Goal against ManU, goal and assist against Spurs. Goal and assist against Liverpool...oh wait, you said top teams.

I wouldn't call Liverpool a top team, especially considering their position in the table. But yeah, I guess you're right about ManU and Spurs.

Cazorla had an insane match. 5 shots, 4 shots on target, 6 key passes, 109 touches, 3 goals, 1 assist. 1 through ball, 2 interceptions, 1 tackle, 7 for 9 long balls. I know it's Reading, but still...a rare 10 rating on whoscored.com

10's are anything but rare on whoscored, I've seen it happen so often. But very impressive stats indeed, quality player. Spanish midfielders dominate world football.

I still find it bemusing that a lot still go on about what a great job Tony Pulis is doing at Stoke.

For the first couple of years he was working miracles but since then has had the 3rd highest net spend in the league, the fact he hasn't evolved that team is criminal.

I think a few of the Stoke fans notice it though and expect more but it's hard to argue considering where they are in the table. Also, whilst the media still labels them as 'mighty, fierce, Hard Working Stoke City!' then the perception of where Stoke should be given their spend won't be changed any time soon.

Hopefully Wigan get something against Arsenal and Stoke at Tottenham on Saturday whilst we rise to third in the league. Mind the gap Chelsea ;)

That is true, i just look at that team and most of the players are past their best or football journeyman, the only real "asset" they have is Begovic and to a lesser extent Shawcross.

I do think it's only a matter of time before that team horrifically stagnate.
