    He was never going to find Mata there, gotta go for the jugular.

    How Carrick isn't considered a regular for Jose I do not understand. Fair enough, stats can deceive but...

    We've grown into the game well. Finishing leaves a lot to be desired, but the chances are there. You'd hope if it carries on this way we find the goals to win this.

    Our players should be fined for these shots, it's embarassing how many of these shit shots we have per game from great situations.

    Awful technique shown from Miki on that chance. Leaning back as you shoot is just plain school boy.

    We miss a ridiculous number of EASY chances. Pathetic.

    Zlatan deciding not to shoot for apparently no reason & then Mkhitaryan puts the ball onto the moon. This is a horror show.

    Do we not practice shooting in training? Zlatan cannot shoot with his left foot, I have only started to notice recently, he always passes rather than shots when to the left of the goal where as if he is to the right of the goal he shoots right footed.

    It's going to be one of those matches where we score in the 80th minute to make it 1-1 and we get going but it'll be too fecking late to actually carry momentum into another goal before full time.

    This is why people should never underestimate a cold rainy night in Stoke.

    That's Mata, Ibra, Smalling and Mkhi now missing good chances. Same old story.

    Some more encouraging build up play but they seem to still think we'll score just by pure volume of crosses into the box. That's exactly where Stoke have been strong for years, and if they could choose our gameplan that's what they'd want us to do

    :lol: Wtf is up with your players? It seems they got a bet on Stoke here.
    It is like someone has put a spell on us. Every match we create enough to score 20 goals but hardly ever manage more than two.

    We are woeful in front of goal. Not just this game either. We must be among the worst in the league when it comes to converting chances, if not the worst considering how many chances we create.

    We're playing a lot better but it's still the same old story with the finishing...

    Liverpool lose, City and Spurs to play each other later. We need to win, simple. Jose will have to sort it out at half time, but it's hard to say where we improve. We've not been that bad, in my opinion.

    And now Clattenburg's just going to blow for everything for the rest of the game and allow them to slow the tempo down by milking fouls.

    Inbred twats.

    Anyone not wanting Griezmann needs their head checking. Our ineptitude at scoring goals is there to see.

    Mkhitaryan seems to be our new Nani. Flashes of brilliance here and there but overall frustrating and wasteful.
