Hence why we are working very hard at stopping the supply at source - doing we'll some far but need to improve our passing as well. Picking Walters and Crouch telegraphed Stoke's understandable intentions to prey on our weakness in the air at the back.
Disagree with the commentator - Stoke haven't blunted us, we've blunted ourselves as our final ball has been atrocious - is it very windy or something?
We look dreadful again. Lots of pointless passing in the Stoke half because we have no clever movement. Moreno is letting Walters get in behind far too easily. They must have identified him as a weakness.
Were going out here, giving the ball away, and can't defend for toffee, jumping up to head the ball away, and bloody missing it, were all over the shop.
