I think we look good actually. As do they. Two decent teams going at it. No complaints from here. Every chance of getting back in this and 3 points, just as there's every chance of them getting another breakaway goal.
We can win this game if we start playing better. The chances are there for us, we just haven't played well. Yoshida will have to come on at the half not long after. Although Cedric is having a pretty crap game anyway, so maybe not a big deal. On the bright side, VVD is still awesome.
Overall not too bad. Stoke used their opportunity, we had a couple of ours but wasted them. I feel there are more goals in this match.
Can still win this. Need to improve in the final third; poor decisions made by a number of players. We have seen that a few times this season. Get an early goal in the second half and sets up us nicely. They do look good on the break but suspect they will sit deeper as the second' half progresses. Need to stay positive.
Yeah agreed. Surprised there's been no shots on target actually. Our build-up play has been encouraging when we've been brave and pinged it about quickly. Other than his shooting, Clasie has been excellent. Pelle has been doing his job well, Long's looked busy, Davis solid as ever and Tadic tricky. Obviously Vic has been Vic too. We need that Mane unpredictability though. I think Berty and Tadic will get the better of Johnson at some point in the second half though and we'll score.
I think we've played really well. We have created quite a few chances, but the final ball has been lacking.
Today was a good opportunity, however we are letting it get away from us. Credit to Stoke who are underrated and should be two ahead.
