nufc4eva Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Need to start being ruthless. We have had enough chances to finish this game. We are so bad at attacking, never look confident yet think Atsu and Perez have gave them a tough time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Murphy is much better than Aarons off the ball, no need to change. We've been strong down that side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Played perfectly well for an away side there. Should be in front, how Clark missed I've no idea. Stoke are shite, their biggest threat is our decision-making in risky positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakey jake Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 We've been ok, Murphy very disappointing though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The right hand side has been good but by god ritchie is pointless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 We couldn't score in a month of Sundays ffs, half competent attacking and this would be put to bed already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Going to rue those missed chances. Formation is working well going forward, they can't cope with the interchanges and movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Ritchie gets some stick, but his effort at winning the ball back and pressing the opposition is incredibly important for this team. I would never take him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 New year was giving me a crisis thinking I'll be 30 next year. Seeing the state of Charlie Adam and that he's only 32 is not helping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Too shy and embarrassed to score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Rafa is going to have to come on and put the f***ing ball in the net I think. Aye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Actually a really good 45 from us. Just add better finishing and this will be over quickly. No reason to change anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BergenMagpie Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Decent half against a really shit team. Should be leading comfortably if it hadnt been for the fact that we need about 5-6 clear cut chances to convert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Good half from Diame, really seems to be breaking up play and even looks better on the ball, Yedlin is the weak link in defence again while not being terrible, Atsu lively but wasteful as ever, Shelvey and particularly Murphy, absolutely abysmal, and Ritchie the invisible man. Actually fairly impressed with Perez, had a few good driving runs forward, but we need to make attacking changes before 70 minutes otherwise we wont score. How did Clark miss that chance man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I like Murphy, but the boy is a 23 in a month and was an expensive purchase, yet plays like an 18 year old academy debutant. Obvious talent, but no confidence, assertiveness, or intelligence. As always, you have to give a player a full season to adjust to a new team and league, but it is worrying. Yeah, he really does play like a young teenager. It's really weird. Mad that he's about to turn 23. He's so wasteful on the ball and never looks in full control of the ball. Needs to just turn and run at them as that appears to be his strength. Still done more than Ritchie on the other side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Should be ahead here, we've been much better but can't seem to do anything with crosses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Looks like it will be one of those games where we get either sucker punched with a goal by them, or get a disappointing draw due to not taking our chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I know it’s disappointing that we are not ahead, but honestly if we play like this for the rest of the season we’ll be fine, just need our luck to turn a little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Perez has led the line well, should have assist too if it wasn't for old Ciaran O'Clubfoot at the far post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickTop Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Think Perez has been ace. Some intelligent play and won a surprising amount in the air too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Perez is so much better playing upfront. It's a key thing that has to be taken from this game going forward. Especially, as he has previously shown that he will score goals in the prem in that position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 You can see why these have conceded 46. Even we have looked decent going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Should be 0-1 up. How did Clark miss that, man. Good opportunities for Atsu early on as well. Perez has been great on the ball, and we've played the better football. Stoke are here for the taking here, they're utter shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
