“It is really important now not to panic. Today we drew against a good team. It is always tough to play against Stoke, but I think the most important thing is to keep going, continuing to work hard.”
“Hopefully if United can continue to drop points that will be important for the title race. I think we have to work hard and continue being ourselves. It is difficult because of the pressure and away it is always more difficult.”
“Stoke are very hard and very strong on the break and I think we deserved to draw today because Stoke did play very well and cause us a lot of problems. I think the most important thing is that we keep winning and wait for Monday and see what United do.”
Kolo Toure: “It is always difficult to come to the Britannia. Every time u play against Stoke you know it will be a difficult game, particularly away. I think today we are a little disappointed with two points dropped but at the end of the day I think it is a good result.”
“This is a title race and it is very important. We will watch the United game on Monday and hope they don’t do very well. From now on we need to think of every game like a final. Today I think we played a good game.”
“Stoke played very well. They put us under pressure. The reaction was great. It was a fabulous strike from Yaya and now we are looking forward to the next game.”
