Don't want to mess the team about but would like to see Moses instead of Walters and Arnie on the left, ping a few early crosses in.

Moses would be more effective if he'd put the ball into the box sooner.They double up on him as soon as he gets the ball and crowd him out.
when you play a team as good as Citeh you don't get much time on the ball

This is why you don't slag off the team before a ball has been kicked.

Good half but I still fear we will concede one early in the second half.

We're doing alright, Moses fits us like a glove he'll make one of those wide positions his own this season. Indeed. Moses has been excellent, against Pompey it was all about his forward play but today he's shown how prepared he is to track back - his defensive play has been top drawer. Wouldn't we better just trying to sign the fooker now?

Good effort from the lads there. Not easy when the ref is bent as well. Gooaannnn Stoke.

Best half we've ever played at their ground, a point would be awesome.

I reckon Mason will come out in a Shitty shirt second half.

Good half of football there from us. Walters winning those flick-on headers which is linking with Crouch. But I dont see much happening between Crouch and Diouf. Prefer to put a 3rd player in midfield.

Quality first half. Everyone putting in a shift. Shame we didnt get the penalty but yaya toure looks distracted. He knew who he was playingtoday right?

I loved the battle between Nzonzi and Yaya Toure. Our Nzonzi refused to be shaken off the ball and gave Toure some of his own medicine. He really does the midffield battle well

Wingie for Walters. Any idea if tactical or injury?

And look at the options we can bring off the bench aswell! Strength in depth

Be interesting to see how we adapt.

Surely that could only be due to an injury, Walters has done a very effective job today.

It was clear after 45mins against Villa that we'd be an 'away team' this season.
Opponents will come to park the bus at The Brit but away from home we'll exploit the space against more expansive tactics.
Would love to see us keep a clean sheet today and, who knows, maybe nick one as Citeh throw more forward.
Long way to go and I don't trust Mason will do us any favours - Go on Stoke !!!

Yeah I think that forward 4 is about the best we have with Bojan to come on for Diouf last half hour.
