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
 
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.
 
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?
 
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?

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.

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.

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.
