Match Thread Stoke City v Everton 1/2/17 KO 8pm GMT

[paulbefc]

Poor from pretty much everyone I thought. They got their tactics right and cut off the route to Lukaku.

We've been let off the hook really. Well done to Joel for the two saves.

Better performance second half and we can nick this.

Defensively appalling. Mark my words, Stoke will absolutely score in the second half if this continues. We need 3 or 4 goals to win this game.

No we need koeman to sort it and the players to listen

 

[Mickey]

Well I don't think we can play any worse second half. So there's that at least.

 

[eurosrees]

Schneiderlin is a proper midfielder, looks for a killer pass sometimes too, him and Gana are gonna be ace.

 

[Abraders]

Everton to win with lukaku and lookman scoring

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Easing into this game but holes in our defence today. Rom doesn't seem arsed and this is where it would be great if we had a quality back up. City dropped aguero today and Jesus has scored and got an assist and been brilliant. Rom has no contender.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Garbage half. Front 3 no coherence and the defence all at sea.

Joel has been excellent and we are lucky to be level.

Rollock them at half time Koeman and come out and school this gang of mutants.

 

[Jags..class]

Wow didn't relized Stoke players were a bunch of cheats. Our defence has been out of sorts tonight. Thanks to Robles we are still in this.

Schnieiderlin having a good debut
Need to see more from the usual two in Mirallas and Barkley.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Positive: We cant possibly be that bad 2nd half

 

[BigBlueConk]

We are 1-1 in a game where we haven't turned up.
Second half has to better, can not be worse can it?

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Schneiderlin absolutely majestic.

Lukaku stinking.

Davies not as good as previous 2 but you know a moment of boss is around the corner.

COYB

I don't think he has been that bad either. If he has done anything, poorly it has been his tackling. Needs to win the ball a bit more (Davies)

 

[eurosrees]

that was as bad as it gets, holgate playing like hes never been on a pitch before.

To be fair, he's only been on a Premiership One around 10 times, cut him some slack.

 

[MikeH72]

Deffo next target after Cleverley.

Coincidence that all the "targets" are crap footballers?

 

[COYBL25]

looking back they were only overrunning us through a belief gap

hopefully with a leveller and a halftime sub miralles - lookman/Valencia we should get this job done

Sorry mate, but what's a " belief gap " ?????????

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Each time I watch Joel play, I am more and more impressed. He could hold down the no.1 for 5 years, absolute class.

Said when he was getting slagged off that all he needed was a good run of games to show how good he was.
