Van Persie invisible as usual. We've had the possession, but with such a woefully out of form striker up front we're not going to score.

Tight game. Could easily lose this because Stoke look dangerous on the break.
Missing Rooney and Di Maria. Not enough penetration in attacking third.Strikers haven't been involved at all. Should be ahead but I can see Stoke doing 45 mins of the same again. 10 behind then ball then counterfecking hell, can't do anything the easy way can we.A bit concern about Fallaini neck. He's constantly touching his left neck
Falcao on at HT please.
Considering last season I think it's just a matter of him not understanding football ... at all.Put Falcao instead of Wilson ASAP. And probably Januzaj instead of Mata/Herrera.
Why? They haven't really threatened muchA load of passing and bog all creativity.The rate at which some of you turn on the players
No kidding.I think we've controlled the game. They've literally had 1 chance and put it away. We just need to speed our passing up and more chances will come. Falcao will be coming on without a doubt.
Hopefully we won't miss Rooney's intensity and drive. Someone needs to step up and fill that gap in the side.Dominated them in the first half, unlucky to be drawing. We'll still win.
He actually did his job. The fact no one bothered to pick up N'Zonzi (presumably Fellaini would have been on him if he hadn't have been injured) was why we conceded.I am still relaxed, Mata and Herrera have been average and so has RVP and Wilson.
LVG will make changes, Falcao to come on and scoreWilson is not ready, RVP's powers are definitely dwindling, Mata is on the pitch? Herrera has been sloppy.
Smallings passing has been excellent and Fellaini had been good until the antics.Lethargic performance. Need to speed things up otherwise this game will finish 1-1Falcao please. Wilson and RVP together don't look up to snuffMeh Wilson is useless up front. Put Falcao in
Like watching us against Palace. Possession without really doing anything of note.
Our game plan seems to be pass to Young, hope he gets the beating of the fullback, then hope he gets a cross in and onto Fellaini's head.
Why Wilson over RVP? or Mata over Herrera?He suddenly turned his head and only then did he grab his neck. He probably twisted it.Pedestrian football and we got what we deserved.
We're having all this possession but absolutely no penetration.
That said, Hererra and Fellaini have both missed sitters.
Fellaini tried to be cute by staying down in the build up to their goal when there was nothing wrong with him.hate stoke so much.....ugh.....hope we come back and win this thing
It isn't over yet ffs. It will be terrible if it stays like this though.
The kid got his 45 min. RVP can cause no-brainers like on Saturday.
Not over yet. But some got carried away with the win against Hull.
Scoring two in second half will do for me! RvP will score trust meWhy didn't Falcao start?Get them going again Louis.Awful first half. I don't even want to know our passing accuracy.
I don't think he can be expected to clear that with Bojan running at him at speed and other players in the way. He actually did decent to stop Bojan without fouling, but was unlucky that it fell perfectly for the strike.This feels like the WBA game all over again.
His right neck is OK though.A bit concern about Fallaini neck. He's constantly touching his left neck
you can see that Herrera and Fellaini are still a bit tired of the Hull's game.
Seconded. I don't buy that stuff about good man management like the guys from FullTimeDevils are saying to explain why RVP is still playing.Robin gone missing again?Lack of Di Maria and Rooney very glaring.One shot on goal and they score......................... again.
Chances will come guys.- Status
