Taking Llorente off 18:01 - Apr 22 with 6758 views | Magic_Michu | One of the worst, most defensive decisions I have seen down the Liberty... especially when it could be goal difference it comes down too. 30 mins to go and we try and shut up shop. What was that all about!? If it wasn't for an atrocious penalty miss.... Clement would have been absolutely slated left right and centre. I hate defensive football... grow some balls and attack! | |

Taking Llorente off on 18:07 - Apr 22 with 4381 views | Magic_Michu | It was his defence minded attitude away to Hull and Bournemouth (looking not to lose, and losing) that means we're probably still f*cked | |

Taking Llorente off on 18:08 - Apr 22 with 4367 views | jasper_T | Llorente was shattered and Clement had to do something to adjust the system as Stoke were finding more and more space getting into our final third. Ki and Carroll had more freedom to push on once we went to the three at the back, which paid off. | | | |

Taking Llorente off on 18:13 - Apr 22 with 4306 views | Scotia | An appalling decision. If Bob had done that he'd have been slaughtered, we would be relegated if the penalty had gone in. PC would be to blame, as he is for us getting dragged back in to this position. | | | |
Taking Llorente off on 18:15 - Apr 22 with 4248 views | perchrockjack | Might have been tired but clearly tactical Baston was the obvious replacement as he d be more mobile Clement got lucky today, let's face it | |

Taking Llorente off on 18:19 - Apr 22 with 4205 views | jojaca | Mr Clement got away with that after the missed penalty. I can't remember a decision like this in our modern era which completely baffled and silenced the crowd. | |

Taking Llorente off on 18:21 - Apr 22 with 4173 views | Pacemaker | Llorente was knackered on 35 minutes, he had to come off, Borja when he came on showed he can run but adds nothing to the side. Today was the day he should have been showing us what he could do he didn't. If we had lost we could all have criticised Clement but we didn't so his decision was correct. | |

Taking Llorente off on 18:21 - Apr 22 with 4171 views | jack247 | Llorente had run his race and we only had Baston on the bench. He is a disaster up front on his own. The role he played when he came on in the 532 probably suits him better. As much as I can see the logic, I groaned when it happened and agree with the OP, Clement would have been slaughtered had that penalty gone in and we not won. Either way, Darran is right, we won today, it's about results not performances now. | | | |

It's not really irrelevant... because stay up or go down do we really want someone so negative in the way we play managing us? | |

We won today. I'm not going to educate you on why Baston doesn't suit us again. You never seem to understand why no manager picks him anyway. | | | |

It is irrelevant. If we had played like Brazil in the 70s and lost 5-4, we would have been near enough relegated today. Entertaining or not. Let's just worry about this season for now. | | | |

Taking Llorente off on 18:36 - Apr 22 with 3962 views | Landore_Jack | "I made the change based on the way he was feeling at half-time, but there is no injury,” he explained." “At that point I made a tactical change as well. I wanted an extra defender to help deal with the aerial threat of (Peter) Crouch and we wanted our wide defenders to press higher up the pitch because the formation we were playing was allowing Stoke space out wide.” | |
