I agree that it was poor defending. It looked like so tired legs. If there are players who struggle to see out 90 they should be substituted, especially if they are in defensive roles.Quote:

I am still not convinced that Muric could do nothing. He seemed to barely make an effort to react quickly.
Still, the result is the result. Bring on the Potters.

I have to agree Swiss-Charlie made some important blocks but I dont think he fits the Vinny player profile as good as Beyer does.He moves the ball around much quicker than Charlie which is essential for the style of play Vinni wants.I was very impressed with the German lad when he started.
Stoke getting hammered at home by Watford and they come to the Turf on Wednesday. Let's hope that this is not a banana skin game, Stoke can only improve!
I agree with Swiss, Muric just seemed to give up to it, maybe he'd read it wrongly but it looked like he only had to stick his hand out to stop it. I'm also not convinced that a 6ft 5 ins keeper couldn't have got the long ball they lumped up that led to the goal, a floater from inside their half onto the edge of our box. Shouldn't have been difficult for him.Quote:

I wouldnt care normally or if isolated.... I have seen this 4 times this season, and now 2 games in a fcking row!!
Kompany must take some responsibility. Ever time we score we take the foot off the gas, and try and control the game and slow it down.. that is great if we either have time left after settling we can press the button and push on to kill the game... but we dont 4 times I have seen use trying to see the game out by sitting deeper, slowing down to near stopping.. and we get caught out time and time again...
If we do not have the ability or persons to defend a lead as we used to, then we clearly need to carry on as we where to get a second to out score the opposition..
why is Kompany doing this? City dont stop and down tools after scoring .. they carry on and on and on... why do we keep doing this?
whats the point in 70% possession, 14 corners dominating the game... to keep throwing away the hard work, via this BS of taking the foot off the gas... it clearly doesn't work..!!
I hope Pace is a patient man otherwise VK will be looking for a job, truly I'm not impressed. :mad:
Where did you expect us to be in the table after 12 games BT? At the start of the season I feared the worst. Now I hope for the best.
VK has assembled a squad that could rip most Championship teams apart, but the constant tinkering and team rotation is not giving the team any consistent platform to work from.Quote:

And VK can then tinker mid-match, we have the depth of squad to adjust if things are going wrong.
We CANNOT defend a lead and that MUST change.
Cardiff were bobbins on Saturday and so were Stoke last night - 4 points chucked away in four days because we can't see games out.
It's rubbish warminster, Bellamy and VK need to get their heads together or else ring SD and ask him how to defend.
