Stoke City Not Intimidated by Dosh
Manchester City spent £150million but still couldn't get it done on a cold, rainy night in Stoke.
The Potters stunned City, 2-0.
This lunch-bucket club may be short on money but not on heart. The mighty Sky Blues were reminded again that this is the essence of Premiership football.
Not even the giants can take trois points for granted.
Xherdan Shaqiri is a one-man army when he's in full throttle.
If Mesut Özil is Arsenal's assist maestro, then Shaqiri plays the same role for Stoke.
Finishing is a mere formality when Shaqiri passes the ball.
Now we know why Liverpool was frustrated when Shaqiri rejected their offer.
As for Manchester City, it's time to focus on their skills rather than their bank balance.
