Oh dear. Not a great start. LvG will be getting convinced by the day that he does need defenders.

Fecking shambles.
Not wanting to sound too harsh on that, but thanks a lot Fergie for resting your hopes on cretins and eunuchs like Evans and Jones as the so-called future.
Not a repeat of the Rafael and Drogba foul-up surely?Stoke are shite, stop ya worrying lads, we got this.At least we have to attack now. No sitting back for the sake of it.Jones is useless, him and Evans two of the worst centre backs in the leagueSmalling should be marking crouch from goal kicks.Falcao has started poor.Only highlights the need for us to spend some money on a decent defender or twohow can we have 3 center backs out there and not one marking Crouch?To be fair to our defenders, no one could have predicted that Shawcross would use his feet to kick the ball.Bad start.
Not surprised thoughJesus. This is easy......................for Stoke.3 bad touches by Falcao already... Should we really be overworking him?Late night for Jonesy.
Won at City, beat Arsenal here, won last 2 without conceding. Shite indeed.Oh boy all i want for new year is two world class defendersfecking stoke fansDraw a good result now?
You shouldn't we were actually winning in that game.I'm getting flashbacks from Leicester.
They are booing us passing the ball.
Do stoke fans know anything about football?How are we 3rd?
Well the league table doesn't lie mate. Yep, they are shit.
Not really the game for Januzaj or Wilson though. Unless Herrera could've come in with Rooney up top, not sure on his fitness though.Much better, patient build up play from us.Shout for handball there.anyone got a sopcast strem?Just turned on the TV. 19 seconds really?
Was it bad defending again?If the line is that high after 6 minutes, Stoke are going to destroy us on the counter.I fecking hate early kick offswho was the genius saying physicality is overrated in the premier league!
NO !!!!Agh Wiziwig is gone and the game is going terribly. A bad year already.
Stoke's pressing game is very similar. Our defence are struggling with their front men, and the crowd are well up for this.Was Jones on the pop last night?Can't understand why Adnan isn't startingOur defence needs to get a grip of Crouch.Falcao looks like he's never played football in his life.
Don't think the team are keen either. Why have two of our games over Christmas been so early?Falcao with a touch of a rapist so far- Status
