It's very nice we've stuck with the same team after they've done so well but we can shelve that now. Get the superior players off the bench as soon as possible and we might take something from this game.

Because Stoke attacker have been really bad too.

 

We've got to strengthen midfield, good job we've got 2 betterplayers on the bench

 

Agree - think bring on drinky on for hammond, then cambiasso and vardy in last 20 mins

Posted

I would put Cambiasso on for King, Vardy on for Nugent and Drinky on for Hammond.

 

Pace and a decent ball could win this game.

Nigel needs to pick his best players. Do you think Mourinho would keep Mikel in the team if Fabragas was fit, even if they'd won the game with him in? No! We need players in midfield who can control the game and keep possession - and we have them on the bench!

poor half but we cant have it all like we did last season 

 

but tbh i thought nigel might put out a team that was going to cause prob on the counter with decent passing from midfield

de laet has not looked comfortable all season 

 

there is a reason jeff was converted to a left back lol 

 

nugent is either off the pace or out of his depth 

 

 

pearson has spoken a lot about game management and how to control the game without the ball 

 

i think the players have taken it to heart and decided not to have a kick  lol

Whilst we've been poor I don't get all this "lucky to be level", or "how have Stoke not scored" stuff.

 

Yes they have controlled the game, but all their shots are coming from distance at the moment and other than a header from a corner none of them have been what I'd a half chance let alone a good one.

Positives:

 

It's 0-0 against a decent team.

The half went quickly.

It's half time and Nigel can try and change things.

Other than the Crouch header all their chances are long shots.

 

Yeh I was thinking that. Considering how bad we've been they've really not made the most of it.

 

The big positive is if we make the right changes we're more than capable of getting a result here. We just need to decide to turn up and play football at some point in the next 45 minutes.

We'll nick this 1-0. It's that sort of game.

I'm thinking that. Fuming Stoke fans aplenty!

In all honesty though, 0-0 half time, Pearson will fire up everyone appropriately and make the right changes about 60-70 minutes to give us the edge. Considering how underwhelming we've been we've got something to play for. Hamer is impressing me though, not doing badly at all.

At half time?

Posted

it will be mindblowing if vardy doesn't come on for Nugent. he's been piss poor since the start of the season. But too many people have Nugent tinted specs on 

 

I still say Nuge is a good player, but god he has been awful so far today.

This but maybe for the last 25

Got into a great crossing position and seemed to kick the ball out with his standing leg. Bit of a blur on the stream, but obviously utter crap.

 

What stream you got Babs? I know you can't link me to it but even if you could tell me the domain (i.e. Wiziwig). Mine was alright but its cut out a couple of times.

All aboard the optimism bus!

They've had 2 or 3 headers in the box, could've easily scored.

 

Personally if  we're making changes I'd swap Mahrez for Cambiasso, stiffen up the midfield.

So happy that it's still 0-0.  If we were playing a better finishing team it could be over by now.  Stoke have a decent defence, the few efforts that we had were well dealt with.  Ulloa and Nugent haven't had a look in, change in midfield personnel or shape could help.

Posted

We'll start he same team I reckon, he rarely changes players at half time.

 

He'll give it ten minutes for people to save their starting spots and then make the changes.

Posted

One of two things. We're either playing completely shit, or it's a massive case of lulling stoke into a false sense of security where the second half we bring on vardy and have cambiaso chipping balls over to him.
