There were 3 games during his tenure in which we conceded last minute goals' If memory serves me correctly, they were Burnley, Crystal Palace and West Ham, costing us 5 points altogether. We would have stayed up if we could have prevented 2 of those. Lack of fitness do you think?

When PL took over, his fitness team were quoted as saying that stoke were there unfittest team they had worked with in Football. Fitness wise we were always catching up. We were tired later on in games as the training had to be increased.

I personally can't hate him in the way some of you lot clearly do. He took an an absolutely poisonous dressing room that was shipping goals for fun and actually got them playing again. The fact is, we had utter dross up front. We had nothing. Then we had the madness of Charlie and Butland throwing games away for us. We didn't go down because of Paul Lambert. we also didnt stay up because of Shambert

Some of his genius moves to try and get us out of the mess included:
Bringing Glen Johnson back into the team. Bringing Darren Fletcher back into the team. Bringing a more unfit than ever Charlie Adam back into the team.
Football genius.
