to be deflated. The fact these are gimme points and that too at your home field makes it really painful. Liverpool fans, I feel your pain though I can't help be happy over the fact that it is one challenger less if you keep this up.

How do you go from beating Manyoo to this? I guess this is what they call a letdown, again something all too familiar to me as an Arsenal fan. I guess this is what separates us from Manyoo and Chelsea - the ability to win games they are shitty in.

Just found out that Gerrard had a goal disallowed unfairly. Talk about adding insult to injury.
