Sven-Goran Eriksson

You end up going home with nothing.

So I think deep down, when he analysed it, when the dust settles, I think if you were the manager of Stoke, would you be pleased with a point with that performance?

Yes.

Absolutely.

I think Diabate came onto the pitch and showed maybe he could be a starter.

He changed, he went to put Albright and Wright back, which obviously had an effect on the goal.

But Diabate was the one player I thought made a difference.

Damare Gray is a player that...

I do like, I think he's got fantastic potential.

Playing him in that number 10 didn't quite work today for the first sort of 60 minutes until they took him off.

But Diabate was the one player that he gave him an edge, didn't he, Sven?

Both you and I were talking about he had that pace and didn't look sharp when he was on the ball.

Listen, they've still got a lot to look forward to this year.

They've got the FA Cup to come, Chelsea here, and if you're looking at fixtures, when you want to play a team, it's normally after a big Champions League game.

I think they play on the 14th, they play Barcelona, and then they've got them on the 18th here.

So that works out pretty much in their favour.

You know, good fixtures coming up, like Bournemouth-West Brom, games where you think you can get something out of.

And that's the game.

That's the one, Chelsea.

I mean, they're used to winning things here now.
