Stoke away post match thread

As has been said above - another shambolic performance just before a European game. Doesn't MP realise that if we don't finish in the top four then there won't be any Champions League football. Two points out of twelve from our last four away games is totally unacceptable. I really feel for the travelling fans, they turn up in numbers, shout encouragement to their heroes and what do they get in return - absolute rubbish.

Today's result is all Yaya's fault, he didn't turn up for this game, invisible for the whole 95 minutes, and his teammates were wandering around looking for him. (Shit, just remembered he was injured that was why he wasn't there).

Being serious - we played that whole game with ten men, Bony is just not suited for our style of play - there is simply no movement from him for the "creative" players to put balls into space. Sterling took too many wrong options today trying to beat players rather than playing the ball into the box (Oh just a minute there was no one in the box to play to). The only defenders that seemed to try were Sagna and Otamendi the others were just not switched on defensively and Fernando was hopeless today, just when I thought he was coming good.

I honestly expected a half time reaction (as per Liverpool) but no, same starting 11 until the 60th minute.

I'm getting a bit pissed off at getting up in the early hours of the morning with great expectations only to have then shattered by players that don't perform. The only consolation I had today was that I was sitting in a nice warm house not suffering like those poor souls who were at the Britannia.

That's my two cents worth, its up to MP and the squad to turn it around YET AGAIN.

1st why did he start with that donkey Bony. We were playing 3/4 of the game without a striker. Iheanacho should have been given a chance. Bony has had his chance & failed. 2nd are Silva & Ferandininho injured? if not why take them off. Yes neither was having a great game but who was & they both can change a game in an instance. More than can be said of Navas who came on & like normal did nothing. We can say its because of injuries. Yes that is a big part. But with all the money spent & available why have we not got strength in depth? We have meant to have a good academy going. So why not give one or two a chance. Surely they can't do any worse than some of the ones who played today Demichelis springs to mind. We have a manager & his assistants who show no passion for the club. When did MP jump out of his seat & scream orders? Something we are never likely to see. He won the Prem with Mancini's team & I will always believe that. We have not improved since then but taken a step backwards.

I disagree. There's plenty of quality out there for similar prices to those we paid for Yaya, Silva, Kun and in particular Kompany. Bony is so unsuited to our style it's unbelievable but we still threw away £25m on him at a not too dissimilar cost to the players mentioned.

Agree on Bony . Who are all the other top players you were thinking about that were available and we should have bought for half the price ? Cant think of any myself !!

Sorry but I had to turn off after 15 minutes...no spirit, leadership, desire need I go on?

Embarrassed I'm afraid

I confess that I was tempted to go back to bed at about the same time - but then I thought, NO, there are City fans having to tolerate not only the hostile environment that is Stoke but also the taunts of the home fans - so I stayed to the bitter end but switched the computer off when the final whistle went.
 
this has got the end of bobbys era all over it, pellers knows hes goin, the players know hes goin and no one seems to give a fuck, its just like the cup final against wigan being played out every week
 
What the fuck is going on here? MP is either trying to get himself sacked or just doesn't give a fuck.
Zero passion , Zero desire, it always appears that they've just met in the car park before the match. The owner must be going crazy. This is totally unacceptable for a squad that costs this much.
One thing, Leicester are top and 3 points clear of us. If they don't sort this shambles out, we will be lucky to stay in the top 5 let alone challenge for the title.
 
We could easily have lost than 5-0 and had absolutely no complaints.
Completely disjointed, no heart, no desire.
Demichelis and Fernando should never play for us again.

4-1 tottenham, 4-1 liverpool and a (very flattering) 2-0 against stoke when they have played together.
 
Has anyone blamed the officials for the result?

I don't but I do think we had yet another display of refereeing inconsistency. Otamendi got a yellow but the Stoke players didn't for similar offences.
