Chelsea Stoke Halftime Thoughts

- Ramires looks sharp and fast as usual though he seems afraid to take on the attacking responsibilities too much.

- Chelsea's set pieces definitely need to improve if they want to win the league. They don't seem to be able to cross it past the first Stoke player every freekick. Maybe they should let someone else take those.

- Stoke is pressing very high up everytime David Luiz gets the ball. Banking on him to make a mistake sometime? Could be a move that pays off eventually for Tony Pulis.

- Walters might want to play a bit higher up and wider. Ashley Cole goes much more central compared to Ivanovic on the other flank when attacking and Walters might profit by staying up wide and exploiting the big gap Cole leaves.

- Haven't seen Oscar before this game and though he only had a few touches, he seems the real deal whenever he got the ball.

- How did Chelsea dominate so much but Stoke had arguably the best chance of the match...

Oh. And Lee Probert got slid from behind in the Wigan match.
