That defeat puts Stoke into the bottom three, and yet for the last half hour we put everyone behind the ball, as if we were clinging on against Real Madrid.

The substitutions were bizarre. It seems he has to find a position somehow for Wintle. I’m just amazed we did hold on. Fair play to them our two centre backs were immense.

I thought Bulut was going for an even more defensive set up when all the stewards were told to come pitch side. I had visions of us playing a back 200.
