What’s the point of all these little triangles if all you’re going to do is lose the ball or pass back to the goalie? No penetration. Chair seems to be playing deeper all of a sudden - you’re no use there, mate.
Ffs piss poor closing down there. This is a very lethargic performance today, summed up by a lazy penalty. No urgency, no real desire from us.
They’ve bullied us off our own patch, we’ve really missed Wallace and Uncle Albert in that wingback role, our back 3 look lost !!
We've been really **** since they scored their first. They always looked like scoring before we did. Another frustration is despite having twelve corners we haven't created anything from one of them. A bad day at the office for sure.
We've been second all over the pitch today. Mind you, if you play a defensive midfielder at left wing back I'm not sure you deserve anything. Very, very frustrating game. Stoke have been excellent.
I’ve no complaints about this result. Stoke had a plan and they’ve executed it perfectly. The pen could’ve been a turning point but Austin took that like a nervous rookie short of confidence.
