Match Thread Stoke v Leicester

[NYC Fox]

We're slowly improving.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Very lucky to still be 0-0. Just getting out played and out-battled.

Needs Vardy and Drinkwater on.

 

[londonfox]

KP did well there against Moses

Who's KP?

 

[floppus]

I think he'll make a change at half time if it stays like this. Can see Drinky or Camby coming on

Hammonds taxi is outside

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Who's KP?

Kaul Ponchesky.

 

[TommyK]

Who's KP?

:icon_bigg Doh!

 

[Motown Fox]

We need to toughen up. They are bullying us

 

[Miles Away]

This is diabolical.

Changes needed immediately .

 

[Cate Fox]

Pretty poor from lcfc I have to agree

 

[LES Fox]

Not pretty, we'll be lucky to make it to HT at 0-0.. Please NP make the changes in midfield

 

[TommyK]

Yep. Poor going forward so far. Midfield offering no control of the game.

 

[Cate Fox]

I hope kasper is back next week as hamer is scaring the crap out of me.

 

[londonfox]

Has Hamer made any obvious mistakes?

 

[tedfoxxx]

0-0 at HT. We've been pants with the exception of De Laet.

Nugent, Ulloa and Mahrez have barely touched the ball and there's been zero intent and imagination going forward.

 

[tedfoxxx]

Has Hamer made any obvious mistakes?

A flap, a spill and a scuff. Two good claims. One good rush and clearance.

Hope this helps.

 

[Miles Away]

Desperately need someone sitting in front of the back four cleaning up the second balls.

I don't care what people say... This is the same Stoke they have always been. Big long balls into Crouch, knocking down to runners. And we have nobody cleaning up those scraps at all.

Additionally they are playing very high up the pitch.

In short this is screaming out for Vardy and Cambiasso/Drinkwater.

Pull Mahrez and Nugent.

 

[LES Fox]

Has Hamer made any obvious mistakes?

Looks nervous which is maybe understandable, not moving his feet; positionally doesn't look secure.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Has Hamer made any obvious mistakes?

He's dropped the ball a couple of times and looked very dodgy on 2 or 3 occasions.

Definite changes needed at HT. Scandalous we're not 2 or 3 down in this one. Stoke must be kicking themselves.

Id say Hammond and Nuge for Cambiasso and Vardy. Probably just the midfield change at half time.

On the bright side we made it to half time at 0-0 and have good options to change the game

 

[homer]

Dreadful first half. We look miles off the pace

Nugent and Schlupp might as well go and sit in the stands, for all the value they have provided

We're making them look good, and they're shite
