Stoke away post match thread

It's dross at the minute. Attacking and defending.

4 wins in 10. Garbage.

Half the players we sign are wank and over priced and have no bottle.

Putting bony, Kolorov, Fenando and Demichellis in the same side is just asking for trouble.

Playing Demichellis at all after the shit he served up this season is baffling. Are our younger players really that bad that they would be worse than him.

Keeping him and letting denayer go was a huge mistake.

Just face it there will be no league title, no league cup, no Guardiola, no Messi, no Pogba.......just more disappointment and anger. Start making some money by backing the other sides, you get good odds and this is the only way City don't let you down.

We were fkn garbage in that first half
No excuses regarding the wind etc
We were shite and got what we deserved

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

no passion and no one looking like they cared

Shocking by the usual suspects, bony is a forward of nil quality, sterling is shite on the wing and offers fuck all.
The management is clueless in the extreme, to loan denayer and sell our forwards is frankly beyond a joke

"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.

Very poor. MD and Fernando just can't hack it against any pace and movement and should be offloaded as soon as possible.

Terrible tactics with a high defensive line and slow defenders. We make it so easy to play against us and we're not doing much with the ball either. We can get away with it when we have all our best players fully fit but when we lose 2 or 3 of them, we look a bit of a disaster.

Yet another bad day at the office, trouble is these bad days are becoming too regular these days.

 

[SalfordCityBlue]

Only one word for that - unacceptable.

We are getting it so right everywhere but on the football side. Realise that is less predictable than business, but we wouldn't run other parts of the business with subpar personnel, so why do we do it on the football side?

 

[Dribble]

Hughes has just admitted he deployed the same tactics as Klopp did and Brenda before him. They packed the midfield, hit the ball toward the pedestrian Kolarov, used speed and trickery to get past and BOOM, its in.

Just watched Manuel blame todays defeat on our injuries. He has a point as they don't help but having said that every team has injuries to contend with. Player for player we were superior to Stoke on paper, but in reality we needed to be at least equal or better than the sum of our parts, that is where a manager earns his corn. Can this be said of Manuel today?
