What They're Saying
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes (via Sky Sports): "[Last week's 2-2 draw with West Ham] was a game we should have won comprehensively. We are scratching our heads wondering how we haven't got maximum points. In the end, we have taken a draw from a game we should have won easily."
"We were by far the superior team on the day," he added. "West Ham probably had two strikes on goal and scored twice. Credit to them for that, but we should have won that game comfortably by the manner of our performance and the chances we created."
