Organized, hard working, tough in the tackle, defensively sound, quick on the counter and a little bit of quality up top now and again.
We’ve missed you, and welcome back!

We lacked quality from Adam and Fletcher, but this was the most organized team I've seen in a year. Great job all around

A few more additions (CM, Striker, Bojan returning) and we'll look a right side.

Plus we may well have quietly discovered a gem in Bauer. While all the manager hoo-haa carried on, this fellow rolls in from Russia and has made a real difference.
At long last, a game that was sensible and free from hysteria!
Lets move on! Well done EVERYONE

What a difference it makes to have 2 FBs playing well.

I'd love Bojan back but cant see him getting in this side. Was very much 3 centre / defensive midfielders for me which made us much more solid. Can't see Bojan fitting into that or the front 3 |

I genuinely feel emotional after that. Very proud showing and togetherness from the club and fans.

Some great passes and has that creativity we need in midfield. I thought Fletcher was ok too! broke up a lot and did his job well. Nobody gets a bad rating from me today. |

Can't see Bojan fitting into that or the front 3 Get a solid CM in that's better than Adam and Fletcher, and we'll free up a 10 role. Bojan, Shaqiri and Diouf or another forward could do so much damage with their interplay, as today showed. Of course we spent 3 months hoofing it to Crouch. |

I just think he's seen our biggest weakness has been exposed fullbacks. He's covering that with 3 defensive midfielders. Two covering the full backs. One covering the centre halfs. Given how solid we were today I don't think he will change that for the rest of the season regardless of signings. |

Proper football at last. Diouf and Allen are the key.

Great result and something to build on. I’m not sure where all the Bojan hysteria is coming from, he’d be a passenger in games like this, let’s be realistic, we need fight passion and a bit of muscle, not some fancy dan who quite frankly is past it.

I never thought this time last week I'd be feeling so positive about Stoke City and the next few months. I certainly didn't think I'd be nursing a massive #Lamboner that's for sure. It's a funny old game!
