I think the TV match director has a crush on Paul Lambert.

I said this during the game, that they made out as if Lambert is a superstar manager who is itching to takeover Stoke, to take them to the CL final.
Those shots of him in the dark, acting moody and mysterious.
I was since corrected and informed that he is absolutely abysmal and over saw the debacle that was Aston Villa.

So refreshing to be at this stage of a season and not have people constantly moaning about fecking GD!

 

[Fully Fledged]

Are you serious? We could have gone down 3-1 by half time. Ireland was unmarked twice plus a typical Crouch fiasco. I saw Mourinho rushed out and he had probably addressed the hole as we don't see Ireland having much chances particularly in the 2nd half. Still got more work to do.

DDG is part of that all round quality.

 

[wolvored]

Isn't that the same guy? white letters

Yes his middle name is andrew they shorten it to and

 

[Sassy Colin]

Was that alright for yous?

 

[MonkeysMagic]

With Bailly hopefully back in Feb the back 4 looks solid with Valencia, Shaw and Jones. If Herrera can put some decent performances in then midfield is looking good as we can’t continue to play Matic/Pogba every game. Now if...IF we can add Sanchez to the ranks then this game can go far in CL and FA cup, sadly I just don’t think shitty will lose 5 out of 15 games.

Oh don't be such a miserable sod

Crowd strangely quiet tonight, but a comfortable 3-0 win

Carrick, considering it was his first appearance of the season impressive.

 

[Foxbatt]

One of the worst post match analysis I have ever seen. For the life of me I cannot understand why they get Michael Owen in these things. Normally Hargreaves is fairly good.

 

[VeevaVee]

Nice enough performance, lovely goals. I'll av.

 

[RRCE]

Isn't that the same guy? white letters

Michael Owen and Owen Hargreaves, but listening to them you’d think they’re the same person. They’re quite a pair of clowns. Listening to Michael Owen trying to do some simple math (calculating how far behind City Arsenal currently is) was comical.

Don't worry, they're rattled.

 

[walkinhop]

Still a lot to be asked from the defence. One going for the trap while the other follows the run...Shaw's side exposed a few times 1st half. Pogba immense when freed forward. Valencia's left foot. Lingard with a poor game. Hard to say much tactically against a team who offered nothing. Poor officiating.

 

[EyeInTheSky]

I kind of hope that this team lineup gets a few more games. They can work on some of the sloppy play leaving gaps that even stoke exploited and thankfully they are a bag of shite so we got away with those. I think if they get a chance to have a long run with this lineup and formation they could iron that out and perhaps be a bit more clinical and savage teams.

 

[Jippy]

Also, I really like Stoke's away kit. Reminded me of 90s Football Italia. Something about Sampdoria in that kit.

I thought it was ghastly tbh. Some cheapo 80s kit.

 

[Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber]

we were sloppy at times. but a solid win

What?

 

[RedDevil@84]

Valencia in August: I think I ll try to learn to use my left foot.

title race back on then

they don't need to lose them all just a couple of draws here and there is just as good. Draws are deadly for points and momentum. Problem is we need to win all our remaining games realistically...

 

[Waynenmads]

Pogba bordering on obscene!
One of Lukaku’s best games for us
Martial both brilliant and useless in equal measure!!
Stoke are woeful though, certs to be relegated

 

[stepic]

title race back on then

no.

City need to drop a lot more points for that to be the case. no evidence to suggest they will do that. Liverpool was a blip.

 

[RedB4ndiT]

First we take Alexis from them.

Then we take the title.

Let's go to Dubai more often.

Stoke didn't offer nothing- they had at least three clear cut chances. They used Crouch well to displace Smalling and create space for runners like Ireland. Better finishing and that first half could've ended differently.

The second and third goals and our missed chances put a bit of a gloss on it. Decent performance, but if someone like Aguero had the Ireland chances, it would've been far more sticky.

 

[Gopher Brown]

Everyone was good. Stoke weren’t particularly awful either. That’s the sort of dominant but controlled performance we could do with more often. Never in doubt that we’d score more.

 

[Class of 63]

What?

A pre-Match tweet suggested Matic was out, and Carrick was starting.

Well done Leonard!

I suppose we mean different things. I think that their chances were due to our mistakes rather then them offering anything. Crouch fouled his way into danger and i doubt we would be set up like this against Aguero, so yeah.

I just love when people don't see white letters.

Sorry.

 

[cyril C]

DDG is part of that all round quality.

Sometimes I share my feeling with Mourinho about his preference to a boring 2-0 win than a heart-attack 4-3 win. Our quality on defending was terrible and forgot to mention the once-in-a-while Smalling slippage as well. Luckily it was in the 90th min and we had DDG. If it was 3-2 then some of you might dropped to the floor.

 

[RRCE]

I just love when people don't see white letters.

Sorry.

Ha! No worries. It’s more fun than listening to those two chumps, that’s for sure.

 

[simplyared]

We did what was needed against a side who were bordering on shambolic imo. Always good to get the 3 pts however. Not taking the joy away from the win. Just giving it a little perspective.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Jose Nice move with hand on mouth.

They are really annoying, both voices and crap they say.

Quite - they were awful, particularly in defense. Up front, they could easily have had a couple though.

pogba's passing is just ridiculous. Ill never fathom how anyone believes KDB can pass better than that...

 

[buckooo1978]

pogba's passing is just ridiculous. Ill never fathom how anyone believes KDB can pass better than that...

in fairness they are both excellent passers

Pogba certainly passes the ball more regularly over a longer range

 

[SuperiorXI]

They both take the utter piss but KDB has done it more consistently this season.

 

[manichester]

First half 2 seconds of magic the rest abysmal, second half better but some woeful decision making and finishing. Matic looks totally gassed.
