Stoke away post match thread

Monchengladbach beating Bayern 3:0 so guess it might not be just to Sevilla for us to take top spot in CL group.
 
Today was a really really poor display when will sterling ever beat a player! No heart or passion in the performance only delph who looked like he was interested
 
The manager has to be to blame for so many inept performances. We have absolutely no game plan - there is no pressing no midfielders bombing on to join attacks,

We basically put 11 players out and hope one or two of our front 4 score some goals.

Considering how much we have spent we have so many bang average players - MDM, Kolorov, Sagna, Fernando ( he is rubbish), Bony, Navas - these are all regulars in our first team.

I have given Delph and Otamendi and Sterling the benefit of the doubt as they are new, but 50 Mill for sterling was daylight robbery
 
Just got back. Don't know where to start. The lack of fight and passion was scary. We've become a real Jekyll and Hyde team once more. Losing showing some spirit and giving it a go is one thing but rolling over isn't acceptable......
 
It's embarrassing how easy it is to play through us. Our defending is all over the place, no organization and communication. Why we play a high line with Demichelis, Sagna & Kolarov is baffling. Fernando was awful on the goals, rashly going to ground and Kolarov as we know cannot defend. Going forward we have few players who want to run with the ball, take a man on and make runs in behind the defence. This ends up with us playing possession football with little incision, holding the ball for too long and players all coming deep instead of making runs ahead of play.

Still we rely on one man to organise and lead us from the back. Though if he continues to pick up numerous injuries a season we have to rethink our plans. Not many top teams have a new centre back partnership every week or two because of their main man getting injured frequently.

I feel sorry for Hart the most this season, outstanding performances yet 2 clean sheets in 11 games I think.
