Think we deserved the point against a tough and sometimes cynical Stoke team.
Injuries decimated the midfield with Barton and Mutch going off and Sandro injured,Barton is vital to this team and hopefully will not be out for too long.
Teams ratings
Green 5 Stays rooted on his line and is then beaten by a header from 6 yards.
Isla 3 shocking performance,run ragged,stands off to much and his confidence was shot.
Traore 5 Terrible first half better in the second.
Caulker 5 Disappointed with him so far but today had to defend by himself.
Ferdinand 4 Slaughtered in a 5o yard race by Crouch,not sure he would beat Dunne.
Barton 7 Looked good and pulling all the strings until injured.
Mutch Shaky start but improved as the match went on.
Fer 7 Strong powerful player who scares defences,however can sometimes lose possesion to easily.
Niko 9 MOTM by a mile,rounded it of with a sublime goal.
Vargas 5 Started brightly, faded badly
Austin 5 Never gives up but is always looking for a second touch.
Subs Phillips 5 Shooting is woeful,crosses sometimes good.
Henry 7 Fair play to him,came on and did the simple things well.
Zamora 5 Not really involved.
Harry needs to sort out the defence and letting Simpson go and the new left back from Liverpool out on loan for a year nows looks like 2 bad moves,Robinson had played 12 times for Liverpool so was not a complete novice.
Still a long season ahead but the usual lack of striking options is a joke.
