How did Stoke take the lead against Leicester?
Stoke took the lead against Leicester thanks to Zerdan Shaqiri scoring in three successive games, but it was a goalkeeping error from Jack Butland that led to Leicester's equaliser.
What were the crucial moments in the match's final minutes?
Butland, though, may well have kept Stoke to just a point in this game with a number of crucial saves towards the end of the match as Stoke hung on. Zerdan Shaqiri and Joe Allen are with Patrick Davison.
What do players Joe Allen and Zerdan Shaqiri say about their performance?
Guys, well played, Joe, plenty of encouragement in that performance, but stood here right now, is it hard not to feel disappointed?
Yeah, of course, we're at that stage where we're looking to get three points in every game we go into, so to go up and not come away with the threes, naturally disappointed, but like you said, there are encouraging signs and we've got to use that now, between now and the end of the season.
Zerdan, it's another big performance from you, another big contribution to the team, what's behind your form at the moment?
No, I think the behind is my team. I think we play always as a team and we've been always good as a team. We go in every game and our performance is not for one player, it's for all players. Today, also the first half, we played very well.
How did Jack Butland's performance impact the game?
We went in front and I was disappointed in the end that we didn't take the points because we needed that at the moment. I think we can be proud with the performance and I think when we keep going like this then the three points are going to come soon.
And do you enjoy that pressure of being the guy who has to get the goals?
I think no, I try every day to work in training with my teammates and of course I feel good this season and I'm fit and I think in the end we have to stay in the Premier League and that's the most important thing not with how is my performance or Joe's performance and of course we need good performances to take three points but in the end we need to stay in the Premier League and that's the most important thing at the moment.
Joe, when you walked into the room, I think you described that last 15 minutes or so as carnage. But before that, before they got level, did you actually feel quite comfortable in the game?
Yeah, exactly. That's what goals, that's what they do, especially to a home team. I think up to the goal, they had pot shots and obviously had corners, crosses coming in, but we dealt with everything pretty comfortably. And if anything, they were frustrated.
What does Sven-Goran Eriksson think about Stoke's potential?
The crowd got a little bit edgy and it was there really for us for the taking. Unfortunately the goal obviously gave them a big lift and in all honesty it completely flipped on its head. The last 15 minutes they certainly parled the pressure on it. It was about getting through it then probably. On the break a couple of openings didn't quite happen.
How did Leicester respond to Stoke's equalizer?
In the end, it's not a bad point to come here away for a moment and take it.
In strange circumstances, do you feel like as a team you're not getting what you deserve at the moment? Obviously, you had the penalty incident a couple of weeks ago, and then Jack Butland catches that 99 times out of 100, doesn't he?
Oh, yeah. He pulls off a great save straight after it, so he cancels that out straight away. It's football that happens. We're not going to feel sorry for ourselves and make excuses, I think. 38 games at the end of the season and from our point of view it's about getting the points we need and get ourselves out of trouble hopefully with a few games to spare.
You're starting to look more solid, you're starting to look like a better side away from home. Is that what the new manager has given you?
Yeah, we've worked hard day in, day out to improve all aspects, but certainly defensively that's been our Achilles heel as a team, I suppose, this season. Yeah, definitely improved. So, as I said earlier, the signs from our general play is encouraging. We've got to make sure that we get those points, so that's what it's all about. Well played today.
What challenges does England face heading into the World Cup?
Thank you.
Joe Allen and Zedin Shaqiri disappointed with just a point from that game in the end. Can you understand why, Sven?
Yes, I can understand why.
