If ever there was an example of "every battle is won before it is fought" football match then this is it.

MP seems to have got it wrong and I bet Hughes has his troops fired up and raring to get at us.

[Saul Goodman]

Why is Pellers just sat there? Surely he should be up on his feet screaming and barking orders at them. Seems odd.

Pellera can't be to blame for everything.

He can because what's changed since the second goal absolutely nowt

What's he gonna change? There's a lack of options. Get Delph the fucking new Messiah on?

[Grandad Rosler]

Demi is having an absolute shocker. He looks like an amateur. I don't like giving Bony stick and been happy to give him the benefit in the past but he's been embarrassing today

[Moonchesteri]

How is this a Bony issue, they awe walking through us. This is Stoke FFS

Hes fuckign shit.

Its an issue.

I agree. I'd go in the market in January looking to sign a striker. I'd even give him for free the other way I'm sick of watching him if I'm honest.
Call me spoiled brat if you wish but he isn't fit to wipe Dzeko's arse imo.

We have three technical players who don't do any defending, a defensive midfielder having a mare and a very shaky defence. We needed Delph on for a central midfield three and most of us said so before the match. Poor poor decision making by Pellegrini.

[Sideshow Bob]

Wow. Should have been 3. We are fucking SHIT!!!!!

[PrezIke]

just wow

[carl_feedthegoat]

OFFSIDE.....blind cunts.

[Moonchesteri]

OFFSIDE.....bent cunts.

Fixed

[LookMumImOnMCF.net]

Wow. That defence.

[blues2win]

And then we have the good side of Kolarov. Tipped onto the post.

[MilnersJaw]

for every decent player we buy, we buy two average/shit ones.Then we pay world class fees for average joes. sterling can fuck off.

[sidSmith]

Well organised teams who pressure us in possession just own us. This is fucking gash.

Balls just come over high in the air from Sterling he was two yards away from Butland. Wind is random. Does he go for the ball in the hope Butland might fuck up? Does he fight Butland for the ball coming down? Does he hope that maybe the wind catches the ball and puts it in his path?

No he just fucking stands there leaving Butland to go grab it. CLUELESS

[PaulieIrish]

navas on for sterling, and delph for fern 2

[blues2win]

And then they hit the post. 2-0 massacre.

[carl_feedthegoat]

And this with the wind behind us........the second half will be epic.

[plf blue]

outclassed,cannot put passes together,demi playing shite.in fucking shock

[Blue Since 76]

Too many performances like this. Defending as a team is a disgrace
