Plastic Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 Martina must have won a competition on a cereal box to be a footballer
Bananaman Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 how many croses have been put into the stoke box?
Dalek2003 Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 I will be happy if we get a point. It's always difficult to play at Stoke and it edges us to the 40 point mark.
mattiiiboiii7 Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 Don't think that's right but if it was, there's a man who has responsibility for sorting it. So just so I understand, we can't blame the players if they don't score against 10 men for over an hour? But we blame Puel. I take it with that logic, if we win, it's no credit to the players? We only credit Puel then? I'm just trying to work out when players should be held accountable in your opinion? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
DuncanRG Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 Would lumping balls into Van Dijk up front be less effective than what we're doing now?
BotleySaint Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 Martina put some good balls in but looked shaky.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 14 December, 2016 Author Posted 14 December, 2016 They are all here out in force now... only minutes to go to... what a surprise
Edmonton Saint Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 Why do we keep looking to cross? we haven't won a header in their box all night
Micky Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 We will score on page 7. I'm on page 30 already, so we should be at least for up by now.. Sent from my Hudl 2 using Tapatalk

CB Fry Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 Just building up a bit of injury time to score that winning goal.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 14 December, 2016 Author Posted 14 December, 2016 Cedric is a soft ****. He is not there you muppet
OttawaSaint Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 We cannot run a premiership team on luck.. Not least for the fact it doesn't exist.
Dusic Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 He is not there you muppet [emoji38] Exactly.
broken spoke Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 no one is stepping up to get on the end of the crosses, unlike when Lambert was here, even just to create a 2nd ball.

Mr X Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 just gutless upfront maybe Austin getting injured is a blessing in disguise just maybe they will finally get the message of whats needed up front
northam soul Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 Just building up a bit of injury time to score that winning goal. A bit, a few weeks
Sheaf Saint Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 He is not there you muppet Has it occurred to you that perhaps he was referring to Cedric's apparent ability to get injured on a regular basis?
trousers Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 (edited) I assume people realise that Stoke have the same number of defensive midfielders and defenders that they started the game with? Just because a team is one attacking player short it doesn't magically make their defence any more penetratable. Edited 14 December, 2016 by trousers

Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk That would be a logical error. The players deserve praise and criticism as usual, but our biggest problems have been collective, not individual. These are talented players who have been successful in the past but have a collective scoring record comparable to the poorest teams in the league. You'll notice that we've been rotating the squad a lot recently, but the problem persists no matter who plays. Unless you believe a dozen or more players have lost their cutting edge simultaneously, you have to look elsewhere. Its called an agenda.. Nope, I've defended Puel plenty in the past and still like him. Edited 14 December, 2016 by DuncanRG
Edmonton Saint Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 We haven't exactly laid siege to the Stoke goal. It's all very well getting a new striker, but the system and our offensive play(ers) seem to struggle to create chances.
BotleySaint Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 Once again showing what happens when you sell your top goal scorers and don't replace with sufficient quality.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 14 December, 2016 Author Posted 14 December, 2016 Has it occurred to you that perhaps he was referring to Cedric's apparent ability to get injured on a regular basis? So if you get injured you are weak... oh right:rolleyes:
hypochondriac Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 Prediction still holding out... Oh dear oh dear.
doddisalegend Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 no one is stepping up to get on the end of the crosses, unlike when Lambert was here, even just to create a 2nd ball. We have a team of midgets these days which is why constant crap crosses in to the box makes no sense I wish we'd try and pass it through teams around the box more.
5string Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 Yeah, all very nice on the halfway line, but GET IT UP THERE YA FANNIES!
Plastic Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 Always looking to go wide on the edge of their box. It's infuriating.

broken spoke Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 no chances are being created, but soft crossed to their goal keeper...
Dalek2003 Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 Once again showing what happens when you sell your top goal scorers and don't replace with sufficient quality. Mane and Pelle were not replaced with similar quality. This is the result. If we don't sort it out in January it will be proof of a total lack of ambition.
alpine_saint Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 71% posession, 4 shots on target. F**king incredible

True, but we did penetrate their defence when Rodriguez missed another absolute sitter. We really, really miss Pelle.

Jonnyboy Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 Was just thinking the same thing, yes he is a negative prat but the personal insults about weight etc.. are totally uneccessary IMHO ! Are you also referring to his hideous features, hairless dome and mental retardations?
stevematthews635 Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 We are a seriously s****e side with zero attackers. Pathetic and it was obvious in the summer we needed a striker Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
Greenridge Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 Stop making sense, its Puels fault FFS So where does the problem lie? It's either with the board or with Puel. It's not the players fault if they're not good enough but if the squad is not up to it then it's down to Les and if they're not playing to their potential it's Claude. What is it because it's one of them?
Donatello Posted 14 December, 2016 Posted 14 December, 2016 If we're insisting on crossing like maniacs against a tall defence, why take Long off? JRod and Long should both be on. Too much caution.
