Right now aside from the 10 minutes before we scored, I am struggling to find anything.

Stoke City came from behind to set up a fifth round FA cup replay with Manchester City this afternoon, earning a 1-1 with the Citizens at the City of Manchester Stadium.
Speaking after the match, City manager Roberto Mancini said he was enjoying the FA cup experience.
“This is FA cup, it's good for this,” he told ITV Sport. “We played very well in the first half, second half we also did well but with one throw-in for them they draw the game.
"This is football, but now we must prepare these two games – Tuesday in the Premier League and the replay.”
Mancini is expecting a very different game in the replay.
“I know that Stoke away will be a different game because the pitch is small, the stadium is different,” he said.
“But if we want to go to the next round and we want to win Tuesday we must prepare to battle, fight, but tonight we played very well.”
Fabio Capello was in attendance, and Mancini said he was pleased with the performance of his English defenders but emphasised that there was still room for improvement.
“I think that Wayne [Bridge], [Joleon] Lescott must improve because they need other games but tonight they played very well.”
