Unlucky first half for Cabaye, off the ball his pressure has been fine but his passes have been a little weak and theirs been a few that have taken a deflection and as a result placed it into Stoke's possession. I'd like to see more of Jonas getting forward, Stoke seem to be having two men marking Ba and Obertan now so I'm sure if we played it onto the the left wing more it would stitch them.

 

Over all we have done well though theirs been a few times we have needlessly given away some throw in's. Talking of throw in's, the referee needs to stop Stoke from being able to take a throw in a good 10-15 yards further then they were conceded. At the end of the first half we conceded a throw in  their half yet Stoke took it 5 yards in our half.

Excellent so far, but there's still 45mins to go and Stoke can't be much worse second half. If it's 2-0 going into the final third of the game and they bundle one in from a set piece we could come under a lot of late pressure, like Wolves.

 

Hopefully we'll get another to demoralise them. And we have some brilliant options on the bench.

Still only HT like. We've been canny and defended well but we need to see it out or we'll be hanging on like we were at Wolves.

 

Ba's been immense, the back 4 are so organised it's like watching a different team at times! Let's see it out. :)

Let's go for a third. We always look balls when we try to defend a lead. Having said that, nothing this season makes sense. We'll probably style it out likes pros.

We need to play the same 2nd half as if stands 0:0...love the feeling that we are hard to beat even hard to concede...

credit to Pards as well for making good decisions...

 

so happy for Ba to hit two times those b***ards...hope he gets a hattrick :)
