Game over. Our defence is terrible. Ash is and has been poor this season. I have serious doubts that Chico is good enough for the premier league. I fear that even if we do score, there's not much we can do to stop Stoke scoring more goals.
What a load of tripe. I think we're going to be luckyto stay up this year. No shape, no clue. Completely hopeless again!
A bit early to say that (plenty of poor teams in the prem this year). After all, we did lose 2-0 at home and away to them last season. Plus it's going to take a few games for the 'new' team to gel together.
Hopefully there is 3 worse teams than us this season because we keep playing like this and relegation is going to be the only outcome. Completely clueless!! It;s not second season syndrome, not 'we have been found out' and it's not that we have lost too many players from last season.....it is that we are playing like a bunch of twats with next to zero passion or commitment!!
My take on it yeas I do feel there are three worse teams than us, but if we keep playing like this then it's going to be a long hard season. We all now what Stoke would do high pressing to stop us playing. Even the untrained eye can see now let alone Premier League Manager, that is you press us high up the pitch you can get a result against us. Look at the last three games Villa, Everton and Stoke have all done that very same tactic and got a result. We need to know when to play football and when not. Against teams like Stoke we are going to have to vary our play. Oh I do hope for a better second half but I'm not holding my breath.
very poor, does ML have a hair dryer, because they need to wake up and start playing with a bit more hwyl chico pls man up and stop giving the ball away ffs
Just like us, today, you are ****ed! Looking really gloomy for us now, no bite up front and just never look like scoring.
very poor half - we all knew Stoke would lump balls in and we would struggle to deal with them and thats exactly whats happened, the really dissapointing thing for me is the way weve given the ball away in midfield and failed to create anything - looking for a big reaction in the 2nd half
