My comments as I came from the game was "I am absolutely chuffed at that result" BUT!! That does not mean that we have suddenly become world beaters. Man City were under strength, and we need to improve before we can consider ourselves a top ten team. We still need to score goals and my mate Jon Walters and Peter Crouch are not doing the business. I`m afraid it`s time they were keeping the bench warm.

Goals are a problem for everyone- not just Stoke City
STOKE City weren't alone in failing to hit the back of the net at the weekend.
Mark Hughes saw his side do just about everything except score in the 0-0 stalemate against Manchester City.
But goals have been hard to come by everywhere in the Premier League so far this term.
Latest figures show that after four fixtures for most Premier League clubs, the average goals-per-game is just 1.9.
That is way below the worst average ever recorded for an entire Premier League campaign... 2.45 in 2006/07.
The highest average of 2.81 came two seasons ago in 2011/12, while last season is joint second and only a fraction behind on 2.80.

“I suppose to make things look better, people often look at bad performances from others to justify their own. We have scored 3 goals in 4 games which is an average of .75, well below the 1.75 so far for the new season. Last season our average was .92 very, very much below the league average !
