Hindsight now, but maybe give Sol the nod next time we're up against this type of attack.

 

Two goals and two off the woodwork in 45 minutes. That's just too easy.

Tiote did lose the ball in awkward positions a couple of times today, mistakes Smith would have been crucified for. I'm starting to see some of the pluses and minuses in his game. (Still an infinitely superior player to Smith though, goes without saying.)

It was a shit loss but at times we played really well and at the end we really didn't deserve the loss. An OG is a shit way to lose but people on here are knee jerking to the best of their ability and neglect the fact we're playing better and better and eventually this will (hopefully) start paying off.

 

Fair play to Stoke, as it's literally our own fault we didn't come away with a point. Delap coming on is what really won them the game IMO as we just couldn't cope in the air.

Further up the field, we were poor all match and created very little for all the possession. The penalty was a gift. Second half we couldn't even keep the ball.

 

I think Sorenson is a bit of a dodgy keeper, but he was largely untested.

How we didn't create any chances in open play in the first half is fucking ridiculous.

 

 

 

Lack of a good final ball, only the Enrique cross is where it was decent.

Stoke were pretty well organised tbh. Two solid banks of 4 and the only time we got in behind was when Jose smashed it across the face.

 

Crossing from deep rarely works.

Quite simply, Stoke sponged us, and I would have thought that Hughton would have seen that. I have faith that it'll be rectified for the next time, though.

Whats slightly concerning is the lack of obvious chances we are creating. Other than the pen, only Nolans chance at the end was an exampole of us opening them up.

We were playing Stoke, though. The PL champions of playing ten men behind the ball.

Houghton was tactically outwitted today
