Stoke City 0 Cardiff City 0: match report It is clear where Stoke's most significant problem is. Under Tony Pulis, they crossed too much. It became one-dimensional. Under Mark Hughes, they cross too little; the new manager seemingly desperate to rid the stigma that was attached to this team for so long, albeit one that helped cultivate relative success. Crouch was isolated and under-supplied. When a delivery did come his way in the second half, Ben Turner prevented him from progressing. Perhaps it should have been a penalty. Yet this scoreline was appropriate. Stoke City (4-2-3-1): Begovic; Cameron, Shawcross, Wilson, Pieters (Muniesa h-t); Nzonzi, Whelan (Ireland 65); Arnautovic; Adam, Assaidi; Crouch.
