Stoke City striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Peter-Crouch-c29741, has set himself the target of helping his side finish inside the top-ten of the Premier League this season.
However, the English International underlined that the team’s home form will be crucial in fulfilling that aim, and wants them to secure maximum points out of their next two matches at the Britannia Stadium.
The Potters face two back-to-back intriguing home fixtures against Fulham and Newcastle United this month. After playing out a 1-1 draw with West Ham United last week, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tony-c35440 Pulis’ men find themselves in the fourteenth place in the league standings, having
mustered 13 points from their 12 matches.
What the Britannia outfit have to their advantage is the fact that they have already played their potentially tougher games against the top-flight teams of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429.
Nonetheless, the English International thinks that his side have got what it takes to finish in the top half of the table this term.
He lauded their performance at Upton Park at the weekend, insisting that they got a well deserved point and wants the team to emulate that performance on consistent basis.
“A point at West Ham is deserved but with two home matches we have to start pushing up the league now,” he told the reporters in an interview.
“We have got to look at our home matches now. Our home form has been keen to our success. I'm sure we will continue with that.”
“We should be looking at a top-10 finish. There's no reason why we can't achieve that and hopefully a good cup run. That's what we should be aiming for.”
Crouch has once again led the Potters charge upfront this campaign. He has already notched up 5 scalps in 13 appearances in all competitions.
Although Stoke have only suffered 3 defeats so far, Pulis will be concerned about the number of draws that his side have played. The Staffordshire-based outfit have just chalked out just 2 wins and had to settle for a stalemate on 7 occasions.
The Potters will square off against Fulham at home on Saturday.
