Stoke vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[Ron Manager]

Rory Delap summarising on Radio Stoke. He throws in a comment from time to time.....about 80yards!

Once again, there's no plan when we have the ball, no real ideas. It's all on-the-hoof, in many ways.

Have to agree.

Solid at the back, no idea what to do when we have the chance to move forward.

That's your swift counter-attacking football, that is.

[Toronto Villa]

Not many goals today anywhere.

[pauliewalnuts]

Shocking tackle on Craig Charles there.

He'll probably need to go off at half time to get to the BBC to do his Funk and Soul Show on time.

If we are going to be a defensive, countering side then we should at least be good at defending, which we appear to be. However, we also appear no good at that other thing, the one involving goals.

Well lets hope this is just the away tactic we are seeing here.

[SamTheMouse]

I fucking hate N'Zonzi, no talent thug.

To be fair, he scored my best ever goal on Pro Evo a couple of years ago, an amazing dipping volley from about 40 yards.

So he's not all bad.

Without the swift bit.

[Tuscans]

Nothing will change until someone buys us with massive ambition in my opinion.

[mjravfc]

N'Zogbia's still rubbish then.

[richl]

Our throw ins seem a bit better

[Tuscans]

N'Zogbia never seems to shift the ball around the player and runs straight into them.

[CJ]

N'Zogbia's got to do better there

[pauliewalnuts]

Stoke aren't very good.

Without the swift bit.

And the attacking.
