This high line for City is leading to quite a few stoke chances. Shame their attackers are shit

Imbula you idiot, just blast it!
Great stuff by stoke so far, proper aggressive play.
"the referee gives Allen the benefit of the doubt" well eh yeah he won the ball what do you expect the referee to give?
It's ghastly. Even the American swimmer did it. Forgotten his name.
City look vulnerable on the counter. I can see Stoke nicking a goal here.
It really is pathetic. Jones his new look is very classy though...
Arnautovich seems unable to receive a ball, and Imbula looks shit as usual.
Oh, and I hope City play as openly as this against us.

Yup. Playing a highline with three very mistake-prone/rash defenders and one who is past his peak is a pretty suicidal.
Lochte?
He started last season well and has the potential to always be a threat due to pace alone. His end product is too poor to ever become a great player though. Walcott/Lennon/Wright-Phillips/Navas sort of player.
Great move Stoke.
Is this Imbula supposed to be rated?
What minute will the inevitable soft penalty be?
That was a great move by Stoke. City looking vulnerable on the counter with such a high line, was always the one question mark above Pep's style over here imo.
They bought him for a fair whack of money but he looks like your typical physical midfielder who has the occasional world class match but in general just underwhelms.
City look very open at the back.
City are in trouble if Stones keeps trying those aimless runs.
Sterling tried to be clever there .
Not impressed with City at all, I'd love us to play them tomorrow.
The wind playing a part.
Not surprising with Stones and Kolarov at CB.
the inbreds are awful. matter of time.
What the hell?! That man sat in a tree watching the game in this wind. 
That guy on the tree
Stones is so bad at positioning and awareness, love it.
Probably still a better atmosphere than inside the ground tbf.What the hell?! That man sat in a tree watching the game in this wind.
Pen?
A popular transfer target when he was in the French league, but ended up at Porto and then Stoke. Not so highly rated anymore.
Fernandinho pulling the strings
FFS
What?
lol? pen for city
What a joke.
Third game in a row they get a penalty.
25th.
Is this supposed to be a joke? Surely it must be some kind of practical joke?
Fair enough. Feck off, Shawcross.
