Firstly just want to start off and say im very proud of the boys yesterday, we gave as much as we could give and after being livid with TP for the players he left at home, i can honestly say that the players on the pitch last night gave as much as any of them at home would. Woodgate is a fucking liability and anyone who thinks he is anywhere near the standard of the premiership is a moron. WTF was that free kick all about last night? Too slow, cant pass a ball and obviously cant cross it from a stationairy position.
Based on lasts nights game and the recent others, my team would be
Sorenson
Wilko Huth Shawcross Shotton
Pennant Arasmendi Palacios Etherington Jerome Fuller
Bench:
Whitehead Whelan crouch Walters Upson Begovic Delap

Youll struggle having Huth in the team he is suspended.
I would go for-
Sorrenson
Wilko Shawcross Upson Wilson (if fit)
Palacious whitehead Arismendi
Pennant Crouch Jerome

Sorro Wilko Huth Shawcross Wilson Pennant Palacios Arismendi Ethers Jerome Crouch
With Ric as the impact sub on c60 mins - sadly he never quite seems the same magical player he once was when he starts a game but still, on his day, is our most talented, mesmerising striker.
We can but dream as I expect a max of 1 or 2 from last night to start on Sunday with a midfield of Whelan, Deano, Ethers plus Delap?) and Crouch and SJW upfront.

I think this team will start.
Begovich Wilkinson, Shawcross, Woodgate, Upson, Shotton, Delap, Whelen, Etherington, Crouch, Walters.
Despite his performance in Valencia, Arismendi will only make the bench IMO, and Palacios probably won't be fit.

Of course, Huth still suspended, how could I forget!!! Mine was of course a hypothetical dream team and looks nothing like the real starting line up!

Sorro Shotton Shawcross Upson Wilko (Wilson if fit) Whitehead Arismendi Palacios Ethers Jones Jerome
One of the reasons Arismendi did so well was he was in a midfield three with Diao sitting in front of the back four. That defensive extra man allowed him and Palacios to move the ball forward. I think he would be too exposed in a midfield two with wingers.

Gremlin,I love that team but would perhaps have Crouchy on first then bring Ric on if its not happening,and any right thinking Stokies would agree that is the best midfield we've got! The chances of Pulis playing that team are les than zero sadly!

I would be incredibly, incredibly tempted to go with: Sorensen
Wilkinson Shawcross Upson Wilson
Delap
Palacios Arismendi
Jerome--------------------Fuller Jones BUT: 1) Palacios probably won't be up to two games in quick succession (sigh). 2) TP won't do that because Whelan, Whitehead, Crouch and Walters have all been kept at home so that they can play on Sunday.

If Wilsons fit I'd go with
Bego
Shotton Ryan Upson Wilson
Arismendi
Whelan Palacios
Penant or Ethers Jerome Crouch
If Wilsons injured I'd go Wilko and Shotton at fullbacks. Collins positional sense makes him a liability.

I forgot huth was banned, in that case it has to be upson. I was assuming wilson was unfit, if he was fit, then he would obviously replace shotton.
In an honest question - without even seeing dawson play, he would be closer in the pecking order to start than woodgate? I really just think hes pure gash. Thoughts? Am i being too harsh on the guy?

This is how I think it will go.... We will come out and give it 'a really good go' for 15 mins, during which time our strikers will get 2 decent crosses and fluff both the chances. We will get a couple of corners but they will amount to nothing as there is no Huth. Then their midfield will settle and slowly take control and we will be pressed deeper into our half. They will score a goal and we will chase the game up to half time. We will come out fighting for 15 mins in the second half, get nowhere, make substitutions which will spur us on to chase the game to the final whistle. We will lose 0 - 1.

It's a good thing you're in France then, so you don't have to watch it. Whether you end up being right or not (do you want to be?), that's defeatist posturing, and I'm as pissed off as a lot of people on this board.

This! Fucking go for it!!! (will never happen I know! ) Maybe Deano for Rory and I think Bego may be in for Tommy but this would be my favourite team. And Huth when not suspended, Wilson RB and get a decent LB and we would have a good team. Maybe a better CDM too... *dreaming*

Begovic Wilko - Shawcross - Huth - Wilson Pennant - Whelan - Palacios - Etherington Walters - Crouch Subs Sorenson, Woodgate, Arismendi, Delap, Jones, Jerome, Fuller Would like to see Arismendi start but Pulis would never give a player who has barley played a game this season for 2 games in a week, + he needs to learn how to play in the cage. We are due a result at home and i think we will win this match 2-1.

I will be watching it, as usual. Can't not watch it. I don't want to be right, but it's a trend that I've noticed in the last few home games, which is starting to piss me off.
