Would love to see Bojan on the field. Need some possession. The ball always seems to gravitate to him. He could do better with it than he has so far, but he needs his chance to shine.

We have no organisation in the centre......Ireland in.

Atmosphere is awful, you know it's bad when you can hear the coaching staff Statistically, we're home and hosed in that case! Sent from my Nexus 5 using proboards

A good half, but somme stuff to learn.
No nonsense in the back- no more silly free kicks to give away.
Victor Moses looks miraculous today, get him the ball, get men in the box. Lets find another goal and put this one to bed.
Subs? Whelan/Adam for Bojan? Maybe.

Bojan on for Crouch. He would done better wwith those two runs that Crouch has had. sure but would he have climbed over coloccini to head in the goal ??!! Not even with a ladder I mean now that we are attacking with pace. A runner is more suited than Crouchy

Nzonzi on the other hand has made zero tackles and looked poor going forward. He deserves to get taken off

I like NZonzi but every pass he makes is backwards. They look a decent side who will score. We definitely need a second. Adam looks knackered maybe Ireland on the hour. Whelan and Moses MOM for me so far.

We can't keep playing with 1 central midfielder.It's time for Adam and Nzonzi to step up their games.Adam has been conspicuous by his absence and Nzonzi seems scared to pass the ball forward. We also look unbalanced,I'd have brought Assaidi on for Diouf and switched Moses to the right.
I can see them scoring so we need to improve

Sounds great. Make sure you don't get a stiletto up your arse. Where in Rome are you!?! It would depend on the lady wearing the stiletto I suppose. I'm up near the station as it's our last night. Sent from my Nexus 5 using proboards That's up near the Opera house isn't it. I've not been since interailing in the 80's. Hope you're having a fine time...

Whelan and Moses doing the work of 4 men, Adam and Nzonzi faffing around the edges. Need to step this up or its heading for disapointment.

I have had a fine time thanks! Came for a wedding. I think you could be here for a year and not have done Rome though - will be back.
A lot of consensus on this board re the 2nd half for once. Let's see if this management lark is as simple as I've always suspected.

Muniesa was all over the shop towards the end of the half. Did he think he was playing central mid? Wilson was screaming at him to get back into position but he just wondered all over. very strange

I'm normally the one berating unnecessary negativity on here but that last 20mins worried me.
All Stoke, but can't put it to bed.
Losing Diouf was a blow - we lost pace down the right to balance out Moses who has been immense but will probably cramp up after 60mins.
Arnie is trying too hard - he does the hard part then fails to lay off the easy pass.
N'Zonzi has his 'backwards head' on tonight - wish he would drive forward and at least draw the foul.
Going to be a nervy second half if we don't score first 10-15.
GO ON STOKE, DIG IT OUT...
