Match Day Thread Stoke City v. Swansea City

Mon-te-ro he'll make you **** your pants, he'll make you **** your pants, he make you **** your pants.

 

Need at least a point

 

Arsenal 4-0 up now - if they can get another 4 in the last few minutes we go above Watford

 

Norwich have won 3-2

 

Paloschi is an 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% improvement over gomis

 

Well we've had a decent 15 minute spell. We just need to turn that into a 90 minute thing.

 

Sunderland draw

 

Get in

 

Good draw

 

Decent result all round

 

Very happy with a point..

 

Great point, but could have been 3 if we had gone for it from the start BK is spot on with 2 wingers they struggled to deal with us.

 

Great result and a huge day in terms of the other fixtures.

Monty and either Routs/Barrow and Palo must start every game from now on. I'll kill Guido myself if he reverts back to type.

This is the result that keeps us up lads

 

Final scores

Norwich 3-2 Magpies
Mackems 0-0 Baggies

Phew! we got out of jail there

 

Solid draw. The thing that got us moving here was taking Britton off and putting Monty on. Britton was as poor as he has been - slow, outmuscled, sloppy in possession. Taking him off and leaving Fer and Cork to deal with Stoke's physicality was the turning point. We no longer had a passenger in the midfield consistently losing out. Monty obviously did his thing - constant attacking of his man and turning the opposition around, dragging a midfielder out of position whenever he got the ball as they felt the need to double-mark him. Against the bigger teams, I'm starting to feel like unless we're going to play on the front foot, Britton just isn't an option. If we're intent to play defensively, Britton should not be on the park.

 

Guidolin rectified his earlier **** up with the starting line up. Way too reactive a manager. Fair play, his reaction paid off today with two good subs but the line up was all wrong to begin with.

Good performance from the players.

 

We have Chelski at home I think next, with that cheating git Costa out, so I think we can get a win next week...........

 

We could still be playing tomorrow with the diamond and we still wouldn't score. We MUST play our wingers if we want to score goals. Barrow on one wing with Montero on the other is just ****ing lethal. Siggy in the middle with Palo up top. As much as I like Ayew, he just doesn't fit our system.
Good result in the end and hopefully a massive eye opener to Guido to once and for all ditch the pissing diamond!

 

It was a poor performance from Leon today but you only have to look back at the Villa game where he changed the game when he came on on the 2nd half

 

Naughton needs to go back at RB instead of Rangel (he's finished for me, his legs have sadly gone) and Kingsley at LB.
