Stoke view

Well, that was pathetic.

Norwich started like a train, and dominated the first half. Just as I was saying "I think we've weathered the storm", they scored. They played exactly like we did under Pulis, at his best. Utilise the wingers, get a goal, then sit back and time waste. They werent great, but they were better than us, and deserved the three points for at least having a shot. Not of their players particularly shone though

We looked a little better with Pennant and Ireland on the pitch, but the game was lost when we sent on Crouch, he just cant do it anymore. Arnautovic looked bright, but hes a right petulant t**t, he'll get a few cards this season. Theres no need to play Wilson and NZonzi against teams like Norwich at home, we need someone else who can bring the ball forward.

Charlie Adam can f**k off. I dont know what so many of our fans see in him. In the 6 games this season, his goal against Palace is the only thing of note I can recall him doing

The ref was s**t, refused to give us anything all game. I dont know about the penalty appeals though, it looked Kenwyne made a meal of both of them.

Edit: Actually credit has to go to Norwich, they gave our midfield no space. We werent clever enough or quick enough to deal with it
