Why ? He's scored four in two hasn't he. Maybe Hughes has seen that he is a good option and has improved from is loan spell and doesn't see the need to play him in this match. Being VERY VERY VERY optimistic & HOPEFUL you could say that Hughes didn't put Joselu on because he wants to surprise Everton by starting him next week. Made a few corrections to your post

So in summary, we've beaten a champions league outfit, conceding to a penalty that wasn't a penalty. Despite that, we are shit, unbalanced, Hughes is a fuckwit and we are an absolute joke. Mmm...what to think? Splitter 😘

Regardless of the score this was by far the best pre-season game to actually try and visualise how our team is going/try to work this season. They're a good team but very physical...exactly what we needed.
- Sobhi needs to start with the squad we have...I'd put him at left wing back over Pieters (useless) and put Choupo Moting in the front 3 providing he actually signs (no doubt we'll end up screwing that up) - Bojan can't start - Need to sign a right wing back. However, if we don't (read: we won't) Diouf can play right wing back over Johnson relatively comfortably - Fletcher was a fantastic free, very composed on the ball. Will be a good stop gap (read: yet another stop gap though) - If we're not playing on the floor, don't play Berahino up top. Simple. - Think Delph would actually work for us in this formation with Fletch (providing he stays fit which is the main concern) - Have to keep Shaq at all costs. No two ways about it. By any means possible. DON'T LET HIM LEAVE. - NEED another CB to replace Cameron ASAP

Well I have had to be dragged around Hanley all afternoon and had to rely on crafty sneaks at the Oatie to find out how we had done. No surprise that the usual suspects were doing a sterling job of convincing me how shit Stoke are and how easily the Premier League teams will find it to put dozens past us . I get to the end and find that we have actually beaten a team that is in the Champions League and finished runners up to Bayern Munich- and still the usual moaners are having a go.

Diouf was our best player, hes a beast at right wing-back.
Shaq is really on it at the moment
Bojan looks absolutely lost
Berahino making aimless runs and doesnt look a Prem player to me
Also worried about that midfield 3 of Allen, Fletcher, Adam (or another) - lots of effort but zero creativity from the middle
Stop Shaqiri and you stop Stoke its that simple

We won but still lots, to work on
still giving loose passes away in midfield that invite the opposing team to come onto us
far too often
and, the classic fall back and defend, last ten minutes
Butland great save at the very end
and a very noisy Stoke Contingent
Mind you, Leipzig were very fit - quick and aggressive and gave us a very stiff workout indeed-good pre season call that - whoever made it
and Im Crediting their OG to one Peter Crouch - just being on the pitch made that defender literally shit himself in panic and head it into his own net
positives a few
negatives - formation ? NOW MARK --- listen to me again
its FOUR, fucking FOUR, fucking TWO
Berahino - £15m absolutely wasted - no doubt now (Pulis saw us coming there)
no threat whatsoever, ZERO - REPEEAT ZERO - GOAL THREAT and absolutely nothing sticks -
runs about like a 12 year old ----- thats it !
and Bojan ---- who ? anonomous - a pale shadow of his former self - a shame really

Just what on earth is Jack doing with that penalty. Regardless of if he touched him or not it's awful keeping. He's give the ref a decision to make when he didn't need to

I think performances are always good. And getting players in early to gel and learn how you play is vital imo.

Also I'd quite like to add, I (and a lot of other members on here) have been pretty tough on Shawcross...he had a good game today for the most part. Hope he can keep that up/give him some momentum to have a good season

Post match interview may be interesting? or maybe not , just a few predictable phrases
Wonder if there will be any questions re the progress in the transfer market, and more importantly any positive news.
It's an away win today
Needless penalty, fortunate own goal We scored a good goal (from a corner!)
I'd settle for that next week

It's a shame we don't do it really. I'm not sure the majority do, especially with the window ridiculously closing 3 weeks after the season starts.

WBA (the club that is, not necessarily the fans) wanted him to stay.

Mmm...what to think? Pre-season means fuck all. Your smileys have confused me. Not sure if you are being Ironic or not. In previous seasons there has been much criticism of our pre season fixtures and build up. It would seem to me that this has been taken on board and this year much improved. A lot lot of negativity has been expressed of late. I am quite confident that things will be nowhere near as bad as many people seem to think on here. We we will not win the leauge, but neither will we be Relegation fodder.

I think it's because we don't like we've addressed one issue that has appeared in the last 18 months when we've been wank. That's my worry anyway. The results don't bother me. But square pegs in round holes and massive gaps for fast players to run in to do. And for me now is when you sort that shit out. And it's just a tad concerning that we haven't.
