Poor 1st half.
We wont win the game playing like that.
Rooney ad Di Maria are a big miss but we should beat Stoke anyway.
Falcao on early!anyone with a decent stream they could pm?
mine is a bit choppy anytime it gets near the boxMissing Rooney makes the team visibly weaker.
Not an excuse though. Players need to turn it up about 5 notches.Is this how we have been playing for majority of the season? Haven't had the chance to watch any matches except today, but this is really dull.Herrera should've scored and apart from that him and Mata have had no impact on the game what so ever. Young has created more!
Fellaini has been good, it would be very harsh to blame him for the goal, there were 6 defenders behind the ball at the time Fellaini pulled up holding his neck. Having said that isn't the neck or above a head injury that the referee needs to attend to urgently?
Falcao to come on and Januzaj, 3-1 my prediction.
#FelieveThey combined well for the goal but I thought Herrera and Fellaini, along with Mata and RvP all had a poor half overall. Rojo and Young have been our best 2 players for me and Smalling has looked strong. We lack any real pace up top to threaten, so most of the possession is Stoke just sitting off while we play it around in front of them with a slow tempo keep-ball style.We're clearly missing Rooney up front. I'd get Falcao on as soon as possible.
Been really good! Definitely gaining in confidence isn't he?Fellaini looked up when the ball came over his head. Immediately he grabbed his neck, which suggests he may have tweaked or strained something there.
All those saying he was play acting are a bit stupid tbh.Bit of a comedown from the Hull game, but we still look the better side and have had more chances. Not too worried yet, I'd like to see Falcao come on as well as he can definitely help us out if we need a goal
We are honestly creating almost nothing. We need to start being better with the ball, just passing it around hoping for Stoke mistakes it seems.Felt like swansea match already.Falcao and Januzaj for RVP and Mata. At least them two can run.Falcao for Wilson. Adnan for Mata to stretch play a little wider, maybe make a little room for Ander to operate.Are people here serious?The strikers have had no service so far.Falcao or whoever else wouldn't help on that.Pace too low. Unprecise passing.
Hell no! RVP off for Falcao, yes.I think we are playing well. They're keeping the ball nicely and the chances will come. We're gonna win.The team needs a rocket up the arse. Absolutely abysmal.
Games like today are a must win if we are going to finish in the top four.I'd bring on Falcao for Wilson. Neither of the strikers have played well, but Wilson looks very loose on the ball. RVP is better at holding it, even if he is offering little penetration.
And to think they've still got Crouch to come on, who'll do his usual pushing the defender down by the shoulders as he climbs up them like a ladder to win a header, over and over, and probably get away with it. I hate that gangly cnut.
Shit. That's why Giggs should've had the team talk. When is LVG going to learn??Mata and RVP really add very very little. Missing Rooney for sure, get Falcao on for RVP as i dont trust this defense not to concede again second half especially with both our full backs having to play out of position.I don't think we've played that badly so far but there's certainly a lot of room for improvement in the 2nd half. I want Falcao to get at least half an hour, preferably I'd have him on now.The whole midfield is missing...... and RVP is as good as a spectator. Missing rooney & ADM, no one on the counter.. stoke is playing better and looks more threatening... a draw is also looking its gonna be hard work.I feel we can do better than this, Herrera and Mata should raise their game.Can someone PM a HD stream? please!
Yeah, but he doesn't get much playing time anyway, whilst RVP has played too many games, we wouldn't want to see another key player injured.I struggle to see how this side will improve. Stoke are very compact to break down and this side just doesn't look like they can deal with it. Needs more width.
Stoke have a good game plan.Can someone pm a stream please?
Bit slow and complacent but other than the goal from Stoke, absolutely no threat from them, hope we step up pace in 2nd half and we see Falcao
Absolutely not
But RvP can score from nowhere like did on Saturday. Wilson, apart from running around a lot, hasn't really done anything so far and we need to win this game.
Completely agree. The number of times we had the ball moving forward and all the forwards were static was quite surprising, and is definitely the reason we're struggling to create chances.I feel sorry for Young. He has to take on the whole left side himself as Mata nor Ander seem to be playing on the left of midfield, both are in the middle somewhere- Status
