Seems Stoke have dropped delap against Man City.
Would have thought he could cause problems for Given.

Stoke 2:0 down.

I am watching on a foreighn stream, Given just made a save and I hear incomprehensible commentary apart from "yabbay yabba yabba reflex extraordinaire yabba yaba yabb"

Given made two great saves. Whelan had a decent if unspectacular game. Stephen Ireland played really well.

I'm annoyed that Pulis doesn't play Lawrence in the right. You can't replace Delap (who is no right winger, but at least provides a threat from throws) with Whitehead, who played very well covering for Salif Diao's general ineptitude, but provides little threat at all.
