Time wasting expertise on show

Martina put some good balls in but looked shaky.

Decent counter but no Pelle on the end of it

20 mins left. How have we wasted the time?

It's official we won't score today!

What a save to deny Bertrand.

The usual stuff. We pass it around side to side. Barely create a decent chance though. Stoke counter and look a bit dangerous. We then pass it side to side again etc. Not enough attacking threat.

Time to take off Long and give Jay a run about. Long has offered nothing today.

1-0 Stoke written all over it

Knowing us we will "strengthen" by putting the players in for extra weight training...

Indeed. Risky strategy though not to push for 2.

Back to the first half now it seems.

I see what you did there

Made a change at half time and we look improved. Or did I miss something?

Did anyone actually say that?

Presumably carrying an injury or concerned he'll get a second yellow

Just don't think we've got the squad depth (in quality) any more. Especially to be competing on so many fronts.

We got what we deserved from this. No ambition shown at all. Sat back. No threat.

That was it. But wide.. damn

Sold too much quality and not replaced. Simple as that.

Here comes JWP that goal scoring talent!

Since the Inter game we've been awful in Europe.

And there have it. We are out. Need to score twice.

Not quite clicking so far. They are dangerous on the counter.

Possibly had the wrong attitude here. Wasted some years of his career. Is more determined to make something of it now. Anyhow - one good game against Hull. What else has he done this season so far?
