To be fair that Stoke squad looks pretty handy to me. They've got some experience and goals in their attacking players, which is a concern with our defence. I'm looking forward to seeing how we do without Grealish. (though I'd still rather we had him in our side!)

How many of their players have played well in the last 18 months though? On paper it's a strong squad but they've looked poor every time I've seen them this year.

While we started well I feel when we have Whelan we automatically drop back into an overall deeper midfield position. Not totally unexpected but it’s why I’d rather we went with O’Hare today.

And Nyland remains a liability

That and Whelan as a replacement entirely changes the creativity in the midfield. We sit deeper and neither McGinn or Hourihane can pull players with them to create space for others.

We can't play with both Hourihane and Whelan. After a bright start from Stoke we've wrestled back control, but chances hard to come by.

Stoke really have killed the spectacle, which is no surprise.

First goal absolutely key. We must get it.

Stuck at home today due to illness.

Had a great stream via Reddit for about 10 minutes before it switched to the Blose match, typical. Haven't found another :(

I'd have been tempted to play Fugazi in the Grealish role today personally i think as he's got the same sort of talent.

Here's hoping we can kick it up a few gears in the second half.

Fucking rubbish.  Forget about promotion this season, the defence and keeper have given us way too much to do.  Fucking bollocks.

He was shit against the Baggies as well.

A Bruce-like performance today. Crap fullbacks, particularly Hutton, though Elmohamady with a bizarre attempt at a challenge looks to have fucked us.

Hourihane anonymous. Whelen pointless.

I think there’s more than minor surgery needed Dean. Meanwhile Blues have come back from 0-2 to 2-2 in about a minute

Bolasie really is such an unorthodox player, moments of genius but generally school playground.
