Stoke City midfielder, Charlie Adam, praised his side’s performance in their 1-1 draw against West Ham United last week and thinks that they can push for an unprecedented top-half finish this term.
The Potters put up an impressive show at Upton Park on Monday, claiming the lead through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonathan-c18993 Walters in the openings stages. However, a Joey O’Brien equalizer just after the restart forced them to share the honours.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tony-c35440 Pulis’ men now occupy the 14 slot in the table, having collected 13 points from their 12 matches. During this period, they have chalked out 2 wins and 7 draws and ended up on losing side on 3 occasions.
Although the team might not have mustered as many wins as they wanted, they will nevertheless be satisfied with what have transpired for them so far. Earlier, they also played impressive draws against Manchester City, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, and also gave

Anyhow, Adam lauded the performance of his side on Monday, insisting that they could easily have gone on to claim all three points had they made the most of their opportunities.
He believed that it was their best showing so far this season, and wants them to replicate it more often in order to finish inside the top half of the table.
“It was arguably the best we have performed all season,” he told the reporters in an interview.
“When you have players like Kevin Nolan and Andy Carroll in the side then they are always going to be a danger and they pushed us back during the second half. I think we deserved the point we got though. “
“We aren’t too far off picking up a string of good results, and I am certain that if we keep doing what we have been then we will be where we want to become the end of the season.”
Stoke have never managed to finish inside the top ten in Premier League’s history. The team are often criticized for their extra defensive approach. They boast one of the best rearguards in the competition.
