Houndyuomi Played much better than that against them when they beat us in November.
8 - Rafael, Holmes, Morrison, TMc
7 - Richards, Laurent,
6 - Olise, Ejaria, Rino, Yak
5- Swift, Joao
N/A - Aluko
Credit Stoke for keeping up the pressure, they clearly identified Richards and Ejaria linking up as a danger and piled in. Joao was exiled up top and that brought on a huff. Plenty of stuff he should have chased he didn't and vice versa.
Ref was predictably awful, but on the foul throw thing, is it me or have our throw ins been bad for a while? They're always a bit hit and hope and can't retain possession from them >50% of the time at most.
Thought Joao played ok actually. Almost got us something a couple of times up top against two big physical CBs
Would move him up to 6 and Rafa to 7 and otherwise same ratings

URZZZZ Decent point, Stoke don’t lose too many and we picked up more points than 7th, 8th and 9th
Do think Meite should have started but I totally understand why he didn’t, would have been harsh to change anyone after the excellent win last week
Would have swapped Olise/Ejaria earlier for Aluko/Semedo as neither were contributing very much but all in all, a decent point and would take the same midweek

Royal Ginger Morrison’s passing was rubbish. He doesn’t deserve as much praise as he’s getting.

He’s a great defender, but it’s annoying when he constantly floats 40 yard passes straight to the opposition. He can’t pass, so just give it to others that can.

royalp-we Ref seemed to do well initially. As the game wore on he got fed up of blowing his whistle for niggly Stoke challenges.

He tried to, but they just kept giving it back to him.

Ascotexgunner Things we learned today.
1) Meite needs to start whenever possible
2) Stoke are still thuggish w*nkers and play shit boring football
3) McClean runs Knockeart very close for being the biggest c*nt in world football. He isn't a footballer he's an escapee from Broadmoor.
4) A point ain't bad if you play like that.

Seemed to take a dislike to Ejaria and personally tackled him twice in the second half!
Fair enough on the foul throws, enforcing the laws as they are written. Over the past few seasons refs at all levels have increasingly allowed players to get away with pretty much dropping the ball into play from in front of their heads!
