Everton boss David Moyes insists Stoke City can be proud of the way they play.
Before yesterday's 1-1 draw, Moyes said: "Some people get excited watching the way Barcelona play, but there's great excitement when Stoke are throwing it into the box. Everyone has their own ways.
"It comes down to resources, too. We'd all like to create a team that plays like Barcelona but it's the job of a manager to find a way to win, however that is.
"Football is played in different ways and that's what's so good about the game in this country. Fans here like men to be men, so they appreciate the honest approach of a lot of our clubs. That's why there's no problem with how Stoke play. Nothing in the rules say you have to play in the same style."
