Bojan Krkic (Stoke City)
Aston Villa’s 1-0 opening day victory away at Stoke City certainly came as a surprise, with the Potters struggling to sustain any threat on the visitors’ goal throughout the match at the Britannia Stadium. Former Barcelona forward Bojan Krkic was Stoke’s big signing this summer, and he impressed in pre-season, but the Spaniard was extremely quiet against Villa and never really did enough to trouble Ron Vlaar and Philippe Senderos.
