everything about stoke is anti football, the long throws, the long grass.all designed to bring teams down to their level.

total shit ref there was numerous incidents that went un punished and wrongly so. adam was shit, henderson was shit, stoke defended well. Kuyt was below par. Carra's penalty was a piss poor decision. the whole fucking thing was a fucking total shocker!

Ref wasn't shit at all. None of the handballs were handballs

ball to hand one and all

plus Carra did foul walters
[/quote]

Walters was cute for the penalty, almost assaulted Carra and then went down like a kiddy in Jackos bedroom.

The ref was fine IMO.
 
We have been away to two of the toughest places we will go all season, and we won one and were very unlucky not to get something from the other. Shite away my arse.

Good performance, unlucky redmen.
Keep doing that and it will come good.

I agree. Most teams won't be so hard to break down.
 
No luck today. Wasn't the worst performance but we need to buck up.

Goals win games and we didn't get the rub of the green today. Adam is still inconsistent Suarez and Henderson both missed sitters.

Ah well, Spurs away is gonna be some test. Hope the team that ended the game starts next week and Gerrard gets in.

Hendo should have scored and suarez 2--1 we let 3 points slip away .
[/quote]

Hendo should have, but then again, carra shouldn't be on the wrong side of the defender, so he's to blame too
 
We got about as unlucky as you can against Stoke.... they are in good form, bouyed by good signings and we concede a iffy(ish) penalty early doors so they can just sit back all game.

Adam did not cut it for me today .... mistake selling Meirelles?

Anyone noticed the new and the old sidelines on the pitch?

They've narrowed the pitch even further to promote the kicking and hassling. Not much about football this ground.

Glad this fixture is out the way now without any apparent injuries. We were mostly unlukcy not to get anything point-wise.

Football lost. Stoke won.
 
I thought Adam was actually pretty good, played some brilliant passes, yes he messed some up too, but considering he's played 4 games with his team-mates, the understanding will only improve. When attempting to play those incisive passes, there'll always be a couple wtf moments, he perhaps needs to tone down the "hollywood" a bit though. Oh and his corners were ace.
 
A few people have said we were unlucky. Why? We had at least 2 clear cut chances but made a right balls up of them. It was shit finishing, not luck.

Hopefully we learn and come away from this stronger

i actually don't mind Stoke, but they shouldn't be able to get away with the grass thing. i can't believe there isn't some regulation governing that: every surface in the PL should be a standard, it's not like it's difficult to enforce.

city and united have missed about ten sitters a game, and they still score loads. we can't rely on taking every chance we get.
 
We looked much better when Bellamy and Carroll came in.

Still cant believe we didnt score in this game. Un fucking belivable.
Suarez and Henderson will have nightmares about those chances


And Spurs away next week. Faaaack
 
We need to start carroll. he's a fucking cunt to mark and the opoosition might double up on carroll leaving him to do something

What we're doing at the minute didn't create fucktons so i want to do a little adjustment
 
As someone mentioned in another thread I think, it was annoying at the end when Carroll was just hanging around behind Downing on the right. Get in the box son.

He had just won the ball with a sliding tackle at the touchline though
 
Stoke defended very well. We had many chances. We actually played very well and dominated the match. Good to watch and hopefully become effective for the rest of the season. Come on you reds. Ywna.
 
[quote author=SaintGeorge67 link=topic=46817.msg1397171#msg1397171 date=1315671501]
Then we need to create more chances, which again, is nothing to do with luck.
[/quote]

actually, our best chance today was pretty much purely due to luck.

Didn't see the game but from listening to accounts and the match stats it seems we just didn't have the rub of the green today. I'm not getting hysterical about the result but we do need to improve in front of goal somewhat
 
I hear a little bit of Kenny's post-match press conference and he's really not happy with Battenburg.


I reckon he wanted Black Forest Gateau..........
