Full strength vs Stoke.

I'm intensely relaxed about us resting as many players as we can for QPR. I'd go with something like:

Robles
Hibbert - Stones - Alcarez - Baines
Mirallas - Barry - Osman - Oviedo
Naismith - Jelavic


The likes of Coleman, Barkley, McCarthy and Lukaku should take a well-earned rest.
 
Watched the game again last night and sorry but Naismith was bad.

Won most of his headers but I dont know how much use this is as it seems no attack in world football seem to know how to anticipate a flick on header anymore...rare as hell.

He works hard and his movement seems okay...dunno whether he is following instructions on coming inside or not.

But thats all that can be said for him and thats not enough for a starting place in this team I think. He has terrible technique which takes him running straight into the opposition and does things like running the ball out of play.

Of course whilst hes in the squad I understand whybhe would be used with Kev and Pienaar unfit, but look forward to when he is no longer an option again.

Id imagine Alcatraz may not be ready for another game. Id use stones and oviedo in defence and the normal team from midfield on.
Indeed.

Tells you all you need to know, not really acceptable our current age of Total Football.
 
Distin could probably do with a rest soon. QPR would be a good game to put Alcaraz and Heitinga in there imo.

I'd prefer Alcaraz and Stones, personally. Unless Stones is at right back.

Heitinga's been mostly awful and is going anyway. If the rumours of West Ham are true then I'd expect him left out so he's not cup tied.
 
Chicoazul is late again with the match preview.

Someone ring him and tell him to pull his finger out.

The game is only just over 24 hours away.
