We had decent chances to put the game to bed, and make the outcome more comfortable, Lukaku needs to start finding his shooting boots.

aye they've been missing for a while now. Hopefully it's a case of getting his match sharpness back.

Could still do with adding some serious competition up top though

Good win against a very organised Stoke side who will surprise a few teams this season.
We have to be happy with that. COYB

So was anybody disappointed with Barkley today? I thought he seemed to get caught out thinking too much about what he should do next. Some of his final passes were pretty bad. I want Ross to be that creative spark we need but despite my initial protection of him before the season began I'll be honest I'm doubting he has it in him. Mata would be nice.

Garth Crooks on Final Score, what a disaster of a human being he is.

 

[dholliday]

can't ask for more than a clean sheet home win, and 7 pts from 9 is refreshingly good!

Dare we feel optimistic? Still need to bulk up our squad with one or two quality lads but looking pretty nice so far

Great team performance today ..... Tough choice for MOM ....think Gueye shades it but Stek / Holgate / Jags / Baines / Barkley / Mirralas ( 1st half ) all very solid today !
Fantastic results to start the year.....performances will improve as fitness / cohesiveness develop.

 

[banno]

Think they have deleted them so we cannot troll the idiots who slagged of every player in the 1st half because we were not winning.

Gueye for me, Williams also good. Mirallas and Barkley did well, too.

Poised, we'll qualify for the world cup at this rate.

 

[Eggs]

3 games unbeaten against sides that would have caused us problems last season.

7 points from 9 and currently 2nd in the table.

Very happy with that!

...it's progress but we still need to be a threat, we still need to create.

He just needs to regain his composure. FFS we are 3 games. Hopefully he will slot for Belgium.

 

[Bungle]

What is he saying?

He's not even talking about us, just in general he waffles on about nonsense, interupts people and then takes about 20 minutes to get his words out.

He played well but it didn't end up in anything today. But the last two games it did. 2 out of three is great and he wasn't anonymous today either which is good to see. He facilitated despite not creating the end product.

...went for Williams, I suspect he might be player of the season.

Nah the bookies have already stopped taking bets for Gana.
