Couple of comments about Van Ginkel being shit, Joselu not being great and Haugaard being shit at penalties, think some people are getting carried away by the fact it's a televised tournament and forgetting this is the first match that a good chunk of our squad has played since May. They aren't going to be perfect, we shouldn't expect them to be, what we should do is take positives (And there were a lot) from what we saw instead of gunning our players down at first sight.

Absolutely. What are they - a week and a half into pre-season? Under TP they wouldn't have even seen a football yet.

Most of the comments are pretty tongue in cheek, you'll always get some knobheads who judge a player on his first game.
Look at some of the shit Bojan and MBD got at the start of last season.

I think a good 80% of the comments were sarcastic, in fairness.

Yeah a lot of them are tongue in cheek to be fair but I've seen a few that you can tell are genuine opinions which is worrying  |

Anybody at the pre-season game at Rhyl a few years back when we got thrashed by them playing our first XI
That was the start of a long and painful decline!

Haugaard was excellent! MVG and Joselu were OK.  |

Did you really take those comments seriously? I didn't. I did! Joselu? What did he do? van Crinkle gave the ball away easily in his own half and almost gifted EFC a goal. Haugaard did look good and yes I do like him but surely no-one sees the Great Dane as a top penno stopper.  |

The game today was no more important than a training session at Clayton Wood.

It's beyond me how anyone can come to so many conclusions about our players after one pre season game. I've seen us perform admirably in some pre seasons and get consistently battered throughout the league campaign following. Likewise, I've seen some mind numbing matches with players looking out of sorts and lethargic yet once the season commences they looked different players.
I don't read too much into it. Ilł reserve my judgement until August when the real football starts.

In fairness on PS4 you can win the Champions League in a week from the Conference

I thought Joselu looked useful, Arnie was ace and the young keeper was pretty good. Don't forget, Everton put quite a strong side out and we coped with them. Looking forward to a good season

Did you really take those comments seriously? I didn't. Correct. This is the Oatcake, not a mothers meeting. EDIT: More of a meeting of motherf**kers...  |

It was a good showing by all Stoke players - after all, they did NOT lose.

The post Everton comments were all tongue in cheek. I think we've learned our lesson about how meaningless pre season friendlies are, this time last year Teixeira was being compared to Beckenbauer.  |
