Stokes's first touch and ability to find their own players with passes and flicks has been a class above us so far. They look far more composed while we're just counter attacking at 100 miles an hour. Created a bit more in the last 5 minutes but there's no control in our play.

We have to go back to front quickly as we've got nobody willing to take the ball in a tight position with their back to goal like O'Hare does for us. It's horses for courses really.

Should have scored

 

[fernandopartridge]

Think we miss his ability to receive the ball to feet with back to goal and then retain possession. Allen and Shipley are just playing first time flicks without much accuracy.

Ha, just posted the same point at the same time

 

[Tommo1993]

Gyokeres is perhaps the strangest City striker I’ve ever seen

 

[Sick Boy]

Ffs.

 

[mark82]

Holy fuck, how did he not score.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I could have score that. Why hasn't he just hit the bottom corner

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Had to score there

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Should’ve fucking scored that

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Gyokeres looks like he’ll never score again

 

[Nick]

How many chances do we want? He took it back towards the defender

 

[Tea & Busquets]

fuckin’ hell gyok. that’s not gonna happen very often.

 

[Esoterica]

Confident striker hits that first time. Absolutely no need for a touch there.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Gyok struggling now after a good start, not getting the simple things right

 

[Liquid Gold]

Gyo's city career has gone

- Worse than Biamou
- Better than Dublin
- Worse than Biamou

 

[Nick]

Confident striker hits that first time. Absolutely no need for a touch there.

Place it bottom left. Easy

 

[cc84cov]

VIK !!! Why the hell did he turn back in ????

 

[larry_david]

Tavares would have scored...

 

[Tea & Busquets]

what the fuck are you doing there gyok

 

[cc84cov]

That falls to Walker it’s 1-0


Just saying

 

[Nick]

Good ball in from eccles

 

[ccfc92]

Gonna be same shit as Saturday isn't it

 

[Tea & Busquets]

at least a good thing out of this game is eccles. playing really well imo.

 

[cc84cov]

Viktor O’Hare

 

[Nick]

Hamer keeps drifting to where sheaf is and leaving a huge gap

 

[cc84cov]

QPR written all over this

 

[FulltimeWum]

QPR written all over this

You spelt Stoke City wrong.

 

[Esoterica]

Place it bottom left. Easy

Official Twitter feed was showing him doing exactly what he needed to do in the warm up.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Tavares would have scored...

Tavares?!? Even O’hare would’ve scored that one!

 

[Tea & Busquets]

fuckin hell 8 men on 3 and we’re still struggling!

 

[Tommo1993]

Couldn’t pass wind at the moment. But enough about me, this is shit.

 

[Offhegoes]

You can see how much we miss O’Hare, for our link up play. Shipley quiet

 

[larry_david]

Sounds like we're shite. But sounds like Stoke ain't much better. Let's outshit them and get the hell outa here

 

[wingy]

fuckin hell 8 men on 3 and we’re still struggling!

Lot of energy both physical and emotional spent on Saturday.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

This is shite.
