Typical physical play from Stoke. Hard to mitigate that when the ref lets all the chippy stuff go regardless of who is positioned where.
ashley, if you're going to shoot from that far out, keep your shoulders OVER the ball. leaning back as you take the hit is schoolboy stuff
wilkinson stamped on hazard's ankle there after he fouled him this guy's got red card written on him at this rate
And the Stoke fans cry cheat towards Hazard. Honestly, they deserve the style of football they see week in week out.
Clear pushing on Ba, and then Ivanovic. Love playing at Stoke: the land that time forgot. Still... 1-0
Have ZERO idea what Pulis could possibly be complaining about. I know he likes to 'influence' referees, but there's literally nothing for him to be upset about.
I'll put this out there too, as shaky as Luiz can be in midfield, Bertrand makes me 100x more nervous. Really seems to lack a footballing brain and there's no upside to having him play in the same side as Cole given Ashley doesn't surge forward with the same regularity he used to.
