i know who the stoke defence would rather be up against and thats jo. largely a passenger in the fulham game, the odd short pass here and there but nothing damaging. got to start balo, the ref is there if stoke go over the top adn they can only be physical within the rules of the game. he's a big enough lad not to be intimidated and i'm sure the other players have been on to him about retaliation. i'd have ade if not balo.
