Not sure about today. Reckon it'll be a draw and Stoke will have confidence from a good win at Watford. If we start like we did against Swansea and Everton and take our chances it should set up for a good game.

I think we will play defensive tomorrow. Still think we'll loose but football isn't always unpredictable. City could have a bad game or a player get sent of. You never know. They took penalties to beat wolves. The thing is we could do everything right and still loose

2-2 draw. Called a draw but in all honesty we should have beaten these. On top for most of the game and should have been about 4-1 up at one stage. There was a period in the first half we had about 3 clear cut chances and a brilliant save from Butland paved the way for their first equaliser.

think it's about time Fuchs was dropped. In no-mans land for the first goal and you don't give  Shaqiri that much time on the ball, at least not in the box anyway.

Would have preferred the win of course but considering Utd also got a draw there and some of Stoke's other results there too, it's not that bad.

No idea what to expect. We are out of form at the minute.

Bournemouth might be better going forward than anyone we've played in recent weeks.

Defoe will 100% score.

Joselu under pressure now, he needs a goal.

We are not very good going forward without Merino and he will miss this game :(

You've only lost one recently haven't you?

Where's @Teso dos Bichos

Surprised he isn't here laughing at LCFC's draw or predicting United to beat us and Mourinho to tactically outclass Conte. 

he can't because Utd got the same result earlier this season.

I would have Glenn Murray in the England squad.

The guys on Five Live said Crouch could be in line for a return cos Southgate was at our match as well xD

Imagine that. Crouch and Murray.

Third year on the bounce we've drawn it 2-2. Ridiculous.

Agree pretty much with every bit of that. We should've never given them a sniff in the first half. Butland had a fantastic game and for me was MOTM, although Mahrez should've done far better for that chance just after our first - lays that across to Vardy like last week and it's 0-2 and we probably go on to win.

But if you defend like that you don't deserve to win. Fuchs has been appalling all season. Simpson's going to be phased out for sure as he'll want a full-back who contributes more going forward, and to be honest the centre halves get away with it somewhat, I think even Maguire's been a bit iffy of late. Will need to see the goals back to know who is fully at fault but Crouch having such an easy header when 1-2 up is pathetic.

I think we fell apart when Iborra went off. He's the best midfielder we've had at controlling a game since Cambiasso.

Proper hate when commentators say 'his eyes were on the ball' as if no player has any kind of peripheral vision. Carroll knows exactly what he's doing when he tries to win headers and knows where the players he's challenging are.
