Man of the Match!
Had Benteke in his back pocket the entire 90 minutes.
Our best player by a country mile, take a bow son.

We sold 2 of our best players, the next 3 best players are injured.
With a fit squad we would have beat these today.

Outstanding today. We didn't look the same when Muni went to LB though Wolf wasn't awful.

Excellent starting back 4 today. Cameron outstanding, Johnson solid and creative, Muni excellent. Pieters looked good until he went off.

No match day is complete without a polarizing geoff cameron thread on the oatcake. I thought he was good, Muniesa and the rest of the defence too.

he played very well, I was a bit worried before the match for the no presence of ryan but geoff and muni did a good job

Yep, good game from Geoff. Woolly seemed ok when he came on......few too many long balls from him though.

Yes central defence was totally solid all game we didn't miss shawcross today.
On the other hand our central midfield was awful at controlling the game and getting us on the front foot. I miss you already nzonzi

The defense as a whole was excellent.
Agree with most that our midfield was dreadful. Van Ginkel and Whelan did nothing. Adam was a mess, particularly in the first half.

Camron had a great game....Wolly almost cost us a goal. I do not trust Wolly.

Camron had a great game....Wolly almost cost us a goal. I do not trust Wolly. Cameron played well apart from a couple of times losing the ball in dangerous positions. How did Wolly nearly cost us a goal? Saved us after a Cameron error once, all defenders played well today.

Good play from Cameron, calm and was where he needed to be. Not our best player but important to the team. Good squad selection from MH.

I thought that he was very good, as we're Muniesa and Johnson. I think my man of the match would be Whelan or Muniesa.

Is that Sidwell? its like Deliverance

He looks much more comfortable in the middle of the pitch. I'd back him to do a better job than Sidwell at CM, too.
His versatility makes him an important part of the game-day 18.

All 5 who played in defence were sound today. Cameron and Muniesa played well together as the centre back pair and nullified any threat from Benteke. Johnson did some good work going forward. Wolly did ok and did nothing to justify the abuse he has been getting of late. Pieters was fine until he got injured. I think we'll cope till Ryan gets back in the side.

Muni was my man of the match followed by Geoff.
Thought both were excellent. The defence were not at all to blame for the goal.

I didn't expect much from us today as we've been awful in many of the friendlies! I think we did quite well and really were the team who had deserved the points the most before Cautinho's wonderstrike. Especially as we have all those injuries now and in addition to this Shaqiri was in the stands which must be a good sign too! Think we were much better today than last year when we were outplayed by Villa in our first game. Think we'll have a good season!

I had Whelan over him as motm in the end, just because of a few shit passes that got us in trouble, over all played well.

Man of the match and as always a great player for Stoke oh yes some one above said gave the ball away but Adam and VW gave the ball away more than anyone today.
Geoff is and as always been a solid performer for us!
