MagicMerson Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 LOL, Aston Villa, the new Stoke, yeah right! We were playing hoofball long before Stoke invaded the Premier League..

The_Rev Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 And of course, you will notice that the two teams in that gif are Aston Villa and Stoke, so the original point MUST be true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Ridiclous, some of the football we've played since lambert came has been great, theres been times that weve been a tad hoofy but on the whole we play well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drat01 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 To be like Stoke, we need somebody to take very long throws. They used to have somebody who did it, but I can't for the life of me remember his name. Fattima Whitbread? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Type 1 Hoof has very limited technique Type 2 Hoof has unspecified target Type 3 Hoof is a long ball to the target man MON = Type 2 hoof down channels AML = Type 1 hoof from Collins/Dunne PL = Type 3 hoof to Benteke. Type 3 hoof is the classiest type of long ball game, with the most skill involved, often simply referred to as "direct." Man Utd play type 3 hoof often. However, we have been more than a long ball team under PL. Benteke is also good with his feet. A lot of our goals are counter-attacks, on the ground at pace. I'd characterise the team as direct and counter-attacking. Perhaps this year we will display more of the passing game we have seen in the first few games this year.

Risso Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Just change the name of the site to Stoketalk and have done. Coming up, Off Topic discussions about oatcakes, toilets, scintillating arguments about whether Burslem or Hanley is better, and the fact that Slash is from there.

dukes Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Any better evidence apart from a goal against Rotheram? Why are all our strikers big and tall? Worrying direction is it not? Are you for real ? If we signed Christiano Ronaldo would you be complaining that at 1.86m he was too tall ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pez1974 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 No. No. And no. Personally I like that we are buying bigger players - we need a bit more muscle. However, if you look at Benteke's goals, an awful lot are the result of play between the front 3, particularly on the counter attack. All teams will hoof from time to time, and we have that option. But it is not option #1 - that is based around pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArteSuave Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Deary me. Yes we are the new stoke.Okore is the new Shawcross, Benteke is the new Crouch, Lowton is the new Shotton, Gabby is the new Jerome. I can't believe nobody spotted it earlier.With gigantic lumbering bruisers like Westwood, Delph and KEA packing the midfield we've basically abandoned any notion of passing or dribbling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
