Stoke post match thread

[inbetween]

If we had won 1-0 in the end no-one would of been questioning the selection. We had some good chances and missed them all. Silva was on for half an hour and we looked better but it didn't make any difference. I don't think Sterling would of made that much difference either, just one of those nights.

On the positive side, unbeaten in 6 and another clean sheet for what you would think is the worst defence in the league. Not a bad time to play Arsenal or Liverpool, Chelsea will be obviously tough but only because they have a manager who really knows what he is doing.

The best team is't always the same team. We looked very jaded and slow in the 1st half especially

When you play Navas you're essentially playing with ten men. He offers nothing as an attacking threat.

Players get rested and rotate, last season we were dead at the end of the season. The only current top six club that has rotated little has been Chelsea because they ain't in Europe. Even Liverpool have had to rotate. Silva cannot play every match and Sterling looked a little jaded last time out . Pep has to rest players.

If Silva starts Sat then all well and good. If he doesn't then it's a mistake.

When was the last time the shitbag scored in the premier league?

2014?

Not if you're also playing Clichy

We were lethargic
All credit to Stoke. Their stifling of the game worked

Why didn't Sane get a foot on that last KDB cross?

No.

No credit to Stoke. There race is ran. They could have come for a game of football, instead Leslie decides to stick one on his former employers.

That's what that was all about. They've been to the big teams this season and they haven't played that way before.

Make no mistake. That was Leslie vs mcfc

yup agree on that one...waste of a team space every time he plays.....not his fault tonight as he wasn't on his own but its a regular occurrence for him

Clean sheet, but we need new full backs. Defending fine, but their attacking play is non-existent.

Silva didn't look tired after Sunderland or when he came on.
Why can't we manage "tiredness" between games? Give the ones you're concerned about time off.

 

[Manc in London]

That first 45 mins was about the dullest half I ever watched.

Based on that game, you have to think that Silva is our key man.

Cardiff in the 13/14 season. Feels crazy that he's been here so long.
