Stoke City now sits in the Championship relegation zone following their 2-1 loss to Cardiff. After the game, Steven Schumacher addressed the media as he got ready for the club’s last twelve games.
Schumacher: The decision is consistent with what I’ve said time and time again: the team that is more likely in control of the game, has more corners and attempts on goal, and has produced more clear-cut opportunities than the opposition.
However, we lost as a result of being penalized for two mistakes and not finishing with precision, so this is essentially an evaluation of what we have been saying for a few months now.
Schumacher: Accurate. We discussed how Cardiff leads the league in set plays and shouldn’t be taken advantage of. We gave them the opening corner of the game after losing the ball too cheaply in midfield, and we failed to respond. There were no initial contacts made. It’s actually offside, in my opinion. By getting in the path, he prevents Daniel from getting it and Luke Cundle from clearing it. In any case, we failed to adequately protect it, and that was our mistake.
