Pelle, I agree with your positives taken from the game however:
Stoke were there for the taking because they were so poor going forward. Their previous form is irrelevant as on this day they couldn't reproduce it and we should have punished them.
Seeing as it was there for the taking (even by both teams yes) McShitey should have made a positive substitution to go on to win it. IF he wanted to win it. But he didn't want to risk his precious 0-0.
I would have loved to have seen Bannan or Ireland come on for Petrov or Clark and tried to push for three points in the last 10/15 minutes at the risk of losing.. That's what good confident managers do. Like Wenger when he brought on Arshavin and Benayoun for Ramsey and Gervinho in the last ten minutes against us and ended up winning by upping the pressure at the end of the game.
I just remember watching that awful dogshit game on Monday night thinking McShitey will NEVER sub either of our centre mids for attacking ones even though one had been blowing out of his arse for the last 30 minutes and the other wasn't fully match fit.
Unbelievable.
