Match thread V Stoke.

We just look slow and predictable. I do think teams have worked us out and being top of the league its got to be expected that teams will come to our place and park the bus. I agree on Zohore - he has absolute garbage last night. But to be fair I can’t really pick out a stand out player for Even Pereira was isolated for long periods.

Top of the league but worried.

[Dubbag]

After calming down after a night's sleep, the only thing that I am grasping onto is the fact if you said that, with 18 games to go, we would be top and five points clear of the third side, I would have snatched your hand off at the start of the season.

Very funny post Tipp.
Very true....but very funny.
Of course you are right. Such is life and the unpredictability of this great league. I too am still amazed we are top.
So happy days. Let's enjoy the FA cup game and see how it pans out.
Love it...😁

West Ham with blow us away Dub unfortunately another defeat.

[Bombers right foot]

shades of West Ham here, blistering start then a slump, his inability to change things and have a plan B is worrying, also last night players like Kanu, Zohore and Phillips to a certain extent were very poor indeed, surely even as subs Willock and Tullock should be given a go, they couldn’t do any worse. Bilic seems very stubborn in the way he operates.

Depressing wasn't it. For me the player that has got away lightly from all the flack flying around for some awful performances is Livermore. It was his shocking pass that led to the goal and I'm sure his first 3 passes went to a Stoke shirt as did others after that.

Is he back on the “Devil’s dandruff” I wonder?

Hi mickd1961 I see you've come round to my way of thinking that team has no chance of getting promoted with that clown in charge just look at his decisions last night awful but I've told you all this before.Why is he playing Townsend / Phillips / hegazi shall I go on he's clueless that's why west ham got rid.

Injuries to some of his best players like GD, NF and KG has nothing to do with it, nor does the s hit scouting system has so far recruited no one to freshen up this squad.

My main concern with the side is our inability to keep a clean sheet. Stoke was a typical example. They hardly threatened our goal and on the one occasion that they did, they scored. This is our major problem. However, I do believe that the loss of Gibbs, Diangana and Ferguson has had an impact and it is no coincidence that our form has dipped during their absence.
