OK. There were several candidates tonight. I would have gone with Baker.

Exceptional performance today.
Our front 3 is looking very good, energetic, tricky and full of quality with great back ups too. Hopefully Campbell is ok.
Lewis Baker is our best signing for a while, Joe Allen looks completely transformed now next to him.
Tymon was good, and I thought Wilmot was good too considering he’s out of position.
Bursik back and didn’t have anything to do but clean sheet is a clean sheet. Absolutely buzzing with the performance tonight, if anything to criticise, it’s that it was only 3.

Hard to disagree. We were much more on the front foot than previous weeks and JPB was excellent. But how fucking tragic were Swansea? Can't recall watching a team at Stoke being as uninterested and just outright shit as that in many many years.

I have no idea but isn't that one hell of a drive to make to see your team be worn out, deflated, drab and get smoked? Wait, nevermind - If ANYONE understands that, it's STOKE fans!

"On the plus side we did have 59.5% possession…" That's bollocks, surely?

Really impressed with the performance last night. We played with much more pace and purpose and it showed in the result. Excellent, here's hoping we can push on for the top six.

Yes it is,we had 59% possession apparently If you'd asked me to guess after the game how much possession we'd had, I'd have estimated well above 60%. Did Swansea manage to hold on to the ball for more than more than three passes? Worst performance by any team I've witnessed this season, even when it was 11 vs 11; I was somewhat disappointed we only beat them by three.

Great performance last night the only disappointment was the gate and atmosphere.

Yes I thought we’d had well above that amount of possession which is very unusual against them because they’re renowned for their possession stats.I agree they were dreadful but I think it was more to do with the way we played from minute one

Having beaten Blackburn with 10 men, stoke did not allow them to play all credit to the "workhorses" in the side - Powell still off the pace and needed to come off - lots of his play and flicks came to nothing and upstaged by Baker - hope he takes that as a challenge and gets more involved. Need Campbell to stay fit and not one of his best nights, which bodes well for the team when such players can have off days

Got to feel for the bus load of Swans fans who turned out. Decent bunch, spent a few years living down there and got a lot of love for their passionate support and way of playing over the past 13 years or so. The 5 hour drive home wont have been pleasant but we've all been there! Not sure their owners are the right fit. Makes a nice change to see us winning 3-0 mind!

We got talking to a family outside who travel everywhere following them and they said they’d had a 5 hour journey up,the old lady and her husband/partner had not missed many games in 51 years apparently.They absolutely slaughtered their American owners who they said had no interest in the club whatsoever.
