That team looks lightweight in attack. The two B's really need to step it up.

Surprised he has started Bojan but lets hope he takes his chance and actually turns up. Fingers crossed!

Certainly different. Glad we haven't started with Crouch, but would have liked to have seen Rammers.

Good team. Joselu and Imbula not there. Joselu wife has had a baby a couple of days ago. I blame Hughes.

More than anything I'm glad he's actually decided on a formation and is replacing unavailable players instead of switching systems
Could've easily switched to 4 at the back but instead brings in Cameron, let's hope this is something that sticks

No idea what bojan as done to deserve a start over sobhi,is n goy injured?if not he should be ahead of crouch at least adam are only CM on bench so an early injury to allen or fletcher and it means charlie playing longer than he can manage or or we would like no centre back on the bench yet 2 fullbacks,strange selections all round yet again. hopefuly its a 4231

... ah this is where you all got to ... wondered where everyone had gone on the match thread ... If boj fires (fingers crossed), and that's a fluid front three and we go gung ho and overload a bit ... never mind 3-4, could end up 6-7!

Seriously chaps, can you stop with the positive comments, it's not what the message board is for.
Come on Stoke, a difficult start to the season, win , lose or draw lets see some fight and sport and something for the doubters to believe in.

This is Bojan's chance. Let's hope he takes it, and proves me wrong...C'mon you Potters!.

Why? You are not suggesting he impregnated Joselu's wife, are you? Yes. Isn't it obvious? Manager doesn't rate striker. Striker scores in pre-season making him fans favourite. Manager hires Tardis, travels back in time 9 months, impregnates strikers wife thereby manufacturing excuse for not playing fans favourite in the opening game. Definitely Hughes' fault. The Truth it Out There.

Long ball over the top of our left back and watch the system fall apart. That's the spirit!

Joselu wife has had a baby a couple of days ago. I blame Hughes. Really? Oh dear they'll need a dna test now; see if the father's Hughes or Kitson.

Calm your knickers. We have a formation and hughes is sticking to it, thats a positive after the indecision of last season

We only have a set number of subs you know? 4-we have enough options without the need for more centrebacks & 2 fullbacks on the bench means we can replace Mame if needed and also puts pressure on Eric which is needed. Hughes has this right, its now down to the players to perform!

Butland Diouf Cameron Shawcross Zouma Pieters Fletcher Allen Shaqiri Bojan Berahino
Think Zouma and Cameron will be playing on the other side of Ryan.

The glaring weakness is Pieters. The worse wing back on the planet.

If Hughes had been successful in landing Lemina, where would he have played him in this formation?
