Yes and possibly Phil for SWP who may not be up to the task after that red card incident.bluwes said:Move Zabaleta back to right back and bring Elano on in his place. Bring off Richards, his defending and his passing have been woeful in that first half

Original team selection was fine.
Elano passed well when he came on; indeed the overall passing accuracy of the team was good but tempo of passing and movement was not high enough and made it too easy for Stoke to sit and keep their shape. shooting and crossing were poor; City needed to get the ball in the box more often and increase the odds on a defensive error or lucky break. I'd have brought Jo on at some point to give a real aerial option.
Biggest problem though was conceding a bad goal at a bad time. Stoke should never have been given the opportunity to cross the ball but marking was sloppy and the team didn't push out quickly enough.
