Stoke post match

[Hart&CitySoul]

Very Happy for that, looking good. Glad Stoke away is over.

Sergio is in very good form long may he be injury free.
Excited to see the team settle under pep and have all the players back, we will be bloody awesome.

Have a good day blues :)

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Pep has probably never come across a team like stoke before, but now he will know how to play better against them next time.

Some of the challenges from Stoke were disgusting and I have no doubt Hughes sent them out there to do that. Stamping on Silva's ankle, kicking Navas 5 foot in the air, 2 footed tackles going unpunished. Ridiculous.

I thought we played very well throughout, winning at a ground like stoke 4-1 is no mean achievement, and though we went of the pace a little in second half but didnt allow them any clear cut chances as such, and slow second half was mainly down to midweek exertions where it was the same 11 bar nolito, happy days indeed :)

Why was Sterling booed? Because he left mighty Liverpool and traded "history" for Champions League, Trophies, Titles and better team mates? If so, why do Stoke fans care?

Bought his mam her own house, instead of insisting she moved in with him and warmed his bed. Didn't go down well in stoke.

Kolarovs improvement is nothing short of phenomenal at the minute. Really happy for him.

Kolarov the cosmic centre back.... who knew?

Yeah I've been on his back for a while now (rightfully after that jog against the Saints), but this turnaround has been unbelievable. Really happy to see him play like he has over the last three games. Pep the magician!

I do think Dean gave it after missing the stone wall pen they should have had but Sterling gave him a valid excuse.

Silva did the same a few mins later as did Stoke.

Brilliant result!!

Nolito...what a find!

Underwhelming performance but three points is three points.

With all the debate about keepers playing the ball out from the back and their distribution, I was a bit perplexed by the way Willy kept hoofing the ball clear. Pep didn't seem at all concerned so perhaps this was part of his plan to overcome Stoke away. We still have Kompany, Gundogan, Sane etc to come back and possibly Nasri & Yaya dependent on what happens in this transfer window, hopefully after the international break everything will become a lot clearer.

Whatever, it was a forgettable performance but a memorable 4 goals scored away at Stoke and three valuable points which puts us at the top of the table, so we move on to the Steaua on Wednesday where we can hopefully confirm CL qualification.

6 in 3 games. If he keeps that up it'll be 100 for the season at that rate.

Don't be silly, he'll probably only be fit for 40-45 games a season.

85-90 goals is more realistic.
