While I am gutted for the result yesterday, the defensive display was very impressive against one of the best teams in Europe.
Will this (and I hope so) enhance Ryans chances of an England career?
Opinions please.

Not much chance while he plays for a club threatened with relegation

If we were one of the big four Hansen and Lawrenson would be creaming themselves over Shawcross and Faye.

He's a class player. I really hope we'll stay in th PL, and he can continue playing alongside Abdy, then he may play for England as a Stoke player.

He is an excellent player and will go on to play for the full England team.....
..BUT, he does still make silly mistakes and has a howler in him, which will happen less with time

When you consider his age he's got a great future in the game. As for playing for England don't you have to play for one of the top 4 for that or in Downings case be the teachers pet.

Abdy has took him under his wing and if he keeps on learning the way he is theres no doubt he will play for England!

One of our best buys I'd say. I just wonder how good De Laet will be when Ferguson let Shawcross leave, and then sign De Laet up.

I was really pleased to see him standing his ground yesterday not letting the pushing from Alex get to him. He is a star in the making

Sidders makes the right moral point about Shawcross standing his ground against alex but maybe Ryan should have gone down for at least x2 penalties - one in first half & one disgraceful barge out of the box in the second to leave cech with a ludicrous free catch. Bet Drogba / Ballack would have been rolling about with half the chelsea team on the ref. I would like to see shawcross & stoke appeal a lot more .... Shawcross did have another good game and pulis does know/coach a good centre half when he sees one. Would like to see Pulis point in the press / tv how some teams Man Utd / Chelsea seem to be able to defend the delap throws through barging stoke players out of the way so the keeper has a free catch yet we also seem to concede fouls when the same keeper just can't get past his own players ?

Deserves a try for England IMO. But he still needs more work yet, still slips up.

Shooters I think if you try and take on that stance about what refs do and don't for the "Big 4" then I think we will be waiting for a long long time. The ref on Saturday and the same at the Brit had an agenda whether it was personal or a directive it was there and it is not just Stoke fans who notice it. This was a warning sent to us as we went up. It is what we have seen already it is what most know. The FA talk about the respect campaign. Well I tell you what if the refs want respect grow some big hairy balls and send off the first mouthy twat that steps near him when they get a dodgy decision. Frank Lampard had I think 3 corners given on Saturday that were not corners in a million years and he only once had to challenge that decision as the ref just gave it to them. I think the Stoke and other teams have accepted this happens and that to me is a damn shame as it is a 12 - 11 adavantage that they don't need as they have supersior squad selection already. (Glad I got that off me chest)
