It's been rubbish because as soon as the opposition turns it up, the midfield becomes non-existent. 😐
In what way? As in they don't press?
Perhaps I'm looking at it too simplistically but Stoke failed to create anything that was even remotely half a chance through the midfield. I can't remember an occasion where they got any joy at all in that area.
The only area where I thought we didn't do well defensively is pressing further up the pitch which Cazorla, Podolski, Giroud and Gervinho were responsible for.
