Stoke 2 Everton 0

Against a team like this we have to be more direct. Need to test the goalie as well. So far all he has had to deal with are back passes.

Fuller with a shot from inside the box - blocked.

Stoke goalie booked after taking down Saha.

We got a freekick from that booking on the edge of the box. Let's see what we can do....

Arteta takes it and hitsw the wall. Low....

Free kick right at the wall....

Baines on a run into the box, takes the shot, blocked and cleared.

It's good to have Arteta back.

32 mins gone....

Takeaway that Cahill header and we have been poor and offered little.

Stoke corner after Distin almost shoot towards Howard on a back pass. Dangerous corner and then a dangerous cross.

Another coming up, from the right side this time. Baines to take it though. Oh that was close. Baines freekick is wide of the post after Begovic totally misses the ball. Could have been a goal that.

1537: MISSED PENALTY by Man City's Carlos Tevez. His low shot rolls wide, and he didn't get much behind it either.

1536: PENALTY to Man City

Stoke are pretty compact and we are not getting much time on the ball making opening passes.

Baines lucky not to get booked.

I get -2 x 2 as he is my captain

Saha goes down in the box, not a peno nor is it called.

If an outfield player had tackled Saha the same way Begovic did, would it have been a red card? I think so.

A ball rolls accross the middle and no one there to touch it home.

how crap are we?

Good attack but the Coleman low cross goes through the box and all the players out for a throw in.

We are not creating much to warrant a goal....

Need to replace Neville for me here.

Again a backwards pass, and Coleman not been given any service at all from him. Shit defending for the goal too. Get off the pitch you useless clown.

We really have to move more off the ball than what we are. There are too often that the player with the ball ends up not having anyone to pass to.
