Stoke City vs Aston Villa Match Thread

Stoke can't be this shite for 90 minutes can they?  Unless we get another I hope they can be.

They can, but we can be even shittier then they are for the next 45 minutes.

[N'ZMAV]

Fucking hell, they are bad. Good first 45 mins for us. Can we finally have 2 good halves of Football?

[Lamb_Stockmix]

Bring on Bent. Remember him?

He'll seal this game.

[Summers]

Gabby's 60th Premiership goal. Joint top with Yorkie for us in the Prem now.

Not been done since Swansea at home.

[Matt Collins]

Right. Relax for 15.

Barring the missed chances a great performance so far. But we've been here so often before with this side. As absolutely awful as Stoke have been, they're going to get a chance at some point from a set piece. We really need a second.

Westwood has been absolutely fantastic. He really does look like Michael Carrick today.

They're struggling to cope with both our possession and our breakaway play. But we've missed two one on ones. We need Benteke to get one of these gilt edged chances.

I do think CNZ at some point could be really dangerous.

But I'm genuinely not sure I can stomach watching the second half. This is so important for us this game.

Relax ! Are you mad ?

I need to relax for half time or I'm going to have a coronary

Let's see if our erudite gaffer can work his magic during the interval.

We could desperately do with an early 2nd half goal. If we do, their crowd will turn against them.

for who?

[JUAN PABLO]

Stoke lose this and their will be another manager causality

[ez]

I expect there will be a storm to be weathered at the start of the second half.

[neo_Villan]

Bring on Bent. Remember him?

for who?

Exactly. We should not be changing shape to accommodate Bent.

We will let you off in that case.

Depends how the game is going. I wouldn't bring him on yet.

Could take off Bowery and go 4-2-4

Agreed, game should be over by now, another goal and the crowd will turn on pulis and his men.
