Ziptee pegAthleticoSpizz Yes, but not today
Beg to differ.Better than Swift tho.......
Gunts was fine today. Stoke targeted our left flank in the first half and it meant that Gunter was outnumbered with Swift and GMac not backing him up. . He also drifted infield leaving the flank exposed but that would have been because he was playing under instruction. He did get caught upfield fairly early on when Stoke counter attacked but by and large he did enough defensively.
He didn’t do enough going forward. He won a corner in the first half but in the second put in a poor cross which went straight into the hands of the keeper. Overall though he was solid.

Must have a really big cheek, i reckon. Gunts was fine today and then you critique his failures........he wasn't fine he was merely adequate and slows down any attacking impetus we ever generate and thats pretty rare. not sure we have many others options until players are off the ever expanding injury list but nobody should be satisfied with his performance - his has been indoctrinated by the Stam style and with now young and quick players coming into the team (thanks god), needs to go as soon as possible

Good to have such an in-depth analysis mate.

3points I was impressed with Loader’s first touch. Found some good areas today. Would be happy to see him alongside Meite next Saturday.
I think Bacuna and Rinomhota have enough energy and quality to play as a 2 in midfield, allowing the second striker. Would be the,Pete to play both with Ezra when he’s fit.
Felt very sorry for Gunter today. Received no protection at all. Blackett didn’t do much wrong though looked to be caught out for their first.
Overall I enjoyed that and am warming to this team and Clement

Hound Tbf either Bod or Méïté are a big part of our game and neither were fit
Once Bod, Baldock and Meite are all fully fit with have a lot more threat
Missing some seriously important players and getting a draw against a side of Stoke’s quality is a reasonable result really

I critiqued his failures going forward. Apart from being caught upfield once in the first half he was fine defensively.

Wasn't to blame for the goals (although to be fair i missed their second, as beer was more important) but i want fullbacks to defend in a full blooded way, tackle (gunts rarely does this) and then charge forward. He did put a brilliant cross into the box today which no-one was there to convert but it was nevertheless done. my problem is he slows everything down far too much and disrupts the way i think Clement wants to play. we are not good enough to sit deep and play out as Bacuna also showed today on many occasions. we need to be absorb pressure and break quickly team - look at the difference when Meite came on and if we can replicate this type of approach with Loader (who on first impressions looks decent) together with the pace of Rinomhota we could surprise quite a few i think

These players plus Ezatolahi back and we'll be fine. When you think how many first choice players were out today, it was a decent showing of grit and determination to claw back that point.
A lot of those on the pitch today are squad players, not first choices.
Those short corners are woeful though, please get rid.

Zip Got to say Ian that’s an excellent in-depth analysis. Have you been on the sauce?
