I doubt that he is told to do that. Further, I doubt that an instruction made before a game would influence what he would do if there was a good opportunity to make a name for himself here. He just lacks the confidence to take on his man. Stoke have many former Internationals, former premier league players etc in the game. There is no reason that players who have played football since the age of 4 and made it to such heights are incapable of seeing the game unfold in front of them and making tactical decisions to influence the game themselves. Footballers are supposed to breathe the sport, surely they aren’t that stupid that they can’t do this? On that basis we would be playing quick dynamic attacking football 🤣 I am hardly suggesting that he is a world beater stifled by taking instructions but we are playing slow unadventurous football with players looking for a safe backwards or sideways pass. It just seems like he is sticking with the plan. Yes, we should be playing quick, dynamic football. Tom Ince has been the only player that has decided to get into a bit of space and try to pass forward when he has the ball. Every other Stoke player has hid behind a marker and shirked responsibility for taking control of the game. I doubt that is by design.

He's bad anyway but in the middle of a back 3? Asking for trouble.

Fox & Chester proving that they are nowhere near the level required. Shambolic.

“Gillingham will be kicking themselves” according to Nige. I’m sure he mentioned them earlier as well!

If these could finish things could have turned very iffy for MON.
