Squad will be strengthened - I'm sure a top striker will come in. There will certainly be 3 worse teams than us on the evidence of yesterday's performance. Zouma BMI Shawcross will be a fantastic back 3 Fletcher is ace Shaqiri put a shift in yesterday which was a delight to see Choupa-Moting could be as good as Arnie Butland is one of the best keepers in the league Pieters actually put in one good cross yesterday

The point I was making about performance is we matched Everton who will comfortably be in the top half.
I certainly think we are better than all the 3 promoted clubs and you can probably add Palace Swansea to that list

Would you have only been happy if we had got whipped?

Wel, if the sentinel has it right, we,re going for another misfiring striker. Massive gamble in Hughes' position IMHO! I want him to succeed (believe it or not), but I can see him getting the push in all honesty!

We definitely looked more solid. Just need a striker in, and better use of the ones we have already.

We will be ok if we get certain basics resolved and if we have a decent season on the injury front. I think it's wrong to suggest we are much better than any other team in this division - every game will be a battle. As things stand we don't look like scoring many (if any) and we have real issues getting any sort of result if we go behind. Anyone who is uptight about our prospects is not really being unreasonable. We need to be positive but ignoring realities will help no-one.

We've had 10 seasons of Premier League money, we shouldn't be at the trying to count '3 teams worse than us' stage after game 1.
As for new players, that should have been done by now and they should be bedded in, the starters gun has sounded and once again we are stuck in the blocks.
Looking at our next 7 fixtures I think this season could unravel at a terrifying speed.

I thought we did ok yesterday but offered very little threat..as you'd expect from a team playing 3-4-3 without anyone who can play wing back to any great effect !
That's the big worry for me.Hughes still seems hell bent on shoehorning certain players into this system even though they clearly can't do the job.
The next 2 weeks are vital,get the right players in and we'll be fine..otherwise I might be joining Team Benji!

Please tell me the teams u claim are worse ? On yesterday from what I saw Palace, Brighton and Huddersfield won't keep up that form. Remember Blackpool winning 4 0 in their first game??

Please tell me the teams u claim are worse ? Newcastle, Watford, Burnley, Brighton, Huddersfield,Swansea are all some way off Stoke. I think Palace are worse too but not so clearly. Albion about the same. Southampton,West Ham (maybe) and Bournemouth are better but catchable. Obviously there will be more transfers for all those clubs yet.

We're fucked, lucky to beat Sunderlands 24 points last season. Why fight the inevitable gravity crocodile? It's going to feast on us with great delight while Benji rides it into euphoria.

General your very wrong , if the crocodile gets us nobody will be more gutted than me but in he does it will be as a result of chronic mismanagement of the pitch
