We might have to take Sandro off early today. He's getting carried away with Stoke's physicality and the ref's only giving it one way at the moment.
Very frustrating half. Didn't create enough and faced a very inconsistent ref. We need to stop getting involved with the way that they want to play and use our width better. Adebayor and Defoe don't seem to be on the same wavelength and they need to start paying more attention to what's going on.
I'd like to see that elbow again... there are lots of refs on lots of grounds who would have given that. Strange how we can have two bookings against their zero considering how physical they are. They get away with a lot, there was a clear nudge on Walker that he ended up heading out for a corner, that was clearly a foul not a corner.
We are giving them the run around if we carry on we will get the reward. Refs. a bit iffy to say the least.
v frustrating afternoon. stoke don't care what happens as long as they don't lose. such negative football all the ****ing time.
hoof ball to crouch now. let's see if we get as many fouls go against crouch for stoke, as they used to against us when he played for us!! on a slightly lighter note, i currently have 4 scores out of 6 correct on sky sports super 6. 100k prize isn't it?
