Stoke results against the top teams last season at home.
Beat Arsenal. Beaten by Chelsea. Beat Liverpool. Drew vs United. Beaten by City Beat Spurs. The performance was hardly vintage but I think some on here are underestimating how good the final result was |

i thought utd were p1ss poor yesterday for most of that game and arsenal have lost at home to west ham today.
the top 4 aren't nailed on but we need to put the so called lesser teams to the sword, early fcuk ups against too many of these last season killed it for us. |

yes wasnt sure when we bought him
but more than happy for him to win me over |

laters all. |

I think the performances are almost completely irrelevant for the first few games Texas. All about the points. And to get points at one of the toughest grounds in the league is just an added bonus.

Couldn't believe how big Gomez is. He was basically a slightly stockier Benteke. He could make some CB.

yes love when i see a young player come through
he was due to go out om loan but when BR saw him there was no way |

His sacking seems inevitable imo
Getting rid of his coaches was a half arsed compromise . They wouldn't have done it if they had faith in him , but weren't ready to actually fire him too. I'd say he is about the stage Roy Evans was at start of 1998/99 season. |

It's funny how people can see things so differently IMO. This summer said the exact opposite to me.

ccm as an aside to this,how do you view the appointment of hendo as captain.I like him as a player,great attitude,but imo he is a bit young and not exactly a leader well not yet anyway,just my opinion.

Good to revert back to 13/14 where every team we beat was awful.
And then there are the over-reactions to a performance. I thought we played ok. If the game was to be decided on points I'd say Stoke edged it but we defended well and had a true match winner in our line up. The substitution of Can for Lallana was crucial in swinging the match in our favour. Not that the manager will get any credit for that from some. I think I'd like to us try a more typical 4-3-3 next week. Can as the pivot with Milner and Henderson ahead in the channels, then Coutinho and Firmino supporting Benteke. Could be a bit narrow, but we have attacking full backs who can offer that (Moreno might me worth a game here) and there should be enough. Already frightening to think who would miss out when Sturridge comes back. |

Getting points on the board is what's important at the start of the season. Winning 3 points & keeping a clean sheet away to Stoke is something the expected title challengers would be delighted at, so no reason for us not to be happy too. Seem to remember us winning our first 3 league games 1-0 the season before last. We didn't play that well in any of those games but the performances grew as the season progressed. I'll be very satisfied with another 1-0 victory next Monday night.
