Got to be a 10 considering the folk we'd got to pick a team from!

10
Maybe 11 considering we had a forum-wide groan when the team was released. Great job from everyone today.

Could in what way? Name me any game where ANY PL side has dominated from 1st whistle to last. I really don't know what people expect. Would just be nice to compete for 90 mins. Rather than shut up shop at 60 every game. Man United away the only exception. The rest you can set your watch by. So now you're saying we didn't compete. OK mate, I'll leave it there. You obviously believe we should be top 4.

It's good we've acquired the art of seeing games out better. It's coincided with the better run of results. Tactical necessity. I do think there's every chance that when we encounter the 'bigger' clubs, he'll loosen the screws a bit and we'll go at them. I do think there were a few who left everything on the pitch and some new faces, almost inevitable there'd be a fade.

We were content to sit it out, as we have done for most games. Game management it may be, but it invites pressure. One goal from Watford and suddenly the win is a draw.

We have no devine right to boss a game of premier league football for a full 90 minutes, whoever believes otherwise is deluded.

Was there..and by God he got it right for once!
Diouf was like a man possessed. Imbula had a good un. Muniesa take a bow...
9 from me!

9???????? 5 changes from last game, bare bones in defence and he masterminds a win at an in form team. Controlled the game - as professional as it gets. 10 all day every day. Spot on Pugs/Clyde 10+ Excellent

A bloody gutsy 10

10 for just the attacking intent alone, regardless of personnel.
A long time since I've seen a Stoke side go for the throat from the off and keep their foot on the pedal, either home or away.

So we keep pushing and get caught on the break. Cue the manager getting dogs abuse. The manager managed the team to a professional away victory with a side down to the bare bones in some areas. It's a ten from Len.

The only thing he got wrong was not bringing Shaq off for Sobhi.

If you think it's 10 then fine

Had we lost he would have been slated for not knowing what he was doing. Did he get lucky? Was it great management? I'm thrilled that his tactical nous was rewarded and we were so impressive. Of the 7 winnable games we talked about we have won 4, lost 1 drawn 1 with Burnley to go. I predicted 12 points and we are at 13 with one game to go. Terrific stuff

8 for me picked a good side and it did the job, personally I wouldn't have picked Jon Walters to start but he didn't do anything wrong, I would have subbed Shaq for Sobhi but other than that it was all good. Gouranga.

8. Ballsy starting XI that worked but sitting deep nearly cost us, and the sub (and lack of others) could have been better. Could in what way? Name me any game where ANY PL side has dominated from 1st whistle to last. I really don't know what people expect. Us vs ManC last year

10 considering all the enforced changes he did a fantastic job and got it spot on. We should have won more comfortably but that's down to the players missing chances not his management.
