Stoke post match thread

Home form has been crap all season. How many games have we won convincingly in the league?

Disappointed... but still optimistic about the champs league
 
Stoke got it right to nullify the wings and try and counter. Is odd that with Kev, Yaya and Ferny in the midfield, most of passes from them, the majority went back to the back four. The game was crying out for Silva to move and create space in the Stoke midfield from as early as the 10th minute.

would have feared Stoke more if Crouch had played. He's a bit of a bogey player aganist us, so knowing he wasnt playing just told me that Stoke came for a draw and hope to sneak a goal. And for the majority of the game, we created knowing threatening through the middle until Dave came on.

Agree entirely, it just didn't work out for us last night. When we did create a chance we couldn't get a shot on target. Clearly we do not have the depth of squad that we need especially with injuries to Gundogan and Jesus.
 
The lack of tempo at the start of our games has been a regularly disappointing recurring these this season. We then put pressure on ourselves late in game. I can only assume that our stats for early goals are extremely poor. The decision to not start Dave was piss poor
 
Seriously garbage passing by the whole team last night.
Still we didn't concede, so that's a bonus.
 
that was a glimpse to the bad old days of frustration, best consigned to the history books never to be spoken about again
 
I think Chelsea have a free run but you have at least try and catch them. If nothing else it puts you further cemented in the top 4. Madness to throw those points away last night. Arrogance as per.

Last night's game was more important than Monaco and Boro. Playing players like Navas essentially admits a dense of arrogance, Pep was far too slow to admit his mistakes and change it. What's Nolito got to do to get a game?
 
Was piss poor game but we had enough opportunities to win that game. We so missing a 6 foot plus attacker though.

Guadiola is doing exactly what Pelligrini did, he`s tossed off the milk cup, which would be fair enough apart from we threw it personally to the Scum. last night through team select we handed the title to Chelsea. Just who were we saving Sterling and David Silva to play against.

I'd argue you lose Monaco and Boro you win nothing this season, so no, last night's game wasn't more important.

Further, people need to shut up about Navas. He played quite well last night and wasn't the reason we couldn't take our chances.

As for Nolito, he's done little the few times he's played. Huddersfield for example. Don't know why you think he deserves a game based off poor performances in training and in games.

Pure hyperbole.

Unsurprising from a poster who has waited quite some time to bring back the "no better than Pellegrini" bullshit.

Saying that KDB, Yaya, Sane, Aguero, Dinho et al was evidence we handed the title to Chelsea is an insult to the quality of those players. You think that squad wasn't good enough to beat Stoke? We had our chances but just didn't take them.
