Stoke City v Southampton match thread

I agree with you. I praised NA for his starting line up but your right we did nothing tactically to affect the game when they went down to 10.

Its a point which we would of taken before hand but disappointed because all three were there for the taking.

 

Far too many.

Man City. Man Utd. Everton. Fulham. Swansea. Norwich. Stoke.

17 (?) points dropped from winning positions.

 

Weird ain't it. He was the main reason we were 3-1 up in the first place.

 

Isn't gomarchingin due about now? Or is the fact it was still a decent result enough to keep him away?

 

Yes lets continue to play all-out attack. You can't do it for 90 minutes away from home.

If we had continued piling forward, and been caught on the break you'd be all over NA for that too.

 

I'm disappointed too but you simply have to consider Stoke's sensational home form. But for goal of the season, we'd have won.

 

Mainly because we lost our composure and started handing the ball to them at every turn...just guessing, but that probably was not a tactical decision.

 

A point at Stoke is pretty good, but feels like a defeat after that first half.

 

When did i say we should go all out attack, stop twisting words. I said we should have stayed in the game, we basically sat on our ass and welcomed them into out half second half

 

Deserved to draw. Should of taken our chances a la Rodriguez and Guly. Fonte also blatantly hand balled it, which would of been a sending off as he already had a yellow. Think this games just shows we still aren't good enough against teams like Stoke, when they boss us around with a man down. Take the point, just a shame Reading and Wigan won as well

 

Throwing away a four goal lead is champions league form.

 

And they won't until someone goes with the mentality that they can beat them.

 

Positives are that before they played us they only conceded 4 games at home and now it's 7, and they have played a lot of good teams already

 

Some of you need to be put on prozac.

 

Adkins got the tactics/subs right today, so no point blaming him.

If your winning away from home, 10mins or so left, team's don't just keep attacking, attacking and attacking

 

good point but losing a 2 goal lead?! guly (who actually had a decent game) misses open goal then they score straight after, so frustrating. we seem to get the changes wrong all of the time, especially when they were down to ten. guly was blowing out of his hoop and should have come off on 70, lambert probably should have come off with ramirez on allowing us to keep possession instead of just thumping it back to them constantly. Adkins says hes learning all the time but he hasn't made any substitutions that have positively influenced a game this season. annoying but to reiterate i would have taken a point before hand and been happy. Just hope we can get something from arsenal now as unlikely at that will be.

 

A point at Stoke. Well done lads.

 

Gutted but its still a good point.

 

Good result.

 

Mixed reactions. Should have been game over before they got their 2nd but I'd have taken a point before the game started. Disappointed not to take 3 points but happy to get anything from the Britannia.
