POYA ASBAGHI POST-STOKE CITY Interviews Poya Asbaghi admitted the result felt like a loss in the wake of our 1-1 draw with Stoke City on Tuesday evening. Continue reading on the official site...
We were second best for many parts of the game and had Stoke taken their chances we would have lost the game. Cole is crap but our options off the bench were limited.
“From there, after the lead, we started to defend the lead in a good way…” If for nothing else he should be sacked for that comment. If he actually believes that then things are even worse than we thought. The way he speaks too. He’s an absolute life drain. He can hardly be inspiring the young lads to go out and bust a gut.
I think we actually did look as though we could hold on to the lead. Stoke were well-organised but were not really offering much. Then he made 2 substitutions, one inexplicable, that gave them a chance to attack at will. The two lost points last night are purely down to the manager.
"They scored a goal where we had 10 players behind the ball and they were still allowed to score a goal." Don't you think Poya, as this keeps happening, that maybe that tactic isn't the way to go? It very nearly failed against Middlesbrough when we were 3 up.
When we behind and need a goal he brings on Moon , When we defending a slim or even three goal lead he brings Cole on who has no interest in defending .
