Has taken a lot of stick recently but I thought he was top draw today. Take into account he was playing against one of the best defenders in the league I thought he gave Fuller some great support and as usual was full of running. He dont deserve the stick because we know he's not a left winger but he always gives 100% and showed today when we need him he can do a job for us.. well done Cressie

Cressy was outstanding today. He won a few headers vs Vidic too which was surprising. He ran his knackers off and played well. Well done Cressy!

He's always been an honest trier and showed that again in his natural forward position. It was so disappointing though to see him try and take on Vidic when he had Pugh to one side and Fuller go the other. It was such a bad decision - he couldn't get past Championship defenders but tries against one of the best in the world with better options available. Other than that major blip, a good game for Cressers, though we still need to replace him as a matter of urgency.

Booked for nothing as well, yet O'Shea didn't even get spoken to for the "accidental" header from behind to knock him over.
Immense today, easily his best performance in a Stoke shirt IMHO.
Just shaded MOM for me, ahead of Ab Faye.

Against one of the best defenders in the world?
He was up against Evans for most of the match, with Vidic on Fuller! He did play well today, but we all know he ain't up to the premier league.

Did very well and always gives everything but we need better if we are to stay in this league.

I know, but for that one incident he was up against Vidic. Like I also said, we need to replace him as a matter of urgency.

He might have worked his socks off, but he simply is not good enough, and that showed today as it does in every game he plays in. he was playing striker...... however did he have a shot on target?????.....NO did he have an header on target????.....NO did he run past a defender all match (with the ball, that is)?????......NO did he ever threaten to score in this game????....NO did he create any chances, oh yes, one in the first minute, when he mishit the ball so badly the man utd defenders had no idea where the ball could have gone. the guy has to be worst player in the premiership by a country mile
also remind me, how many games have we won with him in the starting line up??????
if i was on 19k a week I would probably run my socks off as well.

He is not a Premier league player, but he was brilliant today, there was no one working harder on the pitch, put in a cracking shift.

He always puts the effort in , but as we saw today is much better playing up front than on the left, still not convinced he can be much more than a squad player at this level but certainly did a good job today

Credit where credits due. He was much better than usual today. Unfortunately, if Mr Pulis persists with him for the rest of the season, he will take us back down to the Championship.

from some who thinks Cresswell is crap he had a decent game today, he is still crap and looked it at times, but he did ok, 6 out of 10

Cresswell really stepped up today and that was a vindication for Tone persisting with him. But yes, the fact it was necessary does show the window can't open soon enough.

The much maligned Cresswel, Amdy faye and Pugh all deserve a special mentions today. I thought they were excellent, as were the whole lot of them.
