Maybe at the fact he had to play in CM? Sounds like Koeman might be losing the trust of the players.

He was down on his haunches for long after the final whistle and walked off without clapping the fans as well.

[emoji23] silly old bint.

You'll still be a c*nt with no morals no matter what your career brings. If karma exists you'll be in a wheelchair before long.

I honestly do. I've seen him play some fantastic passes, tackle viciously and cover a lot of ground...the whole team is low on confidence right now, ridiculous to write him off when everyone is struggling.

It's been an entirely disjointed team and season from the start. To use a phrase much loved by Rodgers, we're in a season of transition right now. Important thing is to keep hold of Mane for next season - Wanyama can go, he's replaceable and tbh been more of a liability this season.

Was very good the last 10 minutes and after the game. Hopefully that carries on.

Nothing wrong with Clasie.

I was there, Citys support was excellent. Ours - except between 2-1 and 3-1 - was awful.

Yawn. He's an effective Premier League player who on the whole has done a good job for us.

I assume the Prem will be putting similar pressure on Stoke.

Quite glad i was late to the ground, heard it from outside. Shared that article on facebook...waiting for the backlash from people who haven't actually thought about it at all!

Came back from 2-2 against fulham in our first season back up with a last minute equaliser as well. It happens as often for us as most other teams.

That was funny the first time, i believe it was away to United when we won 1-0? They were chanting something to that tune and we responded with that. It's awful in any other context though.

A flare from the stoke fans. Not a terrorist attack.

That was abysmal. Cant believe stoke escaped without a booking for repeated fouling but JWP gets a yellow for a nothing tackle shortly after coming on! Don't even get me started on booking Pelle for a shot immediately after an admittedly stupid handball. The Stoke players definitely influenced that.

Shane Long is more than capable of holding the ball up, and is actually a better header of the ball than Pelle. I say we rest everyone for these two and put a team of scarecrows out.

Even Mane took a while to get settled. That miss away to Spurs last season...

You what? Don't think so somehow. Only sat there once - Chelsea in the league cup a few seasons back - and it was absolutely dreadful. Maybe a poor game to judge as it wouldn't have had the usual lot in there. Might consider moving for a game this season to try it out.

That sounds like it's going to be quite uncomfortable to be honest. It's like someone offering their condolences over and over and over again...eventually you just start to think they don't mean it and are doing it for show.

The thing about it for me is that if i'm stood there listening to the French national anthem it will feel very forced, insincere and just plain out of place. It'll feel uncomfortable rather than respectful because of that.

That's probably just speculation, but the idea of it does send shivers down my spine.

So all games are safe to book off work up till Arsenal on the 2nd of feb?

This idea that he makes a mistake a game has come from nowhere. Unless you're counting a misplaced pass, in which case everyone makes a mistake a game.
