Austin was awful today. He’s almost the polar opposite of Shane Long in that he doesn’t do anything but score and he hasn’t done that for 12? games in the league now. Gabbi and Ings should be the first choice strike partnership and Gallagher should at least be given a chance just to see if he can cut it.
The service that the strikers receive has been inadequate for such a long time though it must be said. Redmond has recently begun to show intent at least but makes amateurish mistakes regularly. Elyounossi looks okay and hopefully will improve but should never take a corner again for us. |

For parts of the second half we were on top and should have taken the game by the scruff of the neck however we lack quality. Some of the football today reminded me of last season where we were effective at keeping possession but couldn’t do anything with it. However last season we could defend, I wouldn’t mind knowing what actually takes place in the defensive sessions in training and why Yoshi can’t get a look in is a mystery. |

With the tactics yesterday we might as well have played Gallagher up the top. I don’t wish to knock Shane Long as he gets enough stick and he has some good attributes. I can’t think of a single player who is better than him at imitating a dog chasing a tennis ball but he was never gonna stand a chance at holding it up yesterday against Van Dijk and Matip. |

My only expectation from today was a better performance than the same fixture last season, in my opinion this was not achieved. We played some alright football at times and got the ball into decent positions out wide on the over lap but that fizzled out with poor final balls. The defence is the main concern. I believe that the current defensive coaching is far worse than it was under Pellegrino. All three goals today were avoidable. The first was just ridiculous. The second is a good header from Matip but the marking is awful from set pieces and the third was terrible communication in the offside line and then a lack of desire to win the rebound. Stoke’s defensive record under Hughes last season was terrible and we don’t look much better. |
