Season 20/21: Stoke City v Swansea City Match Thread

[dickythorpe]

AA contribution in defence being overlooked by some.

When his salary was being negotiated I'm sure defence was way down the list of what the main objective of having him were!

He's not putting it in lately like he used to.

Hourihane looks much more dangerous already as No 10

How can you tell without a time machine

 

[Magic_Michu]

Anyway. Are we playing any better with Hourihane on the pitch?

Yes... as a No.10.

What we have all been saying for ages.

 

[Captain_Sham]

There is no way to do that unless you have time machine play the game twice. Once with him and once without.
This is why I dont make ridiculous statements like" Were playing better without him" When you dont know how he would have played.

No you just make ridiculous statements about time machines Llew, sorry I fucking asked now.

I will ask again. Are we playing any better with Hourihane on the pitch?

Anyway. Are we playing any better with Hourihane on the pitch?

He's added something to our attack because he's been subbed into that role

 

[Captain_Sham]

Are we better in open play than we were?

 

[MrSwerve]

Speaking of time machines, can we go back to the start of February please?

Go and check in a parallel fucking universe

 

[JackFish]

This ref is taking the piss now. Every time Clarke goes into a challenge he’s going down like he’s been shot.

 

[dickythorpe]

Only time (machine) will tell

 

[Captain_Sham]

I will take that as a yes.

 

[Captain_Sham]

Ooo close.

 

[Magic_Michu]

Are we better in open play than we were?

Yes... but because Hourihane is not playing as an 8... we still haven’t the solidity of grimes, Fulton & Smith which allows Hourihane to just concentrate on being creative.

From the game’s we’ve seen it’s apparent Hourihane isn’t a player who can dictate play or control a game in the centre.

 

[airedale]

If Lowe hadn’t been subbed we’d have scored then.

 

[Magic_Michu]

How is Ayew still on the pitch!?!
