Begovic. Bardsley - Shawcross - Huth - Pieters. N'Zonzi - Sidwell. Moses - Bojan - Arnautovic. Crouch.
Not too fussed if instead of Moses & Crouch it says Odemwingie & Diouf. (Or any combination thereof.)

Just read that Snodgrass is out, possibly up till Xmas. Won't have to suffer him then? For Hull that is!

Thinking about it in a little more detail, as I sit here now, my team for Sunday would be; Begovic Bardsley, Shawcross, Huth, Pieters Whelan, Sidwell Odemwingie, N'Zonzi, Arnie Diouf Subs; Crouch, Muniesa, Wilson, Ireland, Bojan, Adam, Tommy/Butland When picking a Stoke side at the moment, one thing consistently bothers me...I think Muniesa is a superb footballer and it really pains me when I don't include him in my team. I'm absolutely convinced he could do the Whelan job in midfield and as much as a like Whelan, I would love to see Muniesa given a go in that midfield role. EDIT - I completely forgot about Moses and if he's fit, he has to play as well though where, god only knows!

Bego Bardsley Shawcross Huth Pieters
Muniesa Nzonzi
Ireland Moses Odemwingie Diouf
Pace on the counter , although no idea if Odemwingie can operate on the left side. Huth in to help steady Ryan who looked a bit shaky at times on Saturday (not alone i know) and make us more solid especially away from home. Introduce Bojan in place of either Ireland or Diouf and Arnie for Ode or Moses against a tiring defense.Muniesa in instead of Whelan just feel he is too good not to be in the team and when ever he plays we look far more balanced.

Wilson for Huth, Sidwell for Whelan and 'Wingie for Bojan

This is the team I'd like to see but I doubt it will be fielded.
Bego Bardsley Shawcross Huth Pieters
Cameron N'zonzi
Moses Bojan. Arnautovic Crouch.

I've gone for
Begovic
Bardsley - Shawcross - Huth - Pieters
N'Zonzi - Sidwell
Moses - Bojan - Arnie
Crouch
with Diouf, Odemwingie and possibly Adam making it on from the bench. I'd play Crouch as he will retain possession more easily than Diouf, also Bojan I feel will work well feeding off Crouchie's knock down's, lay off's and passes. I feel if Sidwell could do a similar role to Whelan that would be great, he has the extra legs away from home and it would be good if when we break either him or N'Zonzi break forward rather than it only ever being 1 CM who ever does.
This will be a very difficult game and I'd be happy with a point, Hull are a decent outfit and despite their Europa League game on Thursday will be difficult to beat at home.

Dropping Diouf wouldn't be the best way to welcome him back to the Premiership. Hughes chasewd him for a while so why can't Bojan play behind him as opposed to Crouch. Personally I'd be surprised if Crouch became Plan A just because we lost on Saturday. Is Moses match fit do we know? Is Odemwingie?

Begovic
Bardsley; Shawcross; Huth; Muniesa
N'Zonzi; Sidwell
Moses; Bojan; Arnie
Diouf
And possibly Diouf and Moses will go off and Odemwingie and Crouch will come on

Think Saturdays team was more suited to an away game. We have got to give them a chance to gel. If they get dumped then time to make changes.

Yes we were shit but what kind of message is it sending to the new boys if you're dropped after 1 shit game? Let's drop Bego and Shawcross while we're at it. The only change for me would be Moses for Ireland. We need some directness.

Sorenson Wilkinson Huth Texieria Muniesa Cameron Sidwell Adam Odemwingie Moses Crouch I 'picked' this side whilst in a huff. tbh I think there is merit to this side Walters might be a bit sneeped not getting in either side. I suspect Hughes will either give everyone a chance to get the appalling Villa game out of their system or just make 2 or 3 changes

Other than that Cameron in place of Whelen in central midfield and Crouch instead of Diouf.

If it hadn't had been his debut then he would have got laughed at or boo'd to death for running the ball out in front of the Boothen. I pray to God there is better to come if he keeps his place. Crouch for me

Crouch for me I wasn't impressed either but he had no service at all and you have to hope, having chased him for over a year, that there is MUCH more to come from him. If Diouf misses out I would play Odemwingie and Walters in that forward role ahead of Crouch. If Odemwingie plays up front it frees up the right sided spot for Moses. Don't agree with whoever it is above that says Moses plays ahead of Arnie. What few things we did well all came from Arnie and he was easily the pick of Saturday's forward players despite being surrounded by 2 or 3 opposition players every time he had the ball.

Well, my Blackburn mate says he's a donkey and after Saturday..... I'd personally play as many of the players from last season as possible since they did enough last year to merit a start - it is up to the other to force their way in when they get the opportunity.

Why didn't the manager see it that way? Odemwingie was unavailable and one would have hoped that route one to Crouch was now Plan B.

Christ, talk about not giving Diouf a chance! Uncs, we need to get some points on the board. I'm not saying that he won't be good - at least he looked to have genuine pace.

We've played one game Neph. It was a bit horrible on Saturday but Hughes could have started the new boys on the bench but chose not to. To drop them now would not be encouraging.

Uncs I'm just saying what I would have done. Hughes can do what he wants after last year and will deserve plenty of slack. I just don't want him to put himself or us in a difficult position when there is no need. It's a tough one for me though as from Man U onwards the bloke blew me away last year and I never thought we would produce what we did. Equally, when we are shit and players are shit then I will call it as I see it. I thought Arnie was pretty wank to start with last year and then became a world beater - went back to being wank on saturday though - so I'm sure there will be more to come Diouf.

Bego Bardsley Shawcross Huth Pieters Whelan N'zonzi Moses Bojan Arnautovic Diouf Ireland didn't do enough for me today to cement himself into that central attacking role. Diouf can't be blamed for not doing much against Villa. Please let it be this! Felt quite bad for Diouf tbh, apart from the 1 poor touch that he put out of of play, he was in and around the right areas, just wasn't given any decent opportunities.
