There's no doubt that the better side won last night and that Stoke were superior in most aspects of the game. What I would say though, is that we are not the same side without O'Shea and Clarke. I understand that Ismael has his style and it has served us well in most matches but last night I felt that at half time we should have reverted to a back four as we looked suspect every time Stoke came forward. It's in his DNA to play a back three but sometimes, when things aren't going well, needs be, needs must!
