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

If it was Siggy, he has strength, and relatively quick feet- he'd of drawn the mutants in and released Walcott. Davies just is far too weak. Vlasic holds it up better that him.

Second half, we really need to pepper that goal with long rangers, or even go two up top (a proper two up top).

Maybe so mate but it's such a stupid ball because very little could come of it. Our decision making is utterly embarrassng along with the absolute lack of movement just makes me want to end my laptops life with a fatal kick.

We are woeful at football which is upsetting me greatly as I'm quite fond of the game and Everton in particular

The Prince?

Of course

These modern day high visibility footballs are rubbish in the snow, I can barely see the ball.

Right decision sending Adam off, reckless challenge in difficult weather conditions with studs showing. Glad he's off before he really got the chance to hurt someone.

I feel like we will try and hold out for a draw. We've been terrible.

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

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

Surprised watching Everton has not bored you to sleep lol

 

[Kenshin]

Yes, but the fact we have a man advantage (at the moment) surely even a primary school P.E teacher could hatch a plan to get all three points here...

Sadly means nothing. If stoke stayed in the dressing room at half time I am sure Sam would tell the team to pass it back to defence.

He already has his excuse for it this week with the weather.

 

[CRIMHEAD]

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

They are committing defenders to stop Yannick, Baines is not pushing up to support him, and the conditions on that side are bad. So at least he has some excuse. That also means there is space elsewhere.

 

[Cels]

Come on Everton! Just 45 more minutes to hang on, to bag another valuable point towards our Premier League safety.

Hope they break out the orange ball for the second half.

 

[sageyefc]

Aye.

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

Keep dcl away from the pitch he's gash. Leave bolasie in Stoke, don't let him on the team bus

 

[Kenshin]

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

Yes mate. I did read a few calls over the week that it would be a terrible game to watch. All seem spot on now

 

[banno]

Yes, but the fact we have a man advantage (at the moment) surely even a primary school P.E teacher could hatch a plan to get all three points here...

Playing against 10 men will only confuse Allardyce.

 

[Niapper]

If Davies comes out for the 2nd half then we have a manager who can't recognise sh!te. Davies is becoming detrimental to this team.
What a sitter he missed, he is still having problems even controlling the ball and he finds it tough to keep the flow of a movement going...it usually ends abruptly.
Klaassen for Davies

VERY TRUE

 

[ricardobee]

We need someone who can play in the snow in midfield

Bring EskiMo Besic on

 

[Kenshin]

Playing against 10 men will only confuse Allardyce.

Half time team talk will be telling Davies to stay close to Adam probably

Been too long since our games been broadcast here so...

The local commentators are fithy that they have to watch this crap though.

Hope they break out the orange ball for the second half.

I was thinking we need an orange ball. So we can actually see how bad the passing is.
