Not being funny but why don't we have phillips as an out and out striker?

[Dubbag]

We need a second goal quickly to put Stoke out of it.....we are always prone to concede a goal .....

[mickd1961]

Our defence is terrible.

Full backs don’t switch on to wide runners and centre halves turn their back instead of facing up to runners and shots.

We need to score three even against s h I t sides to be sure of a result.

[boingy]

Townsend really looks in a lower league when it comes to the fluid movement we have. Reminds me of a woodentop,

[Barrera]

We seemed to have switched off after looking untouchable for first 10 mins. Livermore just needlessly booked out of frustration. Stoke look a poor side mind - also gone are the days of the Stoke crowd being the extra player.... can only hear our lot singing....

[mickd1961]

So frustrating watching our final ball and decision making by fullbacks when on the attack.

This ref needs to get a grip.

Stupid boy Livermore.

[Dubbag]

Distribution from the back is atrocious....
