STOKE-ON-TRENT, England -- Three thoughts from Stoke 1-2 Liverpool at the bet365 Stadium.

Jurgen Klopp told his players to forget playing the "Liverpool way" ahead of his side's trip to the bet365 Stadium. Liverpool eventually took that instruction on board, but they required the help of two world class stars in Saturday's 2-1 comeback.
It looked to be another case of deja vu, Liverpool failing against the division's lower teams, when Stoke led over an hour into the contest, but the visitors had other ideas.
