Stoke City (4-3-3) Given; Bardsley, Shawcross, Wollscheid, Pieters; Imbula, Allen, Whelan; Bojan, Diouf, Arnautovic.
Substitutes: Haugaard, Muniesa, Adam, Walters, Cameron, Crouch, Ramadan.

Manchester City (4-1-2-3) Caballero; Zabaleta, Stones, Otamendi, Kolarov; Fernandinho; De Bruyne, Silva; Navas, Aguero, Sterling.
Substitutes: Hart, Fernando, Maffeo, Nolito, Delph, Clichy, Iheanacho.

I find it baffling that Sterling and Navas are getting games whilst Iheanacho is on the bench.

Get off his dick ffs.

Another pen

Four penalties in two matches *



*they were all pens, but still

Stoke were looking decent up until the pen too.

Aguero why is he still there ffs

Booing Sterling

I love it how stoke decide to turn up when the play united. Bastards, dont deserve to play in this league with a @#%&! of a performance like this

Stoke missing sitters

Diouf you bag of shite how did he miss?

That's a pen

Can't see how that wasn't given.

Mike Dean

£#%&!ing blue shite. All that money and probably wouldn't even make the top six without that sicknote @#%&! Aguero.

Smalling is £#%&!ed with the amount of pens he will give away isnt he?

Yep

At least he's consistent.

You really do have to give that if you give the first.

Say what you want about Dean, but he's not afraid to make big calls. I'll take over shithouse refs like Michael Oliver and that fat spaz with the curly hair.

The challenge isn't just the consitency of the decision-making, it's making sure they've all got the balls to decisions like that.

Did Mourinho say something about us marking set pieces zonal?

Think zonal marking has to be the safer option, don't mark players so less temptation to grab or focus on them and not the ball.

And sack Smalling now, nothing else for it.

The problem with this shit now is you will get players diving on corners, and with the ref trying to keep an eye on 10+ players , most of the time they will see the player falling and call it a pen
