ericofarabia Posted 12 March, 2016 Share Posted 12 March, 2016 Why long more than Pelle ffs?? You are joking aren't you? I love Pelle, but the amount of work, tackles and good runs Long made today far outweighed Pelles overall performance. Obviously his goals won the game but Long was far more impressive all over the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A strong referee could have had them down to 9 men in the first half. wont argue with this thread though http://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/255147/virgil-van-dijk Virgil Van Dijk. Wow. What a player, won everything today. For all out short comings today you can at least admire how good he was for them.

Chez Posted 12 March, 2016 Share Posted 12 March, 2016 (edited) Very good display. The effort in the first half to close the opposition down was obvious to see. As we tired a few gaps opened up, but when the opportunity arose we hustled and hassled Stoke which made it hard for them to do anything. That the difference between us now and earlier in the season (and Bournemouth). Put under pressure Stoke showed they are still an average side turning ball over time after time. When we got the ball we were much better with it than I have seen from us in a while. The all stuck up front with Pelle, and Longs runs gave us an alternative out ball and a threat. Lots of good performances from the usual suspects, but I thought Martina had a decent game and Davis put in a tremendous shift. Great stuff chaps. Deserved win and a good performance to go with it.

SuperSAINT Posted 12 March, 2016 Share Posted 12 March, 2016 Wow, an excellent win that I didn't think we'd get as Stoke have been excellent lately and we've been poor. Very pleased for Pelle - Sounded like he got a couple of nicely taken goals which will do him the world of good. Had a feeling we'd pay for the Tadic miss in the 1st half and feared the worst when they scored early in the 2nd half, but fair play to the lads for grinding it out. By the sounds of it, we should have finished them off in the 2nd half. Onwards to Liverpool, which is going to be a monumentally difficult game.

Batman Posted 12 March, 2016 Share Posted 12 March, 2016 (edited) excellent away win 1st half was a brilliant away performance Pelle was excellent. That is what he needs to do most weeks. MOVE!!!! absolute dire from Tadic. How he never made it 3 nil with a virtual open goal. Utterly pathetic 2nd half, they came on strong, as you would expect. But after 20 mins or so, we got back into the game Think Vic will be straight back in mind.. VvD was excellent but Pelle shades MoM for me. Shout to long also, who was a nightmare in the role mane usually plays also, had to dash out on about just after JWP hit the bar, heard on the car radio that Mane was sent off......any clips?? be interesting to see if the pundits fall over themselves to state how tadic should have had a penalty...... I suspect we wont hear anything Edited 12 March, 2016 by Batman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derry Posted 12 March, 2016 Share Posted 12 March, 2016 Exciting game. Two well taken goals. Pretty good closing down all the game. VVD was the best player on the field. Shane Long was immense, shows massive courage and gives everything. Nice to see Pelle score, but for a man of his size he really is a wooser. The midfield worked hard together with the back four ensuring Forster had little to do. JWP did well when he came on. Mane red should be rescinded. Stoke were a decent side but we didn't retain the ball particularly well regularly giving it away. They looked very dangerous potentially but we worked so hard we nullified most of their threat. Apart from the two goals, Tadic made a mess of a great chance, JWP hit the bar, If Benteke drew a penalty last week for Liverpool, it was a bolted on penalty.

Batman Posted 12 March, 2016 Share Posted 12 March, 2016 RK reaction to the win - Huge win today we spoke to the players before the game, this game and next week are really important this was a big step to our ambition this season the players fought for everything we had the better chances we made it hard, dusan has to score to make it 3-0 we expected stoke reaction, i was worried we showed great character this is a difficult place and we dominated as we did I have seen the replay for the penalty and it is a 100% a penalty it is hard for the ref but between him and the linesman, they have to give it it was not a red card. we will likely appeal we have had too many red cards. Last week we deserved it. today, we didnt very impressed with Pelle. great header. His whole performance was brilliant he won battles, he scored. he has been struggling, he lacked a little bit of confidence. plays more like that, he will score more this was a huge win, to get us back on track to where we want to be not to win this means we would have struggled to get to where we want to be big game next week. we will see next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 12 March, 2016 Share Posted 12 March, 2016 I'm pleased that we are appealing the Mane red. It was a ridiculous decision, as was the failure to award the Tadic penalty. The more that the FA get to witness the incompetence of the likes of Mason, the better it will be for everybody. After Mane went off, we did well to hold on against twelve.

FloridaMarlin Posted 12 March, 2016 Share Posted 12 March, 2016 I am genuinely struggling to see what part of Mane made contact with Peeters. The initial reports are that he led with his elbow, which would have merited a red card, but Mane's arms are by his side and if any player attempts to raise his arms, it's Peeters. You have to accept that referees have a difficult job and have only a split second to make a decision, but with something like this, he has to be 100% sure and I'm afraid this borders on incompetence.

Baird of the land Posted 12 March, 2016 Share Posted 12 March, 2016 Fantastic result. Looking forward to a huge game against Liverpool now. Great to see Pelle getting rewards, thought last couple of games he'd looked livelier than previously. Seen the Mane sending off and that is nuts, really hope that is overturned. Brave decision by koemnan at the back paid off. Yoshida was restricted to a late cameo. Got to wonder about his long term future at the club though.

corky morris Posted 12 March, 2016 Share Posted 12 March, 2016 Lots of strong performances today. VVD outstanding. Special mention for Martina who did very well against the cheat Arno! Pleased for Pelle. His all round play was a lot better. Oriel played well too. Sorry, Tadic was poor again. He was involved in Pelles second goal so that's 2. Assists in 2, but he is a long way from his best. Very pleased! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
