Fine, but they've only lost 2 league games at home this season. And they've had good results about other top sides.
Those facts are not irrelevant. Yes, every game is an individual occasion but form isn't irrelevant to it.

They lost to Liverpool and Norwich, right?
Think so.
Obviously you can't just cherry pick results and draw a conclusion but if there is a pattern of good results and a good overall home record then I don't think that can be dismissed as irrelevant.
Stoke's results in 2014:
Man City 1-0 Stoke
Stoke 1-1 Swansea
Southampton 2-2 Stoke
Stoke 2-1 Man Utd
Sunderland 1-0 Stoke
Chelsea 1-0 Stoke
Crystal Palace 1-0 Stoke
Stoke 3-5 Liverpool
Stoke 2-1 Leicester
Stoke 1-1 Everton
That's 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats in 10 games, granted 2 wins and 2 draws came at home (though 1 win was against Leicester and the other against Man U), not exactly sh*t hot form, we should beat them IMO.

They are the sort of mediocrity we should and need to sweep aside if we still want to ostensibly be challenging for the title....
We're up against the tiki-taka masters.
Luckily we've already had our now-annual home defeat to Bayern in the CL, so I can only assume that the rest of this season will play out exactly like the rest of last season...
Their misery is , despite their good home record , we are so deadly against average teams like them , home and away .Quote:
