We looked to have lost what made us so hard to beat... heart,fight grit& determination. Have we overdone the fancy dans and underdone the workers?

Imbula also needs to do a little bit more on the ball.Simple things like releasing it early to people in space. When Imbula played his first Stoke game I was impressed how he held the ball up and stayed strong when the challenges came in and not get knocked off the ball but what has happened to him the past few weeks? Sent from my E6853 using proboards My thoughts precisely

I hope his slight decline is just him getting used to the English game, hopefully next season he's improved.

Have just seen MOTD and apart from a goalkeeping calamity for the second goal, the astonishing thing for me was the lead up to their first goal. Palace had the ball in their half of the pitch but there was no Stoke player in sight! We should have been harrying them, chasing them down, going after the ball, but no. Had the team been instructed at half-time to immediately just sit-back and let em come at us? Goals win games, not bricking it when one ahead.

I couldn't see the match and just got around to watching goals. Stoke's goal was a good team effort. The defending on both Palace goals was hideous.
