Did Koeman get on the right team bus?

[Deleted]

'His team played far better'.....was he watching the same game

[fca47]

No he must have watched the MOTD highlights.

[s7oke]

Krona think he watched the same game to be honest

[s7oke]

I can understand now his mistake
He thought Southampton were the team in red and white !!!!

[cobhamstokey]

They did play well without much punch. "Much better" is stretching it a bit. I think a draw would have been about right not that I'm complaining

[Deleted]

Can't stand the bloke. Another arrogant manager who thinks his team has a divine right to win every week

[swede]

But they did play better than us in parts of the game. Our defence was good. And we never gave up and got the winning goal well deserved. The guys can be proud.

[partickpotter]

Maybe he was reading the Oatcake match day thread?

[Plave]

They played better than us for much of the game and were very unlucky to lose tbh

[Lakeland Potter]

They have an excellent defence - maybe Chelsea's has been better at the Brit this season but that's about it. Yet we managed to score two and miss two open goals from short range so that suggests we did as well or better against their defence as most other teams in the league.

It was a frustrating game because of their strong defence and because we, again, conceded a soft goal from a set piece. But on the positive side Bego had very little to do - he made one big howler when he went walkabout on the left hand edge of his penalty area. That mistake was nullified, not by Southampton's poor luck, but by Whelan's excellent work to get back and block the shot on the line - ironically one of the few good things Whelan did in the game as he was (that block apart) very much the weak link yesterday.

All in all we were well worth the win.

[metalhead]

Agreed. Smug self entitled bastard who thought he was going to stroll into Stoke, take 3 points, shag a few women and walk out laughing with a cigar in his mouth.

Southampton had periods of good possession but that stats clearly contradict his argument. About 50% possession each, similar amount of shots etc. For the most part, we cancelled each other out.

Very nice to beat him. I wonder if he refused to shake hands again. Prick.

This is what happens when you believe your own hype.

He is a fat,deluded fuck stain who thinks he's some sort of managerial messiah.
His team were pretty shit I thought and took part in a fairly shit game,with both sides not anywhere near their best and willing to give the ball away as often as possible.
We were the better side until they scored,then they were on top for the rest of the first half.
The second half was fairly even but we created by far the better and clearer chances throughout and for him to say that they were the better team is just him trying to convince himself they were.

If all chances on goal were taken...stoke would have won 5-2

just another in a long, long list of managers who just dont like / cant handle - losing to Stoke City

Crazy Dutch bastard.

We played better than them in parts as well.

Just how were they unlucky to lose, we scored two decent goals and missed a further two sitters which should have been finished they created the one they scored and the one Whelen blocked if all chances were taken we would have won even more handsomely. At no point were we under pressure with the ball pinging round our box and the wood work been repeatedly struck. What actually happened was two fairly even teams contesting a game in which for once we were the more clinical and therefore deserved all three points.

Long may it continue

[uttoxeterpotter]

Maybe as my eldest lad reckons he's the face on the back of a Megabus.

[mrcoke]

Koeman and De Gaal were right about 1 thing in their interviews; the winner is the team who scores more goals. Possession, passing accuracy, corners, etc count for nothing if you don't get the ball in the net. Hitting the woodwork is also missing the target.

The only sense in which Stoke "stole " the result was that they had 15 shots but only 2 on target, which is appalling.

[thestokielad]

If crouch and nzonzi scored their tap ins then he wouldn't of been saying that the dickhead

[Staffsoatcake]

I can't see how he could get on the wrong team bus, there was only one bus with the losing team on it.

[Billybigbollox]

I was waiting for a gust of wind to whip his syrup off and leave a shiny slap head behind.

[wozzer72]

That Sammy Lee must live under a little foot bridge and feed on goats the fucking ugly little Troll.

[prem4stoke]

nearly every game we have lost we should have done better shit happens!
