Match Thread Stoke City vs Everton 15:00 pm Saturday 17th March

I reckon Stoke will score from their first (/next) corner.

If ONLY we had someone who can hold on to the ball and run at defenders other than Walcott.

 

[riddick]

I mean, this is pretty embarrassing, no? Our passing has to be like 65%.

Davies has been bad, but at least he's moving into space. Conditions are bad, but why are we just giving it away constantly under no pressure? It's just gotta be Sam pushing them to move it quickly.

Rooney has been awful on the ball. There is space all over the pitch. I can forgive Cenk a bit in terms of the conditions and adjusting to the ball, I can forgive some of the wayward crosses as well, but forcing stupid passes with no pressure is just unforgivable.

I ALMOST want Morgan in. ALMOST mind you.

Bolasie surely needs to go off at this point. He seems to be struggling the most in these conditions. Davies is struggling as well so maybe a Calvert Lewin should come into the game and put more pressure on their back line

No thank you

With no pressure.

Great. Now they’re down to 10 men get Schneiderlin on and try for a valiant point.

Allardyce heard you say this ^^

Almost 3am here Lads....do I call it a night?

(For clarity, it’s 27C here so tough to sleep in the heat anyway)

 

[Osamabindiesel]

No thank you

The Prince?

 

[Big Fat Sam]

No thank you

Aye.

Bolasie for DCL instead, can't be any worse.

 

[Kiwi]

Conditions are dire. Pretty hard to play decent football when the ball is sticking to the snow like it is. We've been sloppy though.

 

[brownmola]

In these conditions, get Niasse on. Need a poacher, doubt there’ll be any real service in the 2nd half.

Goodnight mate, sleep well.

 

[banno]

No Vlasic as option unfortunately

It's criminal

 

[BigBlueConk]

The match is exactly that which many predicted it would be.
Where is the surprise?
