It's funny but for all I hear about how hamstrung McClaren is with our midfield I see Hughes playing two nobodies and Affellay in a midfield three and one again wonder if a better manager couldn't get more from what we've got.

 

Cameron and Whelan are decent athletes and are very disciplined though. Ours get pushed around like little children.

Stoke are very good to watch. Well done Hughes.

 

Yet we absolutely bossed them a few weeks back, only their keeper got them a point. That said they do have a solid look at the back and a couple of high impact players up front in Shaquiri and Arnautovic.

 

Wouldn't say we bossed them like. Thought it was two poor teams. None of Butland's saves were worldies

 

Both poor yes but we were still clearly the better side.

The media always intimates northern clubs who have never really won anything are all mainly interested in hard work and tackles, says northern fans want that and nothing fancy. Then of course stoke get a player like bojan who surely in this patronizing and reductive worldview would be hated and in fact is given a standing ovation

No surprise since they have the physiques of little children as well.

Arnautovic is a miserable edgy git. He was posturing all over the pitch up here when we played them.

 

I love his arrogance. Can imagine him not being the easiest player to handle but Hughes seems to be doing a top job with him.

The most obvious thing watching other teams between us is players find space actually wanting the ball. With us you only have Janmatt making an overlap and Perez who want the ball, once a team has got their back four and midfield in front of us we have absolutely no clue how to break them down or anybody willing to try to, the players only pass the ball so they dont get the blame for fucking it up try to create something.
