Match Day Thread vs Stoke (A)

Defence stretched there.... Crouch with the flick... Can and Lucas should have just both backed off, let him flick it and be there for the flick or bring it down.

No no point trying to challenge him for it and ending out of position

 

Meh.... just win it in 90

 

Absolutely agree I hate the away goals after extra time rule. Always have.

 

You take that accolade soft cock

 

Whelan does try to pull out but that doesn't stop his momentum from going into Allen. Clear penalty.

 

We sold him

 

Another deluded whiner

You won btw

 

Joke rules for a joke competition

 

Klopps hugging Stoke players lol

 

Stoke got done.

Good game.

I'm interested in the 433, is this allowing us to go do the job... is it Allen. ... is it milner.... or is it bentrke

Benteke should've ran a bit. I felt he let the guys on pitch down.

 

I remember Lucas getting sent off at Woodison for doing that in a cup tie. Didn't see one Bitter saying "Nah, it's just a mistake - he was pulling out".

 

Good win! Confident performance and it was very encouraging.

Standout performers - Can, Allen and Kolo in the end.

Firmino led the line well and whilst the touch isn't there yet, his intelligence anticipation and work rate are clear to see. Hopefully he can build on this.

 

Good result. That team embarrassed Everton not long ago

 

Considering the chopping and changing during the game and the already thin as **** squad due to injuries - was very happy with that

Some really frustrating play at times still but overall, they wanted it and didn't let up so well done

 

You mean like Skrtel does and you rip the **** out of him for it?

 

Got a rise out of you... plus I know I got your goat given the insult.




You've been trying it on on a pen call hoping stoke would score. ..

 

Here you are.

"He pulled out of the challenge". Apparently he's pretty bad at it as he didn't even slow down until he bounced off Allen. Who by the way wasn't in "mid dive" as he falls in a different direction than he was running. Unless Allen's mediocrity somehow defies gravity.

 

Well, can they do it on a wet Tuesday in Stoke?

Seems they can.

 

Can did the right thing - you still need to put pressure on Crouch because he has the ability to take the ball down as well. Clyne should have done better.

 

Agreed.

Needs quicker delivery and also composure but they did good.

Motm guys?

Allen... firmino... lucas?
