"The one thing you know you are going to get from Stoke is a physical game. They really are a horrible side to play against, trying to push referees to the limits. But, under Hughes, they’ve added an extra. For such a big, strong, over physical side, they don’t half go down easily. We suffered from it at the bet365 Stadium earlier in the season, their antics leading to one of the goals, and they were at it again last night."


Spot on Tony. They're a very physical outfit and despite playing more football than under Pulis, bullish tactics appear to still be the order of the day.


Good read!

Good report. I agree it was a poor game but I think it is the best win so far this season.

Go down easily? I'll say. In the first half, Berahino went down and was too badly hurt to get up after his shirt had been pulled.
