Just looking at the stats on fotmob as xG isn't necessarily a reliable measure of territorial dominance. We touched the ball in Stoke's box 31 times, whereas they touched the ball in our box just 16 times. For reference, even Southampton who beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-1 at home only touched the...

I usually look like that by full time TBF

Do you think Sunderland really got value from that? Their form after his signing was terrible

Looks like it's stuck down not riveted mate

Honestly if i was a Stoke fan sat next to the dickhead filming and talking about absolute scenes I would struggle to contain myself Yeah, we managed the game brilliantly in injury time, kept them at arm's length

I always think back to a few times when Man United seemed to come to Highfield Rd and win narrowly without battering us. Their treble winning team for example.

In fairness to him it's just not his personality, that's not a problem.

He is very important because there isn't an alternative who can currently get to his standard

Regardless of that, if you can score goals from throw ins, corners or free kicks why WOULDN'T you play for them? Just 39 for the season now Mark.

I mean he was right in that we didn't create anything clear cut, which by our standards is unusual. I don't think overall though he could argue that we were anything but the better side.

He did a 50 yard run at one point TBF, he was really good. I think sometimes you need to recognise that he isn't expected to necessarily get beyond EMC, Stoke's game plan is to counter attack via the wings.

Point scoring is life

Irrelevant really, both were written off at this level. No reason why they don't keep improving, they're young players for their position.

I remember the consensus on here that Thomas and Kitching weren't good enough, the usual clueless suspects

Rushworth 7 Back four all excellent 8 Grimes and Torp 7 BTA and Sakamoto 6 Wright 5.5 EMC 9 Subs Simms 7 KKH n/a

Honestly Haji, another insipid performance. Flat track bully

We've not been at it second half. If they score you feel it is game over.

Haji second to everything

To an extent but when he had a couple of decent openings he looked like he had no idea what he wanted to do

We have been but need to make it count, I want more aggression from the forwards when we're crossing the ball in, nobody ever makes a near post run it's quite predictable
