Played well so far . Just need belief in the last third . Trouble will be last 20 when they make changes but so far we look solid at least which is a lot more than we have been under Hughes for the past couple of years.

Are we Stoke fit though to maintain this again for another 48 minutes.

Will Erik be ok for the 2nd half?

I would bring on Berahino as Diouf offers nothing up front at all. He can,t do any worse & needs to prove something to everybody.

Best half under Lambert so far Agreed. Bauer and Allen have been excellent. The defence looks tight and the team as a whole are all playing for each other. We look fitter than we've looked all season. I agree apart from Allen.. He's got no creativity or vision. His technical ability is so poor, he's useless when he has time on the ball, he wasted us a fantastic opportunity when he was gifted the ball 35 yards out with no defenders in front of him. Yes, his defensive abilities are ok and runs around a lot and looks busy. he is doing a good job in pressing them but beyond that he can't pass a ball forward to save his life.

Arse will go 1-0 up inside the first 10 mins of the 2nd half and that will be that!!
Needed to get our noses in front

Will Erik be ok for the 2nd half? I hope so, because if he goes off we have to ultimately change formation and lose any hope we had.

How on earth can Arsenal be THAT shit and we still can’t get anywhere near scoring a goal?

If only we had anything up front.
Mame is a shadow of the player he was at his best, and he wasn't even everyone's cup of tea then.

If you can't recognize that Joe is Stoke's best player there's no helping you. The ball to Bauer was excellent.

Bauer MoM so far, a revelation in this role Be tempted to take Sobhi off & bring on Ireland so SHaq has someone who can trap and pass a ball. They are there for the taking today

Superb? Jesus you're easily pleased. Were competent at best. Which is an improvement of sorts. Give some credit where its due mate. What else would you of wanted? 3-0 down at half time with hughes in charge? Arsenal have been shit because we've stopped them playing and pressed them high. Calling them competent is credit, and I'd say its about where we're at. We've got closer to them rather than standing off but Arsenal have been poor. Mainly due to them being been sloppy in possession and having that little orc cunt Wilshire as Captain.

Johnson to left back (he played a whole season there for Liverpool) Cameron to right back Shape maintained Alternatively Bauer to right back, Johnson to left back,Shaw wide right, Ireland on. But that's probably too many changes. However Eric is one to play through the pain barrier.

Lack of urgency, we are playing like a team who have 40 points and are sitting in tenth place, not a team who wants to survive in the premiership FFS! We're the team in the white shirts mate ![8D](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/Fmz6MA_QgzQsf9jj3_d8.gif)

The boys done good but like others I can’t help feeling we’ve been here before - it’s hard to see anything but a bit more heartache from this point in.

I thought Allen was the best player in the 1st half but on Oatcake he is the worst. I thought the team was very good but on Oatcake the team has no urgency I thought Ramadan was pressing everywhere prevented Bellerin from attacking, but he still has a confidence problem in the attack but on Oatcake he is rubbish. I thought the only negative player in the first half was Johnson, but no one mentioned that. Most probably I am watching another game.

Berahino does make good runs so with Shaqiri central he wouldn't be the worst sub..... even if he hasn't scored for 2 years.

Love your enthusiasm but you can't defend Ramadan when he's attacking can you? He always makes the wrong decision and loses the ball.
