Stoke post match thread

I'm yet to see a more useless sack of shit than Clichy. You can tell he's French by the speed in which he moves backwards.

I've never despised a player in the way I hate that prick.

I can accept a lack of talent in a player when they try hard. But that useless prick always takes the easy option. I've never seen a player pass backwards more than him. And it's embarrassing the way he is incapable of crossing the ball.

Pep needs to get rid of the shitbag immediately!

Harsh. But accurate.

Both full backs were terrible. Sagna might be able to defend but when they pass him the ball he ALWAYS looks for a pass backwards. And Clichy couldn't cross the road let alone a football. So many chances for the overlap wasted.

Sit down and have a word with yourself. There is no need for that towards our own player.

He's a liability who needs to be shipped of immediately.

He's been crap for the past 2 and a half seasons that's a fact.

He can't defend or attack and offers zero to our team

Crap.

KDB going missing yet again when he should be bossing these matches.

really unpopular but fully agree....

people say he is the replacement for silva...for me he has a long way to go regarding how to control and run again....he often goes missing when silva isn't playing.

That's such a ridiculously unfair comment.

1. You don't think any team parks the bus against City? Just watch Boro at the weekend.
2. We had our most creative and dangerous players on, like Sane, KDB, Aguero and latterly Silva. They all were off.
3. That we can't handle parked buses is something that needs to be addressed in the transfer window, though I do feel Jesus would have made the difference today.

Good post, this all combined with what seemed like a lack of gas in the tank, made for a non starter really.

Not starting sterling was baffling though, given sane started...which kind of makes a mockery of resting only only sterling.

City should have gone full strength at home where defensive play is far more likely, and played a weakened team at the weekend.

We've stopped creating chances under Pep the way we would with Pellers.
Pep has certainly had his fingers burnt a few times this season, hope he's learning quickly.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

I couldn't give a shit what he's achieved.

I've seen players such as Kolarov and Dzeko who have played a much bigger role in our success than Clichy get dogs abuse of fans.

Clichy is wank end of!

you said you hated him more then any city player you've seen. are you actually being serious ??. clichy is not wank, he didn't play well tonight i except. i just dont get the hatred for one of our own players.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Desperate for new full backs. It's no good playing this system when their clearly incapable of passing forwards.

It was just one of those games, move onto Saturday

 

[OB1]

Hugely frustrating.

Some big players didn't deliver when they needed to, KDB and Aguero, in particular. You do wonder if there is a mental issue at times against parked buses. Whole team lacked intensity.

Thought we might have had a penalty for a foul on Nacho when he missed his chance.

 

[Bluewonder]

He didn't do much wrong. Beat his man and put in a couple of decent crosses but as usual nobody much in the box.

Amazing that when Navas plays there's 'nobody in the box' but when Sterling plays he racks up assist after assist.
