Match Day Thread Stoke v Hull City

Surprised there hasn't been any comments on belloumi. He has been awful. Drameh much the same.
Edit I see there is now

 

I'm never one to criticise refereeing but this teet has let some pretty poor fouls go unpunished?

That aside,what a gift for them from their corner!!

We've had the majority of the ball but we're huffing and puffing and dithering in the final third.Huge half of Football coming up,it's sink or swim time!!!

 

Ömür has only three assists since joining City. I think he needs dropping, frankly.

 

What’s Jake saying about the fouls?
No commentary where I am!

 

Opinions differ - for me he is no better that Docherty and most on here would agree Doc is a good league 1 player

 

Sky agreeing 100% red card...,

 

If your defenders are static and the attackers are running from a corner, there’s only one winner of the ball. Rubbish!

 

When will TW begin to work on our inept ability at testing a ****ing keeper?

 

Just as I predicted. A bumming.

 

All 3 pundits saying the Gibson foul on zambrano should have been a red

 

Absolutely, he has. I think the team has been that bad though, that the refs decisions pale into insignificance.

 

If Jake is the name of the City commentator, then he isn't saying anything about the fouls.

In fact, I'm pretty sure he's from the Neutral Planet, given that he shows zero emotion about anything at all.

 

I actually think Drameh did quite well that half, an upgrade defensively on … **** forgot his name.

 

Tbf only just started watching but pundits saying we’re hard done by def red card

 

I remain confident that Wally will get us out of this division - just not in the direction we all hope for

 

Glad the idiot is gone off here . Think we are playing some good stuff but we are weak in the box at both ends , Stoke are massive at the back and know they can muscle us off it . They like Sheff Utd are just sucking us in and breaking , they have two fast midfielders and a set of dirty players who the ref is letting be , Coyle should have been screaming at the ref not just holding his hand out .

 

I don't think there is any promise. I would suggest there are 3 or 4 players who give a **** and the rest are picking up the cheque and never going to fight for the cause.

 

Will never know wtf the ref was looking at with the forearm smash. ****ng joke

 

A lot of the same old problems. Plenty of decent positions but absolutely nowhere near scoring a goal. Have we had a shot on target? I don't remember one. Final ball consistently terrible and as is so often the case, everything from the edge of the area is blasted twice the height of the goal - we really don't talk about this enough, we're ****ing abysmal at shooting from mid-range and we were last season too.

And then we concede the simplest goal you could think of. And yet it's a type of goal we absolutely never score ourselves.

To be fair, we haven't lacked fight which was my biggest concern before the game.

It's just that what we're doing isn't working at all.

 

Jake Livermore is doing the sky coverage.
