He doesn't do anything badly wrong at the moment but the lack of an attacking threat down whichever side he's on is clear as the day to see. Desperately need more attacking impetus to stretch the field a lot more with someone like HBA.

And yet he was succeeding when he first arrived. Alright teams have realised that if they hassle him he's often hurried into mistakes on the ball but I think it's more of a case of just sloppy play and decision making. He needs to go back and watch videos of what he was doing when he first arrived.

Again Yeah unfortunately its just asking for a red card at the moment and they'll know that too.

You'll just get more annoyed when you see it, utterly ridiculous challenge. That was my reaction anyway

Hahaha quality

Played really well I thought but god knows what he was doing for that challenge. Really thought it was ping to be one of those days when that pen went in

Ridiculous wasn't it

That's a good point Ian and I had a similar thought leaving the ground We weren't at our best today but Stoke are past masters at making life difficult for teams by any means necessary, literally. It'll keep them in the league but magine coaching that ffs

Just got back from the match. Pretty awful match all things considered, Christ Cisse was awful bar the goal but then he's there to d that I suppose He'll get,goals with the right service but Christ some of his link of play and today he pretty had 2 left feet. Thought he was lucky to stay on the pitch to be honest from where I was sitting but will have to see highlights again. We desperately need HBA back to give us more attacking balance and its so noticeable when Sissoko picks the ball up and runs. He's often on is own. Absolute steam train of a player though What an absolute shower Stoke are, and people pay to watch that week in week out, fuck me. Truly the anti football Christ. S glad we put this shower away even if it wasn't pretty.

Glad he got the winning goal. Looked like he was lucky to stay on the pitch from where I was sitting, but will have to see the highlights.

I definitely wouldn't have moaned if he hadn't played on thursday. Let's just hope it's a small knock though.

Yes don't understand them either. Yeah exactly I thought his press conference said there were no new injuries apart from the slight doubt over Cisse. As said we'll know shortly anyway

If that is the case it makes a mockery of flying him out to play on a dodgy surface given they'd kept some players out knowing the potential adverse reactions on a surface like that. Stupid

Have a good day lads, sounds like it'll be a laugh

Yeah Sissoko will cause them all sorts of problems. Must be difficult to keep an eye on him knowing Cabaye can thread one through or bang one in from the edge of the box too. Moved over from Gallowgate to Gallowgate/Milburn corner for this one. I'm studying all morning for Uni so I'll be primed to release some tension/stress by the time I arrive

The Norwich game is massive for them next weekend. Lose that and they really might get sucked into it. I don't think they'll go down though, they've still got enough in the side as drab as they are.

Yep go out and do the job and put these cloggers away.

Tomorrow is big to be fair, really need to bag the 3 points.

Think QPR will stay up, Samba in the groove now, Remy scoring goals, they have real momentum. First time I've watched the Mackems for a while (obviously) and fuck they're a dour side. Midfield is utter shite

Hoilett is wank man

WHat a goal

So much for the Everton wankathon at the beginning of the season

HBA involved in any form on sunday is a bonus. He'll probably get half an hour and might be needed to open things up if god forbid it's a tight, frustrating game. I'd bank on Cabaye, Sissoko and Gouffran causing them enough problems though.

Strange one tomorrow is that in the event that the Mackems win tomorrow the silver lining of sorts will be that Qpr will be really mired in the shit. Draw would be best

Yeah just read that myself, what a cunt if that's true
