S-Clarke

He did a pretty fine job on the hole of getting his tactics right today. Bloody fans.

We don't really though, do we? We conceded 3 today for the first time since WHU I think....not too bad. So, no, we don't really concede many these days. Today was a funny one though.

Eh? calm down. He was poor today, and was in the last game. He's not a PL keeper.

I'm also confused about the reputation Boruc has got. Simply, it just seems to have stemmed from the altercation he had with our fans??? Because when he palyed, he didn't do much wrong. Not sure why he doesn't play.

Wouldn't say anything like that is hanging on this game, way too early to have that sort of game. If it was in April, or May - probably, but not in January. They're not great, never really rated them. Very young, but young with little quality. We can win up there, I'm sure of it.

We'll be alright, all a bit too panicky on here. We've turned into such a competitive PL team now (some people will disagree, but I think we're a different side to that which started the season). Bring on Arsenal, Villa and Everton. Points up for grabs there.

Totally, could have easily lost that in the 2nd half.

This is pretty much how I see it. Frustrating, but all said a done - a good point. Not many teams get anything up there. Still, we go into January within touch of a load of teams and we can address the few problems we have. I actually don't think we're too bad at all. Apologies for saying that...!

If it was me, Puncheon would have been subbed for Mayuka...not Richardson. Odd one that.

He's an easy scapegoat for this one. He doesn't help himself with misses like that! Changed the game, at 4-1 it was done, dusted. But he had a fanstiac 1st half, best he's played in the PL for us - 2nd half he was poor though, ball retention sloppy and he didn't cause half as many problems.

Very flappy, not the sort of GK you want against the aerial bombardment that is Stoke. We were lucky we didn't lose that in the 2nd half. Not too confident with him.

We'll be alright, we've got a lot about us and will cause more teams problem. Pretty confident to be honest.

It was a great effort, but the 2nd half was always going to be a slog if we're honest. We need to win, obviously, but every single person on planet earth would have taken a draw before the start of play. Given the position we were in at points during that game, it's frustrating we didn't hold out - but Stoke bombarded us in the 2nd half and were back to their normal selves, and let's be honest - we can't really compete with that, but we did a damn fine job at trying. The goal to draw it level was a cracking, hold your hands up to that. No stopping those. It's another point, but we're in the bottom 3. Need to get 3 against Arsenal.

Heads have gone.

there is absoloutley nothing you can do about a goal like that.

that was a goal and a half.

My heart is currently in my stomach.

Danny fox for shaw, makes sense to me.

bit of inexperience by shaw there.

This is relentless.

Playing pace on the break against this lot now, could get some rewards.

Flapped at a throw.

wtf davis

Yep.

Nzonzi is off. Another turniung point.
