Taylor is a **** ref - how is that a booking for Wanyama??
 
Stream comes online just as Son scores (have a <Spurcat> on his hair dye) .
And then it looks a lot like AVB 2014 (Dier + Wanyama just does not work) .
 
Bony with a chance in the 876th minute of injury time. Bit much.

1-0 HT. Very poor start, but we improved and create bits and pieces after that.
A couple of sniffs before the goal, but we still looked miles off our best.
Taking Wanyama off in the second half is probably a good idea, as our midfield's still not working.

Still early days but this half did nothing to suggest it will. I stand corrected <laugh>
 
Bit conflicted about this. On the one hand we're winning and on the other hand that was quite possibly the worst first half of football I've seen.

Pochettino really needs to drop this Wnyama-Dier partnership, it doesn't work and slows us down. The only time it's looked alright is when we have Janssen up front as he has the hold up play to make something of the hoofs that are inevitable when you don't have anyone capable of bringing the ball up to the forwards. Other than Son our attack has looked all over the place too, Eriksen and Alli are showing no shape whilst Kane looks half asleep.

Should've had a penalty and the Stoke players have been buying a lot of freekicks. We need to be smarter though as we're playing into their hands since they keep getting the decisions.

Thank **** Stoke have been so **** so far. Need to improve for the second half though, they've done us with comebacks before.

Can't disagree...but Pochettino has turned things round in the previous matches so hopefully he can do the same today...not confident though to be honest
