Please can you talk about Philip Wollscheid tonight and explain to me how he's a better prospect at the back than the let go on loan Robert Huth.Imo he isn't fit to lace Huth's boots and the sooner he comes back the better..I'm at work until 10 and hopefully I'll be tuning in if the signal holds up but this subject must be discussed and then bought up by your good self at the press conference next Thursday/Froday.Also it's time for Asmir to have a break because his confidence is shot and if any other player ie outfield player had made the same amount of mistakes as he has then they would have been dropped by now.

He and Ryan do not mix. He was very good playing alongside Muniesa, Hughes has to take a view on the overall picture.

Looking forward to the discussion on Huth as I think it will be unaminous. Get him back to Stoke asap.

Regardless of whether you think Huth should return or not and without assassinating the bloke's character/ability, I'd be interested to know just what the split is between fans who still think he should be signed and those who would rather he wasn't. After his debut I thought he was going to be an excellent acquisition but on the basis of these last few games I would personally be glad to see him return to Germany. Please use the poll that I'm going to post to have your say. |

Wollschield has his limitations as does a lot of defenders. I am sure Wolly will be signed as for one he is a lot younger than Huth and can pass the ball and does not look like a startled rabbit with the ball at his feet.
Huth and Ryan were a good partnership because they played so long together and had an understanding, where as Wolly has played with Ryan Shawcross, Marc Wilson, Marc Muniesa and Geoff Cameron this season alone so how can you Bulid up an understanding to grow a partnership.

Huth could run though and didn't make basic defensive errors! Huth had the 2nd best pass percentage for a defender last weekend! He also won a league in the Chelsea so he can pass! Wollscheids superior passing didn't look very superior yesterday! Surely Hughes can't sign Wollscheid now he has looked very poor in 3 or 4 games (Blackburn, Man City, yesterday come to mind) |

I wouldn't even be considering Wolly long term to the extent I wouldn't play him again.
He needs Glen Whelan protecting him, otherwise he looks a liability. And where has this myth come from that he can pass a football. I would prefer Shotton with the ball at his feet to a man who looks like bambi in high heels.

Disagree with Russ, worst team at the brit this season?!?
IMO Hull were, just sat and hardly had a shot, Sunderland had 15 shots!
Very open game, we dominated 1st half, Sunderland dominated 2nd half, could of gone either way, good point in the end!

I agree with Muttley. Wooly is never an upgrade on Huth. Me and my mate Charlie and my daughter Jessica could all fit into the back 4 better than Him.

I think that Shawcross is still struggling with his back
The back 4 + Asmir are not working together, lots of indecision - lots of different permutations however
Wollscheid had a nightmare BUT (tin hat on) I think that he will settle here, even if he is on the bench for a while.
Huth has played himself into form at Leicester and seems to be fit and healthy (I don't think he would have had that opportunity if he had stayed here imo)
Not sure whether MH sees Huth in his plans however

Wholshied and Muniesa were fine. He just doesn't click with Ryan.

Huth back would help the defence and most importantly help on set pieces! His distribution is better than given credit for!
I fear Hughes has already sold him and signed Wollschied!

How about Begovic's distribution?

stoke were supposed to be playing a more attacking formation yesterday, but I don't think we were more threatening than usual to be honest.

Mark Bowen said he'd gone with Adam, N'Zonzi and Ireland because Hughes felt Sunderland were vulnerable in defence and he wanted to get at them.

No!! Return to sender! Wolly is not athletic enough for the premier league, let alone his poor defensive attributes should send him packing. Huth must come back for me and I hope the Cattermole transfer has been finally put to bed as well. Can't believe he got away with that challenge on Charlie. Regarading Asmir, i think its time for Jack to play for Stoke, Bego needs to be dropped. It worked before under Tone and he came back better.

Marc, while I agree about the partnership thing he is too slow, takes too many risks and isn't that strong at his primary duty which is defending. Factor in some Championship no-mark tore him a new arsehole and I think we'd be better passing up the opportunity thanks all the same. |

Ryan hasn't been training properly all week, jogging around with physio, obviously still a problem with his back or groin.

Back 4 v Swansea
I think that Bardsley will replace Cameron - forced change
Wilson will replace Wollscheid - Muniesa will make the bench
Shawcross - hope he is fit
Pieters to remain at LB - I thought he had a good game yesterday
Bego in goal
(I would start Ireland, Adam and N'Zonzi again)

Without a doubt he's nowhere near his best and it's clear the injury is still causing him problems. He's the mainstay of our defence and when he isn't firing and he's partnered with someone who doesn't look comfortable doing the dirty stuff we look vulnerable to bang average players like Wickham and Graham. |

I think we should give Butland a game. I also think we should bring Wilson or Muni in. Trouble is, if Bardsley plays, then that's three changes to a defence that's continually changing. Glad I'm not a manager.

Wholshied and Muniesa were fine. He just doesn't click with Ryan. Blackburn and Man City say they weren't fine at all, mate. They've actually got a 50% win percentage when they play together. Blackburn was on the manager for me. Man City wasn't great but it was Man City. Shawcross and Wolly is by far the worst centre back partnership we have (within reason). |

We need a right back and centre back if we are not going to bring Huth back.
I could dust my boots off if needed, but don't waste money on Wolschied.

Glad I'm not a manager. Good point re even more changes. Wilson is a steady player, used to playing alongside Pieters and hopefully Ryan can play too. |

Man City wasn't great but it was Man City. Shawcross and Wolly is by far the worst centre back partnership we have (within reason). I just plain don't rate him, mate. Wolly and Muni look ok against certain types of forwards. Against any real strength or pace they will always struggle as a pair and more often than not in this league you come up against those qualities. My main beef (as it is for Geoff) is that they're both a bit wet where the physical stuff is concerned. Maybe I'm old skool but I want my defenders ready to put their bodies on the line and neither strike me as being prepared to do that. Our defence doesn't have enough of that quality and for me more than anything else is why we ship really shitty goals. |
