Mark Wilson you were 100% correct totally embarrassing To be fair we've been far from embarrassing.

We've caused them more problems than most, it's just a shame we can't defend

Adam is angry from Indi yes this is Indi mistake but he was much better than you through the game. It was a massive mistake.

Adam Said it earlier in the thread, but I feel really sorry for Grant - let down time and time again by individuals in front of him. He's easily been our best player and we've still conceded four.

At least we will be first on MOTD but I won't be watching it, happy new fecking year Stoke. The defending is a complete shambles.

Wrap it up however you want. If you can't defend you'll lose games. Its that simple.
Hughes will come on an say how well we've played but we've conceded eight goals in two games. I've had enough.

In a vacuum this has been a good performance but realistically it's individual errors and defensive vulnerabilities that have bitten us once more. As I said in another thread, we're so close to being a really good side, the best of the rest no less, but under the current regime it's painfully obvious that we're so far. Let's hope Hughes addresses some of those key issues in an inspired transfer window.

Will we concede 4 against Watford? Most certainly not

So it's back to back four goal tonkings yet again.
We really are utter shite, despite the efforts by many on here to pretend everything's fine.

You've got to understand we are playing Chelsea, who are flying. Palace were flying when they hit 4 past us too? Leicester flying when they came back from 2 down with 10 men? Yeah we were going to lose today anyway but the defending and the way we have conceded is the concern. Losing today is neither here nor there.

Just didn't have the killer edge after 75mins. Bojan fiddling on the ball at the back and Indi afraid to attack it just. It's the little things. Actually played better than I thought to be fair. Just can't stop a run or counter to save our lives..

The amount of tonkings we're taking is getting beyond a joke. They CANNOT work on defending.

Indi is clearly bi-polar .Great at home, weaker than Carlsberg away. That was an awful display of how 1) to head a bouncing ball and 2) how to stand your ground. Absolutely wank that was.

Not disgraced ourselves today in many respects but sloppy in possession once again, gifting back to oppo has to be addressed, never mind, could be worse aka Swansea!!

To be honest, an entire game without Whelan, I'm pleased.
I still don't think Hughes knows his best team.
I still don't think we have enough energy, tackling in the middle of the pitch. Any of the two of Imbula, Allen, Affellay or another should be playing in the two. Hopefully it will help the defence with some more energy.
I also think the defence misses the workrate/consistency of Arnie to. The team lacks structure and reliability at still.
We can't afford to buy players to play both formations it seems to me and still be good at both.
Hughes seems to have lost confidence in what he was doing with the 4-2-3-1 , can we afford to keep stuck between two pillars?

To keep leaving the back door open and getting twatted by 4 goals no matter how well or gallant you play is gross negligence. It is like playground football from us and although I'm proud that we've had a go today - the balance of the team is totally screwed
