Stoke away post match thread

[mancity1]

If Stoke had won that four or even five-nil, we could have no complaints whatsoever. In fact, if I were a Stoke fan, I'd be quite annoyed about that finishing. The absence of Vinny is no longer an excuse, at least, not for that spineless shambles.
We've got Arsenal and Leicester at their places coming up, and in reality nothing particularly easy. By Boxing Day, we will know whether we're in or out of the title race. The club will keep Pellegrini till the summer. Then he'll be gone.

Could be too late by then at least 6 sides could win the title this year and of them we are the most inconsistent now although we have been pathetic away from home for sometime now and already lost twice at home.

We have been comprehensively beaten 3 times already and we are 15 games into the season.

By far the worst performance by any side at Stoke this season.

Zaba meets stars Quo? - we are super rich? - China investment? - who cares man! we've become lazy, self-indulgent and bloated, the hunger has gone - Klopp any day for me
too much cheap razzamataz - need the hunger back.

THin the main problem is, we stand off sides too much. We have the ball, other teams close us down.
Why do we not do the same ? Stand there admiring their football. Added to that, we couldn't pass water
today.

I didn't think things could get any worse than after the Liverpool demolition job on us, how wrong I could be, a decent team would have put 6 or 7 past us today.

I'm not sure were we go from here to be honest, we hit a new low today and woeful doesn't even sum up how poor we were.

"It's because we have to play the same 12 or 13 players each game".

Yet he drops Delph after 1 start and leaves Kelechi on the bench. He's absolutely lost it.

that pissed me off so much. we have loads of players we could be using, but he never uses them in cups especially. Nacho, roberts, delph, he doesn't trust anyone other than the same 11

We have progressively gone worse under this managers time at the club, he won the league with Mancinis team

First laugh of the day. Thanks for cheering me up, Tricky. Did he really say that? And do people actually get paid for going onthe telly and sounding as thick as pig's shit?

Yes he said it. I had to pause the tv whilst I cried laughing and then went back to watch it again! He was talking about our style being to out score the opposition, since we don't keep too many clean sheets. He said normally we're fine, "but when they don't score they hardly ever win and that's when it becomes a problem". Ok, thanks Michael.

the conditions were horrendous and any skill advantage was negated , but stoke wanted it more , our players just didnt want to be there , if stoke had won 6-0 we couldnt have complained , how Mp can get so little out of a squad of players like this is really unfathomable . MP is papering over the cracks , on paper it looks OK , semi finals league cup , qualified for europe , top of the league , but this squad is only producing 50% of what they are capable of , we should be winning this league in a canter , topping the champs league groups , and playing our fringe players in the league cup and still getting to the final , the buck stops with the manager.

I've tried to stand up for MP, but i can't any longer. There seems no plan or system and if everone is not
on there game, we get mullered.

Shameful display with no excuses

They look much better in Europe for years. With the football we play on days like this and they happen not so rare, we'd struggle in ultacompetitive Ligue 1 too just like we struggle pretty much anytime we play against european sides.

the French league is shite compared to the premiership , the only comparison you can make is the champs league ,we look like we will finish 2nd to last years finalists , how have PSG done ?
