After 30 minutes you could see Stoke were absolutely fucked, which is where our fitness work is coming in handy. Weird middle 20 minutes of the half, and credit to Stoke for giving it a crack, but they couldn't handle the shift up in gear, especially from Lallana, and the patience paid off.
I'd maybe unleash Sturridge for the second half, give Origi a solid rest ahead of the City match. Will be an interesting second half for sure.
