Starting 11 vs Stoke as it stands

Playing both Gueye and Sniderman at home seems a bit overkill to me, I'd be playing Morgs and Davies. In harder home games and away from home I'd play Gana.

Anyway, I predict;

Pickford
Martina Keane Williams Baines
Schneiderlin
Gana Klaassen
Sandro Rooney Lookman

So on that statement and that selection you think Stoke is one of our harder home games.
I'm just worried the damage Crouch will cause and how we will negate him
 
No, the statement was followed by a prediction rather than the team i'd personally choose.
De that now
I think RK will go with the tried and trusted Morgan / Gana midfield
Rotate Davies /Klassen depending on the game.
Klassen seems to be more attack minded.
But I could be totally wrong.
How he will fit Rooney Sandro and possibly Siggy and Giroud in is hard to figure
 
Klassen is almost guaranteed to start for me. He probably has the quickest brain of the lot.

Mirallas will probably start on the left to keep a veteran presence in the team.

Back line won't be anything out of the norm. Kenny/Martina/Holgate is the only question there

Morgan/Gana will almost certainly be the pairing in the center

Striker a toss up between Rooney and Sandro. Very slight chance of DCL

This leaves the right side vacant. I wonder who will take up that space? Will it be our stalwart 19 year-old Tom or Ade Lookman? Dowell certainly hasn't done himself any harm, but he will have to up his defensive work rate a little.

He could play Mirallas on the left Rooney in the Middle and Sandro on the right but not wide
Leaves it a bit unbalanced , but if he plays Kenny at TB he may want to play Davies to give him a bit of protection

Ideally we would want to see all of our new signings in the game to start, but I think it would be wise to mix some balance between new and old. I can see Rooney starting ahead of Sandro in this one because it is a home game, but I don't see them both on the field at the same time on day 1.

Thinking this myself but need to actually watch Sandro in action myself before I can judge if he'll be played through the middle or as a wide forward.
 
Not that I think Rooney should necessarily be starting automatically, but I think he will be, so....

Pickford
Martina/Keane/Williams/Baines
Gueye
Schneiderlin/Klaassen/Davies
Rooney
Sandro

Good side but too defensive for me and too slow going forward. I´d have:

Pickford

Martina Keane Williams Baines

Klaassen Schneiderlin Gueye

Sandro Rooney Mirallas

I think that's the side as well, barring a Gylfi signing which side would prob see Mirallas move to the bench. Any further additions to striker and or centre back could see Williams switched out and either Rooney or Sandro taking a bench role.
