Guest Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 We look solid, the midfield has a good balance, we've got pace on one wing, guile on the other, our number 10 is grafting his arse off, the striker is a threat and a presence, we're creating chances. So far so good like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Have always felt with Rafa in charge we won't go down. There is quality in this squad, they simply need to be managed correctly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take an honourable 5. More than half of this league is s**** though. We'll be fine Aye. 4 of the 5 teams we've faced have been 'shit' and we've been pretty comfortable in and have deserved to win 3 of those, should've drawn the other. There's plenty more in this league just like it. Also, Stoke finished top 9 three years on the bounce until last year. They're hardly shit; they're average.

FFS, every win Stoke aren't shite. I took that line last week and stood by it: Swansea offered nowt and West Ham were terrible. But Stoke have dangerous players and didn't play badly. We snuffed em out today and deserve masses of credit for the win. Looking very promising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Every time we come up against a side I think "They have a good side, this could be tough." Then when I see the team sheet they always look poor. West Ham were missing Carroll, Arnautovic, Lanzini and fonte (bench), for example. I thought stoke were meant to be decent, then you see Fletcher and Allen in midfield and you have to think Merino and Hayden will out run them. Basically we could and should beat anyone from Everton downwards on current form and right now is there anyone who wouldnt fancy us beating Everton or Liverpool? The season isn't going to be without it's roadhumps but by in large Rafa will steer us through them. Two more wins and top half should be the aim.

The amount of times this season and last, you could say that the opposition was terrible is staggering, it's not just luck. It's clearly a firm ploy/tactic to neutralise their strengths, if you do that you only have to play average at best to beat them. Rafa is an absolute master, it's just crazy Ashley is f***ing this up for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
