Adam header saved by heaton.

Stoke corner. It's with Heaton now. Comfortable save from a free header.

CombatClaret · Post by **CombatClaret** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:24 pm

Stoke corner, effort on goal.

Take note Burnley.

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:24 pm

Another Stoke corner, clearance from Ward

Everton up

Another corner for stoke. Wasted.

No-one up to support Gray but still we're getting caught on the counter!

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:25 pm

we need way more from our front two, not holding anything up whatsoever

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:25 pm

Yes, Gray too isolated

box_of_frogs · Post by **box_of_frogs** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:27 pm

Neither keeper really tested so far.

KefkaClaret · Post by **KefkaClaret** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:27 pm

Boyd and Gray have been woeful

box_of_frogs · Post by **box_of_frogs** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:27 pm

Barton giving it away again!!!!!!

ClaretCanada · Post by **ClaretCanada** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:27 pm

Barton making some horrible passes

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:27 pm

Barton gives it away again.

box_of_frogs · Post by **box_of_frogs** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:28 pm

Barton off, Defour and Hendrick in the middle, Brady on left wing. Please!!

COME ON BURNLEY!

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:28 pm

Adam is a real threat

box_of_frogs · Post by **box_of_frogs** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:29 pm

Adam smashes Barton and not booked again!

ClaretCanada · Post by **ClaretCanada** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:29 pm

We are living very dangerously

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:30 pm

got to be said, this is ******* dreadful

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:30 pm

All the chances to Stoke so far

Arnsououoauntovic wastes another chance. Living dangerously!

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:30 pm

Big chance for Stoke but they've messed up again.

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:30 pm

We've lost our mojo after that run of 4 away games

My stream is a minute or so behind everyone else and everytime I refresh this page I'm terrified what I'm going to read.

CombatClaret · Post by **CombatClaret** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:31 pm

Waylaid passes and Stoke being comfortable in the air not doing us any favours.

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:31 pm

Last minute. Please hang on

ClaretCanada · Post by **ClaretCanada** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:31 pm

HT need a good slapping, call Moyes over.

box_of_frogs · Post by **box_of_frogs** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:31 pm

We've zero confidence!

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:32 pm

That was terrible. Completely bereft of ideas

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:33 pm

HT. Not great. Need more width (Brady) and Barton giving it away too often. Stoke are a decent side and should be ahead having had two massive chances.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:34 pm

Really poor.

We finally get our most talented player onto the pitch from the start and isolate him in a totally alien position, I honestly cannot understand playing Defour as almost a left wing back as he is tonight.

Play him in the middle of the pitch, or send him back to Belgium and get Brady into that team - this is pointless.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:34 pm

Vokes off Barnes on will make a huge difference. Sam just can't hold the ball up at this level

northernpowerhouse · Post by **northernpowerhouse** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:34 pm

For Christ's sake put Defour in the middle! We're crying out for a bit of control in central midfield.

stitch · Post by **stitch** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:36 pm

Hoping Barton off at HT, alongside the fact he has been woeful, the duel with Adam is likely not going to end well.

Please God move Defour to the middle.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:36 pm

yep, Barton off, brady on, defour in the middle and have a go, we are sleepwalking to the Championship

CombatClaret · Post by **CombatClaret** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:37 pm

Plan A not working so far.

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:37 pm

Nobody wants the ball, mistakes everywhere. Roll your socks up 2nd half.

CaptJohn · Post by **CaptJohn** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:37 pm

Christ that was awful. No one wants to put his foot on the ball and Barton is having a shocker. Thank goodness Arnautovic is off colour

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:39 pm

Brady for Gray, get Defour alongside Barton pulling the strings and utilise Hendricks energy and mobility to link midfield and attack.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:42 pm

I think we should go 4-5-1. Brady on for Vokes and Defour into the middle.

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:42 pm

Who'd have thought we'd be witnessing another shocking half of football?

diamondpocket · Post by **diamondpocket** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:44 pm

Lets be honest; how Boyd continues to start I'll never know; for running around OK; he can't run 10 yards without being caught; can't turn with the ball and get away; just passes backwards, always back to goal; never plays balls through; can't cross, hardly crosses when in position; defensively he aint doing that much as they are countering often.
Can someone please explain to me what he does to merit a place?

From the words of Oddball

Blackrod · Post by **Blackrod** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:46 pm

Think we will lose this. Ball doesn't stick with front two. Vokes might as well be a cardboard cut out. If they score first I think that's it.Defour at least has some class about him and Mee and Ward look good.

mkmel · Post by **mkmel** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 8:46 pm

Jeff Hendrick has hardly had a kick unless it was while I was falling asleep during the first half
