Remember when Stoke were difficult to beat, rather than a team that gave your shins a kicking on the way to beating them anyway?
The result was most important today, but Pochettino must take full blame for the nature of the PL home performances this season. IMMEDIATE reading of the riot act to the squad is required.
Not good, a win but still not good. I was hoping that this was the match to end our bad form at Wembley but to struggle like that against the second bottom team says a lot. I thought after Huddersfield after we stopped scoring in the 23rd minute that something's wrong and I fear it will be shown up quite soon at Wembley. Heaven knows what happened to Chelsea.
