MARK ROBINS will stay patient with Steven Nzonzi after handing the World Cup winner a long-awaited second Stoke debut.
Nzonzi (above) came on late in this draw to make his first Potters appearance since a man-of-the-match turn in a 6-1 win against Liverpool 10 years ago.
The France midfielder rejoined Stoke last month after spending last year with Sepahan in Iran, but has had to manage a minor calf injury as well as get up to speed.
The sight of him finally back in red and white sparked an almighty reception at the bet365 Stadium.
