Stoke (a) Match Thread

[G Richards]

Good ball Stevie to Suso, good ball Suso to Suarez. Nearly in. Come on lads. We can score more here.

[Jairzinho]

Would be nice if somebody told Steven to wake up sometime today.

 

Can we please play him further up the pitch. Would be less of a problem when he keeps giving the ball away.

[smicer07]

Stand up if you hate Suarez. Really?

[clangers]

Stoke walking through us.

 

Not just Stoke though, it's happened several times this season that to say that we're vulnerable to through balls is an understatement. Far too much space between Agger and Skrtel with no screening from midfield at all.

 

We've made a bit of progress over the last couple of months but these are kind of basics that should be being addressed.

[stringvest]

Wow.. we really need a psychiatrist for these players. They crap themselves as soon as there is any expectation or need to win.

 

I think what Jones knows is that our centre halfs really aren't all that.

[Barzini]

Jones beating Agger to every header, maybe Skrtel would do better

[FrenchEyeGlass]

None of our frontmen trying to spin the defenders and run in behind. That is the key. Playing in front of them won't get us far.

[benite]

Stoke's support is ridiculous...'stand up if you hate Suarez' followed by our support 'stand up for the 96'

[smicer07]

Jones, like Benteke and Drogba before him know that our centre halves can't handle anyone in the air

[Ranxerox]

some of those passes wouldn't knock over a house of cards

[Bobby Hundreds]

Bollox. Whoever trains our players how to strike and pass a ball needs therapy.

[stringvest]

Well played Downing - Gerrard should have done better there

[Ginny]

This pitch looks a bit dodgy. Everyone seems to be slipping

[Jairzinho]

I'd give Shelvey another five minutes.

[clangers]

None of our frontmen trying to spin the defenders and run in behind. That is the key. Playing in front of them won't get us far.

 

Yeah we always seem to be playing in front of the opposition unfortunately, very little 'penetration'.

[Red Banjo]

Stand up if you hate Suarez. Really?

 

Surely your not questioning the gigantic cuntishness of these inbred fucking wankers are ya?

 

They really are the most enormous fucktards imaginable.

[smicer07]

Oh god another set piece

[stringvest]

I'd give Shelvey another five minutes.

 

What? Like a particularly malodorous turd?

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

death by football

 

I'm going to assume you wrote this in the Fulham match thread, Scott?

 

We've been a bit unlucky here, what with the slip, but Shelvey hasn't done anything, Downing has been poor with his final ball (normally fairly solid) and has been a pussy, Gerrard hasn't been at the races again... Need to sort this out.

[Guest San Don]

I dont know who rodgers has as his defensive coach but he needs to have a word with him to get it sorted.

[benite]

fuck sake jon jo

[foamer simpson]

Shelvey once again is playing like a pub player who wrote into Jim'll fix it

 

 

This

[Elite]

Shelvey having a complete mare.

[Jairzinho]

What? Like a particularly malodorous turd?

 

He's played like one.

[smicer07]

All this fannying around
