This (barring any new arrivals this week of course). Adam will start. Yeah I think he will too. My best guess, would be: --------------Butland-------------- Cameron---Wilson---Muni---Eric --------------Whelan-------------- Walters---MVG---Adam---Arnie ---------------Diouf---------------

Usually at some point you would normally try what you think would be the starting eleven together in at least one game ?

- Adam shoud start together with Whelan and van Ginkel in the midfield - Walters and Arni on the wings - if we need more offensive power, bring Ode and Bojan during the game (think, both still don´t have the fitness to start a Premier League game) - Diouf upfront and nowhere else - please no Wollscheid!! - Cameron/Muniesa/Wilson/Pieters should be our defender
Hope, the start of the season doesn´t come too early for us, which concerns me a little bit

I'm really excited for Sunday, I will admit.
Cannot fucking wait!

Got a horrible feeling about Sunday. This lot will be well up for this after the 6-1 and we are still bedding players in and carrying knocks with key players missing.

We'll need to spend the whole game in the Liverpool end 'cos we sure as hell will ship in goals at our end without Shawcross playing.Unless we get a decent CB signed sharpish.

If I were Stoke I'd be licking my lips at the thought of that centre half pairing in the same why they might be with ours currently..........

That's a very telling comment.
I think it might take a while for us to get our strongest XI out onto the pitch this season (if we ever do) so hopefully everyone will stay patient until we get going properly. I'd feel a lot better if we signed a quality centre-half before Sunday but at the moment it's hard not to be quite apprehensive about our opening set of fixtures.

Not all of those players will be out. I tried to come up with the team if they're all out but it's practically impossible. At least Bojan, Johnson and Odemwingie will feature I reckon.

Might be easier to try to rule people in rather than out then. Who got back on time and has not had either a long term or a pre-season injury The 4 'W''s of Wilson, Woolscheid, Walters and Whelan plus Diouff, Cameron and Butland spring to mind. That's 7 to be going on with. I fancy he'll start with a 'job in hand' team and look to bring the 'step over merchants' off the bench.

Surely we won't play without a single winger? Oh, hold on, we only have one. Arnie has to feature and then we can see how Joselu and Diouf shape up as I think the latter will end up out on the wing!

Wilson played through an injury on Sunday - Hughes woudn't have risked him if he didn't deem his fitness as crucial, so I'm going for:
Butland
Geoff Wilson Muniesa Pieters
Whelan
Adam MvG
Odem Diouf Arnie

I'm just hoping Texiera doesn't play because he's nowhere close to the standard we need. I'd be more comfortable with Cameron starting at CB but my impression is Johnson's not ready yet.

'Who is going to do the heavy lifting?' Mr. Hughes will rightly ask himself.

The commentator yesterday was bang on, his exact words were, "Stokes only tactic has been long up to Crouch and hope he heads it and hopes it falls to the nearest Stoke player". We are better than that, love Crouch and really admire how he has helped us grow, but he has to be a bench option nowadays.

'Who is going to do the heavy lifting?' Mr. Hughes will rightly ask himself. I was toying with Walters for Odem, but Odem seems to have been a bit brighter in terms of his form. I wouldn't moan if Walters started though, he always seems to score against Liverpool at home. It's the spine of the team that worries me - noticeably weaker than 3 months ago.

We're worse off than I thought if Adam is considered to be one of the fitter players.

We're worse off than I thought if Adam is considered to be one of the fitter players. It's all relative - he's had no recent surgery nor muscle tears, which is one up on most of them. How we have such a crocked and unfit squad in the first week of August beggars belief.

Post by thestatusquo on Aug 3, 2015 15:50:16 GMT
why do people think Adam isn't fit I think his fitness depends on the role he's asked to play. If he plays further up the pitch he does tend to last longer than he has to cover box to box.

So we go into the new season less Moses, Nzonzi, Bego, probably Shawcross.
We've had a lot of poor results pre-season.
We've had a pretty shit summer so far haven't we?
