Stoke is probably the toughest away game in the season, I certainly didn't expect us to go there and dominate the game, if anything I expected us to be under a bit ore pressure than we actually were.
Stoke were overly physical as usual, no surprise there. I thought we were pretty solid in defence bar a few lose passes, but coped well with everything that came at in the air.
Our midfield pressed and harried well, Milner and Henson worked hard, Coutinho showed glimpses of his class, the goal was awesome, Ibe showed how much we're not going to miss Sterling
I haven't read back, but anyone being overly critical about the performance today is being ridiculous, first game of the season, without firing on all cylinders yet, and we took 3 points, will Chelsea, City, Arsenal or the Scum do that? We'll see!
Happy as Santa getting blown at Christmas
