I'm not totally doom and gloom though, I think we're actually playing alright and I can see some shape coming. We just have a few massive glaring problems. | |

The Official Stoke City Versus Swansea City Match Thread on 15:47 - Apr 2 by GeoffThom | I've come to the conclusion that jack cork is a very mediocre player and gives us nothing |
He's a good ball winner (but not as good as Britton) and not much more. He's not as good on the ball as Britts and why they're ever on the same pitch is baffling. If this is Guido's idea of playing with more freedom then we're f*cked. I'd still keep Corky around though but would prefer Joey Allen. | | | |

Agree. Maybe take Leon off and bring Paloschi on. Nothing to lose. | |

And that completes it. Every single outfield has now been slagged off on this thread. | |

They'd be fine together if we had wingers out wide who could play all the football for us. Expecting Cork to create doesn't work. | | | |

This. Thanks Franco but I don't think you have that special ingredient for the PL. Good manager but doesn't fit the Swansea City template. | |

Clearly don't understand football and the roll he has in the team. A far better ball winner than Britton. That's his roll in the team, win the ball and give it to the players who can create something like Britton. | | | |

We're effectively expecting him to play holding midfield and right wing in this formation. | | | |

That's because this years main scapegoat Taylor's not playing, confused everyone and now in desperate bid find an alternative. | |

The Official Stoke City Versus Swansea City Match Thread on 15:55 - Apr 2 with 1900 views | londonlisa2001 | Rangel is playing like a drain - problem is I don't think we can 'waste' a sub on him. Britton is also playing very badly. Move Cork to defensive midfield, take Britton off and bring Montero on and go for it. Nothing to lose. After 20 minutes, swap Gomis for Paloschi and see if he can do anything. Or even bring Emnes on instead. Run at them for God's sake - we won't get anywhere with lofted balls into their box. | | | |

I don't think I'm going to read Guidolin and the word excitement in the same sentence for the next few weeks. Shapeless, unmotivated, no positive game plan. What happened to us? | |

The Official Stoke City Versus Swansea City Match Thread on 15:57 - Apr 2 with 1815 views | Griffting | Id like to see a change half time. Winger on for one of the mids. Emnes or Montero for probably britts. I would also like Rangel off for Taylor and put naughton back over to the right but that won't happen. The way ash is playing I'd be looking to haul him off as well. Don't need him out for Chelsea. Not a good sign when players are queuing up to be subbed. [Post edited 2 Apr 2016 16:00]

The Official Stoke City Versus Swansea City Match Thread on 15:58 - Apr 2 with 1789 views | marchamjack | we are now the most boring team in the PL surely Fer - exactly the sort of player I thought he was before he came to us and Norwich/QPR fans indeed told us he was...inconsistent at best, poor too often Gomis - dear God Cork - not really sure any more what he offers? I'll stop there as it's only ht and maybe we'll get better...here's hoping! | |
| Oh,..Dave, what's occuring? |

The Official Stoke City Versus Swansea City Match Thread on 15:59 - Apr 2 with 1748 views | Morganator100 | I can't believe that people on here are slating Gomis when our problem is the lack of service to the front line. We could have Augero or Neymar up front and they would be in the same boat. We've slated Taylor at left back but is Naughton doing any better there today? The left back is getting isolated because of a lack of cover. I can see why QPR/Norwich fans slated Fer as he is lazy, never tracks back. Rangel, this could (should) be his last season at this level. Williams and Fernandez are getting caught out of position but this is down to lack of midfield cover, Britton is getting over run in midfield. Cork is very average today. Siggy has been very quiet and Routledge has had several good runs but without the ball. There is a lack of width to our game and a lack of pace. If we manage to turn this around and win this game, we would unbelievably go 12th. | | | |

No it is because none of the players are playing particularly well in this formation. Routs is having to cover a lot of ground for little return. | | | |

I would definitely do the Britton (or Fer) for Montero at half time. I can see Ash taking an early bath if he's not very careful, so I'de be tempted to crook him too, waste of a sub or not. Paloschi should have started instead of Gomis, but I think we're stuck with it now in the hope that he'll do something...and with him you really never know. | |

The Official Stoke City Versus Swansea City Match Thread on 16:01 - Apr 2 with 1688 views | SgorioFruit | the ball gets passed to Gomis feet and he passes it to the opposition. when he sorts that issue out then people will stop getting on his back. end of conversation regarding Gomis | |
