STOKE CITY THREAD

[Vinny1967]

Some just expect too much from the Ox because he had one or two very nice games but to be honest he's just not one of those who are ready at 18 oder 19. Has talent but shouldn't be a starter this season. Not his fault though.

Wow, some fucking sense on this forum.

well, we can thank the England set up for putting him in after a couple of games,same as walcott. who after a few call ups wanted $75k a week as an "england regular".

Yeah they certainly built him up at the Euros.

if this was training, we'd be 4-0 up now.

is our fantastic team showing great spirit and quality

Who expects too much from Ox? Just that he could and should be doing better. Can't be that difficult to understand. He shouldn't be a world-beater...or producing non-stop man of the match performances - but who said he should be? Just doing better.

Some nonsense on this forum

Some do

I think he is having a good game and even the best strikers in the world don't take all their chances.

Leave him alone

Ok mate, just for you.

Good man.........He can feel the karma

Listening to radio today - we're not on for once but the commentators have broken for news from the bowl a grand total of zero times.

Has anything of note happened?

Giroud should've scored.. Stoke won't be able to hold ot for another 35 minutes.

Stoke just sitting back. Ox and Giroud had decent chances and their keeper is playing well.

[StuartL]

We're passing the ball way too slowly and lack any real invention or incisiveness; it's basically allowing Stoke to sit back with 10 men behind the ball and strangle the life out of us.

Are we lacking petrol? is the handbrake on? - tell me Arsene, which bullshit metaphor describes us this time?

That's not like us is it ??

Oh, sorry, wait yes it is since circia 2009, we like to let the opposition get 10 men behind the ball before we attempt to dribble past them all (slowly)

A bit of tempo - see WEST HAM / LIVERPOOL matches and we look decent.......

BBC said a LOT of empty seats again....

BBC said a LOT of empty seats again....

This game will hardly encourage people to come flocking back

This is fucking dire - really is like watching an England friendly

I tried 4 times to reply to arseofacrow.

Hopefully, this one will work.

You're right, (sometimes) my remark was arseholish

[g60gooner]

Subs were a couple of minutes early today????

[SteveO 35]

Another day playing at home against a side with no attacking ambition and we stick rigidly to the lone striker

Boring

Huh. It worked this post.

I didn't mean it though. Wonder why some posts get blocked???

My point was that you cannot compare the dip in form between Ramsey and Ox, as Ramsey ain't shown any form imo
