Amazing. Liverpool, City and Chelsea's away form is ****. Keeping the league tight.

Give Stoke credit, kept on battling. No excuses from Chelsea.

OK result for City today.

True. We lost to them at home. We've won 2 on the road so far. So have city. How many have you won? I can't be arsed to look it up. I think you've got the better away record though.
 
How much longer are we going to persevere with the very ordinary Cahill and an out of position left back, when we have 2 great left backs warming the bench?? Madness, egomania is thy name.
 
Our back 4 should give their weeks wages to a deserving charity after a Mickey Mouse performance on the road this week!

don't blame them completely, except maybe Cahill. They need some rest and rotation is needed, especially with the options we have.

Jose isn't that stupid to let his ego ruin us for that long.
See Lamps played 45 mins midweek and 30 mins today. So that shows, he is relenting on his stance.

had Mikel stayed on we wouldn't have conceded today.
Towards the end, Rambo was all over the place. Lamps doesn't have it anymore to defensively cover Rambo.

Several times Stoke had more attackers than our defense on the counter.

Sensible post compared to some schoolgirl kneejerk reaction
 
tbh, I don't blame Jose for pulling Mikel for Lamps when it was 2-2.
Ofcourse, he was going for the win and expected our back 4 to withstand the final few mins.

But Cahill acted like a little school girl turning away from the shot for their winner.
 
Impressed by Stoke's work rate and spirit. To beat them we had to by error free, and then the class would show through. JT had a shocker, and cech wasn't much better. Both seemed bedazzled by the forward's movement and found themselves in the wrong places. Cech called for the ball then retreated. JT let the striker turn in the box in fact JT went back and the opposite way.

Obi Johnkenobi looked solid and also used the ball simply and efficiently.
