Why do we have to keep Sorensen happy? He gets paid, what £1.5 million a year? And he probably won't even be a Stoke player next season. Why should we deliberately handicap ourselves, when we've got a very good chance of picking up silverware just to keep somebody happy for a few months? If we thought that Bego needed a rest to improve his league form then fine but he doesn't. Bego should be the first name on the team sheet for the remainder of the competition - he's our best player ffs! Agreed

Bego should be the first name on the team sheet for the remainder of the competition - he's our best player ffs! I guess that when the policy first started, there was no risk. Begovic and Sorensen really were both good goalkeepers of similar ability and there was nothing between them. In fact, in 2011 I'd say Sorensen was the better of the two. It's a completely different situation now, with Begovic being much better than he was and Sorensen declining.

Sentimental wusses, that's why. Begovic makes game changing saves he should be in the team. I don't get some saying they want the strongest possible starting 11 then take our best player out of the team

What kind of line-up for this one then? Sorensen Cameron Shawcross Wilson Pieters Nzonzi Whelan Walters Adam Arnautovic Jones 8-|I dunno, hence all the chin stroking going on

Mark and his team really fancy this , expect a full strength team. Ireland , Walters and Pieters will all start.

Ireland has to start as he can't play against villa so Adam will probably be held back . Jones starts I hear , you heard it hear first

I think the only decisions Hughes needs to make are Sorenson/Bego and Arnie or Assaidi Personally I'd go Bego Cameron Shawcross Wilson Pieters Whelan Nzonzi Walters Ireland Arnie Crouch Even though I'm not Arnie's biggest fan I would start him as I think Assaidi will be a better impact sub if required

Post by eddy on Dec 16, 2013 9:07:27 GMT
Agreed. Arnie to soften 'em up, Assaidi to run them off their feet in the last half hour/twenty minutes.

Would prefer Sorenson in goal, bit of loyalty goes a long way.

obviously Bego gives us a better chance, but you'd think they also want to rest Bego with his thigh injury.

Sorenson Cameron Shawcross Wilson Muniesa Palacios N'Zonzi Walters Ireland Arnautovic Jones

I'd start strongest 10 plus sorro, he's had cup games untill now so it's only right you keep with him.
On another note what is kick off time, i was under the impresion it was 20:00 as stated on my receipt, however according to sky sports it's 19:45. Can somebody confirm which is correct?

Begovic Cameron Shawcross Wilson Muniesa N'Zonzi Palacios Walters Ireland Assaidi Crouch Muniesa & Assaidi against Rafael & Valenica ??? no thanks.
Arnie & Pieters, Arnie doesn't have to be as deep then because he obviously trusts Pieters.

Hellu! I think Mark Hughes will have this team for the match vs Man Utd: Begovic Cameron-Shawcross-Pieters-Muniesa Walters-NZonzi-Adam-Assaidi Crouch-Arnautovic Subs: Sörensen, Wilkinson, Wilson, Whelan, Palacios, Shea, Jones I guess Huth is still unavailable. A 1-0, 2-1 or 3-2 win to Stoke. pasta//:musik
