Whether you'd swap ours for theirs is irrelevant here. The question is who is better? I say Shawcoss is better than any CD we have not named Kompany, and Nzonzi is better than any CM we have not named Yaya.Dribble said:On the day even I could be better than Messi, but I'm assessing their talent over a period of time not just on one game.deliasmith said:how many of Stoke's squad would have made it into yesterday's team?
None!
Begovich, Huth, Shawcross, N'Zonzi, Pieters - all better than the guys doing the same job in the Man City side
I suppose if you take Garcia into account you may have a point and as pointed out just becuase we paid over the odds for Lescott, Kolorov, Garcia doesn't make them better players, but without getting into semantics and Garcia apart, I still wouldn't swap any of their lot for ours.
We played well below the standard we expected and I don't buy into the excuse that it's because we're missing a couple of players due to injury. Also I must have missed the stampede of clubs beating a path to Stoke's door for N'Zonzi, Huth and Shawcross.

It's all about opinions and with all due respect, I think call at Specsavers should be next priority. Like I said previously I'm failing to recall a stampede to Stoke's door for any of your faves that you mention. Also it's still fresh in my memory that these were the same players who played in a turgid Stoke side last season.daxman said:Whether you'd swap ours for theirs is irrelevant here.

They're decent Premiership players, but to say that they are what we should be looking at to get us where we want to be is a bit far fetched IMHO. Just because Garcia, Kolorov and Lescott aren't what we need, why would we consider replacing them with players who on their day might match up to ours but in general are of a lower standard?

When all is said and done....we were better than you yeasterday, we deserved to win, and it was only a result of our woeful finishing which meant we only came away with a point.
You can say what you want about Stoke but our "thugs" sould never ever ever ever ever dare to attempt to make you look average.......
....but we did!
How you all doing by the way :)

They did.
But I can say with 100% certainty that Stoke City will have another average season at best.
You may have won the war yesterday, but once again City will win the battle, come May.
Enjoy your draw, clean sheet, and point. :-)
