    We controlled the game whist having no real gameplan to me. I thought we were the better side and you would expect that given our players, the fact we were home, the points difference between the sides and the comparative form. But I was expecting far more. The urgency and intensity we played with after going 0-1 down I was expecting from the start, a real "let's go out there and confirm our PL status" type approach, not a nervous, hesitant mentality.

    Totally agree about the lack of urgency and intensity. At times some of our players looked like they were playing a training game. Unacceptable in such an important game. Yet again we have failed to capitalize on momentum and move up the table.

    Part of the problem was the ref was letting the consistent fouling go and the flow of the game suffered 36 fouls in the match last night I think.

    Saw a stat on the Sky report saying that was Cresswell’s 7th assist this season, the most in the league for defenders.

    Lawro gave us a 2-0 win

    The bookies are giving almost the same odds for a 1-1 draw or us winning 1-0

    1-1 draw it is then......

    And tomorrow's lottery numbers are.......

    Hammerex - If we can get a point at Stamford Bridge we can easily get a point at the Emirates and if WBA can win Old Trafford anyone can
    Thought we played Man Utd at home ?

    "The match produced 36 fouls, the joint-highest in a Premier League game this season".

    How many of those fouls were Stoke players falling over forwards as soon as they felt the absolute slightest contact. They mugged Oliver the whole game. ;angry

    That Badou NDiaye fella was really quite good. I was very impressed. I think we were linked with him previously.

    Adam,

    We were in the summer. I don't know how serious we were but I do know he said he preferred Stoke, poor lad! ;biggrin

    Having seen the highlights, I would say the first disallowed goal is so marginally offside, how can the lino see that?
    If that goes in we win by 3 or 4 because Stoke have to open up.

    The 3rd disallowed goal should have been a pen as Carroll doesn't need his arm unless he is off balance because he is being pulled back.

    Fouls: I counted 16 from Stoke & 9 from us. The offsides, which were too many, I didn't count. But no really nasty tackles, and a fair game considering the pressure. Strange how people over the years have (rightly) condemned Stoke for their fouling, yet our games against them have mostly been ok. IMO.
