Stoke V City In Match Discussion Thread

Not bad

Why Milner for Barry? What is he going to do different?

Workrate and Barry's on a yellow.

We are barely holding on to the ball as is. We will lose it more with Milner over Barry. Tevez for Barry instead. Drop Yaya to the base of the Central 3 and Let Silva and Nasri be our Creators.

Again, my DPE equation would have predicted a struggle holding on to the ball. Balo, Micah, Kolo, Dzeko, Clichy, Harts. More than half the team below par on their DPE = Poor possession efficiency.

It never fails. The moment I sae the lineup, I was like Meh! Gonna be a struggle. Adding Milner for Barry will make that 7. Adding Johnson for SIlva will make it 8. Pretty much once that happens we might as well just start lumping the ball deep. coz we are not gonna posses it.

We need to sign Jesus and some other prophets in the next transfer window to have any chance of winning the league

I'm going to stick my neck on the line and change my mind.

Silva off, Tevez on. Dzeko off, Milner on.

Milner -- Barry
Nasri - Yaya - Tevez
Balotelli

Yes

milner on changes nothing unless he comes on for a striker.

tevez on barry off.

 

[BoyBlue_1985]

dzeko just cant be arsed, can see it in his play, lesser of 2 evils, well just so fuckface on useless kraut off

"useless kraut" ... you ignorant ****!!

Dzeko has been our only aerial threat in the first half.

Take him out - and forget crossing (i.e. get even more one-dimensional...if that's even possible).

I know you would bum Dzeko if you ever met him but you have to admit that performance was a complete embarrasment

 

[teddykgb]

Don't nderstsnd singling out Dzeko, he missed a header but was applying pressure, hardly dire.

I'd probably try Pizarro for Barry, just need to up the ball movement tempo to tire them out

 

[inbetween]

They aren't really threatening provided we just defend properly, i can see us nicking it. It will open up much more in the second half. Lets hope we are on the right side of the scoreline!
