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 :anguish:

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

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.

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.
