Match Thread Stoke City vs Everton 15:00 pm Saturday 17th March

[Huyton Layne]

Same team as last time but put Gana in for Davies then move Davies up the field to “replace” Gylfi.
Either that or drop Davies for Gana and stick Cenk in the hole behind Niasse.

Both of those two teams win by 2

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

I'd be amazed if there's a shot on target in this game, let alone a goal.

Anyways, if Gana is well again, he comes in for Davies, and I'd like to see Vlasic in for Siggy. Nothing against Tom, just don't think CAM is his natural position (as yet anyways), and currently Rooney and Gueye are our best central midfielders.

I can see Schnederlin coming in beside Gana

Unfortunately, I can too. I fully expect Sam to torpedo the side that won last week and put 12 defensive players on the pitch somehow

I can see snides and Gana with Rooney behind tosun.
Hopefully I'm wrong

We will win this, we are gash but Stoke are woeful.

Beheraine (spelling) not scored for yonks, trip to the bookies me thinks.

Surely even we couldn't conspire to let Berahino score?

 

[Death]

I would be absolutely shocked if we take anything from this match. Stoke needs it much more badly than us, we are dire away, and we just lost Iceland.

3-1 Stoke, Crouch with a brace

They finally succumbed to a mega volcano?

 

[KaiserEFC]

We know how they are going to play, and they have to go for the win. Crouch is going to start because Jese is woefully unfit and pundits and fans alike are calling for the big man. They’ll lump it up to him and have Shaqiri playing off him as he is their only attacking outlet (Choupo-Mouting is crap).

All we have to do is press them hard and stop that ball going up, and if it does go up have somone on Shaqiri to win the second ball. There really aren’t any excuses (except that we don’t press or set up to nullify individual teams).

We have the pace to hurt this lot and realistically it should be a decent 3 points.

Do you honestly expect big fat gravy drinking Sam Allardyce to play 2 CF away from home ???

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Crouch hat trick, Berahino brace. 5:2 to Schtoke. Bolasie double over head kick for us.

 

[Zezti]

Stick that Bong up front with Tosun again, did great last match.

 

[jolteon101]

Pickford
Coleman Jags Keane Baines
Gueye Baningime
Walcott Rooney Bolaise
Tosun

If Mori is fit I wouldn't mind seeing him in place of Jags.

Beni picked for his physicality in midfield. Disappointed not to see more of him this season TBH, think he's played very well when picked.

As if.

You do realise that comment will ensure he gets a brace.Any player in a goal drought needs us as their next fixture.
