Well, we deserved nothing from that match. Stoke out-played us for the entire duration of the second half. The referee missed a Stoke goal that crossed the line. Tuncay missed a couple of sitters. Quite simply, we got lucky.
There were some positives though. First and foremost, a W is a W and we'll take the three points. Second, Bale and Lennon were both absolutely brilliant in the first half. Finally, some credit goes out to Jermaine Jenas. A surprisingly useful performance from him where he came up big defensively at the death.
Personal commitments have kept me from writing a full match review, but expect a very detailed one tomorrow.
