*** Stoke v City - FA Cup Round 4 Official Match Thread ***

Was it the ankle or knee he twisted?? Hope it ain't too bad

From the replay the ankle..Better than a knee injury phew

relieved at understanding my poor assessment, indeed!

[steveo_88]

Dozy Bosnian twat...why the fuck wasn't he following that hard in???

6 ft tall striker who never slides in, it's pathetic.

[Dwaring]

3 at the back? Has bob not learned his lesson. Why not just bring rekik on. It's a gamble but any move we made would have been. It's a was an opportunity to get a young kid on and see how he does under pressure.

Has Doug took the Time warp machine and got out in Asian shape?.... lol

He seems to want a right footer in. or at least someone who is ambifootrous.

A did my ankle and didn't play or 3 months. Hope it's not serious.

Are we Dzeko bashing today?

[ant london]

I am yes as he looks fucking hopeless. Flat footed in the box on a number of occasions when attacking the six yard box could have brought dividends. He is pathetic.

maybe cos he would have been off side.I thought as you did before the replay

[Beefymcfc]

We're playing good football whilst Stoke are playing for set pieces. We're looking good though, just a shame about Vince, that could be a big blow.

[steveo_88]

Are we Dzeko bashing today?

No, but a striker who isn't willing to slide in is pathetic. Mario played that pass to Sergio in May on the floor and Carlos/Sergio do it so why not him? 2 yards out it doesn't matter how it goes in just that it does, ask Joleon when he scored with his arse!

[Superbia]

Dzeko is so shit

[Douglas Higginbottom]

We are so much better than Stoke it's ridiculous but the fear is there that they will fluke one as they do so often.

I've not seen that mate. I've seen him go out wide and play some good balls through, have a couple of half chances where either his feet weren't right or was too far away to slide in.

Perceptions differ though.

exactly. its in our head.

[Moonchesteri]

Are we Dzeko bashing today?

I think so. ;) I like the lad but its been a bit disappointing at times. He is so strange hot & cold player. I think he has a goal in him though.

Yap. still relieved it's not knee tho, Andy.
could have been season over, then. and You know it's always hard to guess where You end up with a bad knee injury.

Fucking Stoke land... there always something wrong waiting there...

I think some of his general play has been great but I'm absolutely fucking baffled as to why he isn't just tapping those into the net.

That last pass from Tevez was exactly wher you would want it & expect it. What the fuck was Dzeko expecting ?

Van Nistlerooy would be on a hat trick.

We are going out of the cup here unless we step it up. Their offside goal served notice of what can happen. You can't defend against stuff like that because there is no plan behind it other than lump it in & see where it bounces. We really need to score or we are at the mercy of that kind of shit.

I think his movement has created spaces for Tevez and Silva, plus he's put in some excellent passes already.

I'll have to see it again but he looked way too far away to get a touch.
