Brave ,early substitutions.NZonzi had too much time on the ball 1st half.

 

2nd half we looked so much better in the middle. Cambiasso makes the game look easy,such good vision.

That was Leeds away last year. Proper smash and grab

[Danno]

Drinkwater and Cambiasso best partnership since Hitler and Goebbels

[ScouseFox]

also stoke crying about dominating the attempts and corners stats but not winning, are they giving back the points they won against city doing the exact same thing? or was that different? 

[Blanesta]

The stoke fans are taking it well

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Brilliant result

Well done City!!!!

First person on here to sell Hamer beards at the United match guarantees them selfs £1m minimum

There are soooo many good things about Leicester City at the moment. I am bursting with optimism for this season.

[Kitchandro]

First half was shite but we noticeably got better when Camby and Drinky got into the game. Start those two and Vardy instead of Nugent and we'll start playing some proper stuff.

 

Just like I said at half time, we needed some class in the middle, and we got it.

[SOCCERROO FOX]

Everything changed at half time.

Great result not going to be able to sleep for hours.

[Raw Dykes]

The sign of champions is winning when you're not playing well.

I've been so impressed with King and Hammond this season, but I think Drinkwater and Cambiasso will start the next match. I think we'll be able to control games a bit more when we get those two firing on all cylinders.

Bring on United.

[Sir Shep]

A small club like Stoke have done well to stay in the top flight for so long, should be grateful rather than this rather pathetic "we've been here for longer so we deserved to win" attitude! Having read Wankcake they do seem quite bitter, oh well.

[foxes_rule1978]

Stoke away is one of the hardest games, rarely do sides go away with three points, quality result

[GingerrrFox]

4-3-3 next week.

Kasper

RDL, Morgan, Moore, Konchesky

Drinkwater, James, Cambiasso

Mahrez, Ulloa, Vardy

First 3 points. ****ing come on!!!!!!!

[fuchsntf]

Oatcake what's the score oatcake oatcake what's the score!!!

A Nigel Pearson master class.

ostcake crumbles, Stoke couldnt pick up any crumbs, cracked in the final 3rd.

potters fail to sow their wild oats. Crouch couldnt stand up, but foxes bend over backwards for 3 points.

[Guest Col city fan]

One shot on goal was all it needed. Another awesome effort by our lads and Pearson has to be commended for the tactical shift.

Thats a BIG result. No apologies for the capitals.

[Tuna]

35 more points to go! Pity we are not playing Newcastle next!

 

Unbeleivable result today, well done lads!

Someone get on their forum and give them some abuse you heard what they are saying now- http://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/234673/lost-worse-side-home-prem

[Dr The Singh]

Played shit first half, better second, no way did we deserve to win though, but I would take shot performance 3 points over great performance and none

[orangecity23]

Oatcake is feking hillarious. Their tears are delicious.

[midland_red]

Not many of us thought we'd have 5 points after the first 4 games

I certainly didnt...and ulloa - a fantastic return on investment already.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Abject first half, luckily Stoke lacked any kind of discernable quality to make the most of our slackness. Cambiasso and Drinkwater made no end of difference and Nige got his changed absolutely spot on, both have to start against United (providing Cambiasso has enough in him), we played some promising stuff when the pair of them managed to get a foot hold in midfield, they both keep the ball so, so well. 

 

Aside from that; I thought Konchesky and De Laet were both superb, and after a wobbly opening few Hamer was terrific.First clean sheet of the season is huge, too - absolutely no reason why we can't get any change from United if we approach it the right way.

 

Smash and grab, what a victory.

 

Five points from four of the top 9, brilliant start.

 

I think based on the first half "smash and grab" would've been appropriate, but did they actually make all that much? Seemed to have a lot of the ball but mainly had a tonne of pot shots from range or crosses that never really looked to trouble us. Can't recall Hamer being forced into a save of any note.

Second half we certainly matched them and it could even be argued that we made the better chances, easily looked more threatening / purposeful when we did move forward by comparison to them who delivered pedestrian cross after cross to Crouch once they'd been stood up.

 

I think "smash and grab" is doing our second half performance a massive disservice.

[Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo]

Excellent result, Ulloa strikes again, Cambiasso fantastic, Hamer proved himself brilliantly, clean sheet, happy days!
