Stoke Post Match Thread 2-2....again

Recommended Posts

Posted

Previous seasons draws coming from 2-0 deficit at HT felt much more acceptable . Failing to beat a side with a bunch of championship standard players ( with a couple of exceptions) and a clueless manager after twice leading just feels flat

Stick for Vardy lol he should have scored, but he had a good game today.

 

Vardy's goalscoring form has always been a bit streaky, but he was a key player in our side before he found his scoring boots at this level- he turns defence into attack in an instant, and disrupts sides playing out from the back. 

 

Defence was the issue today.

Really decent game, I thought. Felt we were much the better team in general play but our defending, especially on set pieces, makes Liverpool look like the Italian teams of the 70s. Really hope the Iborra injury is not serious. As soon as he went off we looked less composed and more vulnerable as a result.

Different game if Mahrez would have put Vardy in for 2:0. Frustrated with that. BUT I am enjoying Puel's Leicester. Got us playing some exciting and incisive football. 

This is Puels 2nd game....I aint gonna put a downer on any player.At present I would prefer Slimani to Nacho, but no big deal.

Mahrez should do this or that...so what!!  He and Vardy s re bloody dangerous, and for the 1st time in 8 playing months,

we have a dangerous duo, returning to that pair we Seen tear apart defences...Add then Gray, I dont see bottom 5 being

a problem.That is/was the 1st target for me. We have been turgid, now we border on the fair-excellent.

FTalk posters would do themselves a favour, and not analyse every single mistake, unless we see no learning curve.

If our defenders botch it, dont forget then that striker failure, or midfield muff.

Fuchs and Maguire, well the whole Bline , have to cut out those silly simple mistakes.

 

Plus who is responsible for corner set up, and having players on the post...That frustrates me more,

than the missed chances.

We have an International break, I hope that gives Iborra time to recover, then James to come back into the fold.

Because I would sideline Shinji, and have Ndidi/Iborra  then James in that role Chilwell had.

 

I am also pleased, to see Puel have the nous to play Gray and Mahrez, when I suggested it, a few thought,

it wouldnt work...I cant wait to see more of these 2, and hopefully until May.

We then get our midfield playing and holding a better line, a top 8-6,will be on the cards.

 

I dont know if its just me, but Nacho when he plays, seems to be just going through the motion, he hasnt

Yet shown he wants the ball, and so far is 5yrds too deep when we are attacking. His defensive tackling,

is worse than the bad Mahrez attempts. Hes shown glimpses of what might be, he needs a coach on

His case...and spend time with him, having sessions with both Vardy and Mahrez with intent.

Underrating Stoke, over rating us, over expectation means your weekends will always be miserable....:P

True story . I should never underestimate our ability to muck things up from a promising position but that's what makes watching city so addictive

Frustrating but when your defence lets you down...

 

Will take a point but if we had some discipline then we'd have won.

It's not the defense's fault Andy King came on!

I suggest you check out their equaliser - his job to clear the corner on the near post or drop back to defend it by being the man on the near post. He managed neither - harsh but true

No he didn't.

Puel confirmed Chilwell was struggling with a knee injury but insisted it was not serious.

“It is not too bad.”

 

Sounds similar to me.

Maguire is pants at times... cost us twice today, where's Huth

 

If Maguire hadn't been drawn in there's no space for Shaq's 1st, if he hadn't have lost Crouch he may have got a head on that corner

 

Very disappointing...

 

Still, that lack of midfielder was what really changed things, James, being injured & Silva unavailable is costing us!!!

Blaming Maguire for the second. Fuch was slow reacting and should've got in front of Crouch.

He just said that neither of the injuries were serious. Didn't say Chilwell would be available though, only that he would be assessed before the next game.

Complete joke blaming King for the 2nd.
