Our only chance to win this game has come and gone. The Gooners will come back and thrash us in the 2nd half.
Mark my words.

In the grand scheme of things good first half, the difference in closing down and defence since Lambert arrived is phenomenal. Doiuf and Sobhi poor though.

So Alan Smith isn't happy because "his " team having got going.
Cue more the same shit from Henry in the studio no doubt
Easily holding our own though yet again a frighteningly lack of creativity.

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! It’s past 12 o clock fella

We've been absolutely superb. Simple. Surprised everyone. Need more in the last third mind. Where has this performance come from? Downside is surely Arsenal will improve second half. The longer it stays 0.0 though the more grumpy their crowd will get.

We've been absolutely superb. Simple. In a nutshell mate. We have given everything there. Another half like that then we could well walk away with 3 points here. Brilliant stoke Superb for me would mean we we’re leading.

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.

How many times have we broke up play, only to fuck it up 10 secondes later?
On saying that weve not really been carved open at will which is a positive
Wenger Will change things up at half time and speed things up So expect a second half onslaught
ID be happy with a point right now

This game is actually winnable. We've more than held our own first half.

That's not bad
We press them when they have the ball and I like that, we are not giving them time on the ball which is the only way they can play. We have done our homework and the players are mostly implementing the plan.
The right side combo is working
Allen is just frustrating..... his lack of technical ability has let us down a few times when we have been in promising positions.
Sobhi looks like an Evo-Stik player

Good half. Allen worked his socks off, and Bauer has really fitted in well there.
Sobhi is SOOOOOO frustrating.

Stoke better than expected, Arsenal much worse than expected. A 0-0 would be a good result and it looks a possibility today. Can't see this staying nil nil, just hope we pox a goal Hope the crowd start getting on their backs, but I suspect them Lot could even manage that. Library, Library, Library(the team the phrase was invented for)

Really good work rate and pressing. Sadly yet again we're so wasteful when in a good position. Hopefully we can repeat the performance 2nd half, but I'll be amazed if Arse are that bad again.

Hellu!
I'm listening on Radio Stoke live audio through StokeCity+ player. It's great. I' m not having Viasat Sport tv channel over here in Sweden. Yet.
It sounds like we're doing ok, but Ramadan seems to have no will to pass his man and take a shot or two.

We’ve gone to a side who annually paste us. We’re 2nd from bottom with another 4 injuries. We’ve been on top for long periods and restricted a top side to no clear chances. Everyone wrote this game off. For me we’ve done superb

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.

Maybe Lambert isn't as bad as some have made out? Well there's still 45 minutes for Arsenal to actually show up. We can reassess then.
