This old chestnut. Stoke fans are, by and large, like all fans. Some fans love flair. Some fans love grit. Most fans love a bit of both and a team that wins. They definitely come across to me as being more on the side of the grit as you describe it. Why does perception have to be an old chestnut? Are people only allowed to perceive things as you do. Did I say people aren’t allowed their opinions? I’m expressing mine like you expressed yours. That ok?

Most opinions about football centre around personal taste.

Was it Clarkey the other week on comms, saying Laurent was in wrong position and needed to be a DM? Seemed mad at the time, and after last night..

Pulling out of 50/50s and looking weak and disinterested isn't anything to do with anyone else though is it, he's been pretty poor this season, he either needs to sort himself out or get comfy on the bench. Judging by his contribution last night he seems to have taken your advice and be sorting himself out. Hopefully but it's going to take more than one game against a weakened relegation side to convince me that he deserves to be starting. It's annoying because I was all for him being first choice this season but he just hasn't looked arsed at all.

Laurent can do it; to get out of this league we will have to show consistent form; if a player can’t do that then he shouldn’t expect to be in the side. Laurent has the ability- it’s up to him to show he has the desire.

I do think there’s a player there though. And judging from early evidence playing in a midfield with Burger should relieve lots of pressure and maybe allow him to play with a bit more confidence and energy.
