Mark Bowen: 'Victor Moses can deliver goods for Stoke City'

Stoke City assistant manager Mark Bowen believes that Victor Moses finally has the chance to prove his quality this season.

Stoke City assistant manager Mark Bowen has suggested that Victor Moses has finally been given the platform to display his best form after moving to the club on loan from Chelsea.

The Nigerian winger played a starring role as the Potters beat Portsmouth 3-0 in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday night, and Bowen believes that being a regular at the Britannia Stadium is certain to help him improve after being used sparingly by Brendan Rodgers during a similar spell with Liverpool last season.

"At the moment he is 99% Premier League match fit and he tired a little bit in the second half and we brought him off to protect him," the Welshman is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"With all due respect to Portsmouth he is used to playing against top-class defenders and causing them problems so it was maybe a tad easier for him tonight, but he showed what he has got and always had - and he just needs that platform.

"It is no good for a player of his ability to just have cameo performances, and hopefully we can give him the platform to do that this year."

Moses is expected to keep his place in the side for Saturday's trip to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City.
