Stoke (A): The Match

[Fosterbloke]

Benteke was beastly there, we've missed that!

[danperkins]

He was having a good game until then - came racing out from the middle then stopped leaving a huge hole behind him. Had to do one thing or the other, but in the end just took himself out of the game. Terrible.

[Daffy Duck]

Sorry but this is ****in ****. First game, new signings and everything, but the same goes for Stoke and they are outplaying us again.

[McDermotX]

Yellow all day long for Milner

[Exiled_red]

Milner booked for a challenge on Adam

Can't believe Adam doesn't get booked for the reaction

[Muddled]

Why do posters expect us to be playing silky, smooth, pretty football on day one.

Some perspective, please.

I was typing just before that particular rush of blood
We don't look at all good at the back. That particular horror show will continue this year I think.

[dizzycat]

I can't believe how little we're offering in the middle

[McDermotX]

Need more from everyone really, but Henderson (and Milner to be fair) is pretty subdued, especially since Stoke have grown into the game.

[danperkins]

What the **** is Lovren doing out there! Stay in position man ffs

[Fosterbloke]

Can't believe Adam doesn't get booked for the reaction

Milner was sitting on the leg he just smashed into.

I don't expect silky, smooth football on game one. But it's game one for Stoke too and we should be playing better than them.

[McDermotX]

Get the **** up !

[baronvonskidmark]

We look pretty toothless up front. Bit of a boring game actually.
