Brunt apparently injured for them. Their message board is a fantastic read. "My least favourite match of the season, used to live within walking distance of Brit, loads of Stoke supporting friends and afterwards rarely anything to smile about. Will be there but not expecting much of a celebration and then Stoke fans complaining about us hoofing the ball. Torture." Oh how the tables have turned. linkWow! They are more pessimistic that than the most pessimistic Stokie. They must all be related to Benji - inbred I expect!

Crying out for a 3-5-2 to bamboozle Tone's head. Snuff out Lambert and any aerial bombardment with height at the back. Stretch them wide, pull them apart and let Diouf do some damage. Ireland, Shaqiri and Joselu on second half. Arnie and Pieters in the naughty corner. (Smile) --------------Jack--------------- ----Cameron Wollscheid Wilson---- Johnson Whelan VanGinkel Muniesa ------------Afellay-------------- ----------Crouch Diouf----------- Been saying this for a couple of months. They could have at least tried it in the preseason friendlies. I guess Bowen and Hughes don't troll the Oatcake for ideas. Someone send them an email.

personally, i would like to see the below team from who is fir and available
------------ Butland ------------- Johnson Cameron Muniesa Pieters ------ Whelan Van Ginkel ---------- ------- Shaqiri Bojan Arnie -------- ------------- Diouf ------------------
ireland to come on around the 65 min mark for Bojan, and Crouch for Diouf if we need to just get the ball in the box in the last 10
i can see 0-0 written all over this, and a mini meltdown on here with our new attacking threat unable to breakdown TP's defence

I think: Butland Johnson Cameron muniesa pieters Whelan Van ginkel Walters Shaqiri arnie Diouf
Walters wants to play and bojan probably won't be ready to start, but shaqiri could try that position, leaving the other 9 from the Norwich 11 in...

I'm actually quite gutted Brunt is injured, I was looking forward to him try and stop Xherdan Shaqiri running at him.

This would actually work. This is why Wigan used to be our bogey team. Play with three CBs and attacking wingbacks is how you undo Pulis. Because he plays his full backs so narrow, they just don't know how to respond when the opposition fullback is that far up the pitch, hanging on the touchline. It leads to either one of two things. Either that fullback is forced to come out to address the threat, thus breaking the narrow shape that makes Pulis' system so solid, or else he force to leave the attacking wingback with as much freedom as he likes. From where I sit in the stand I remember seeing how our fullbacks struggled to deal with this. They just didn't know what they should be doing because it wasn't in the script. Also think it is a good idea playing Charlie. It is difficult to get in behind a Pulis side and you will not create many chances. Having someone who can smash it home from outside the box is pretty useful in these circumstances. I'm not sure about playing a new backline formation with three players who haven't played loads together. I sort of agree with you there. What I would do would be play 3 in central midfield. Whelan in the middle, Adam and MVG either side. When the fullbacks become wingbacks, then Whelan can effectively drop back into the defence. I would also start Wilson for this one too. More physical presence than the others, more experience in these sort of games too.

I'm not sure Bojans fit to play 2 games in a week. I think MH will go with
Jack
Johnson Muni Wilson Eric
Glen GCam
Shaq Ireland Afellay
Diouf
Possibly Adam in for Ireland. I think Wilson in the middle and GCAM in midfield will give us added steel. I can see Arnie being dropped after Tuesday.
