At least all the players are in their best positions. Whether they are the best players for those positions is another question.
And 4-2-3-1 is welcomed. This or a 4-3-1-2 has to be our formation going forward.
Goarn Stoke!

Ireland and Fletcher will be pretty leggy after 60mins to say the least. 60 minutes? That's very generous.

This selection smacks of commercial decisions to me.
Ireland will not be playing for Lambert so put him on show for any potential takers.
Is Berahino already lined up to go somewhere and we don't want an injury tonight, or is it just to save his embarrassment at turning out Sunday expecting to play?
Give the new boy a tough game to give him a taste of going up against a top Prem team?
Is Tymon on show for a potential buyer/loan?
Are some of the selections to hold something back for Huddersfield another must win match like Newcastle?
Is he giving Indi a run out to play him back to full fitness?
Cameron has been poor lately, hopefully Fletcher is back to his early season form after a lay-off.

I'd rather Edwards on the left than Tymon, maybe even Wimmer, and Diouf instead of Crouch. Oh and Shaq instead of Ireland with Ramadan on one of the wings. But other than that I'm okay with this team selection. Except the formation.

Indi and Zouma - positive. Potentially the best partnership we have and better than watching Wimmer hobbling around like he's wading through treacle. Tymon - positive (giving a youngster a go and Pieters hasn't exactly made the position his own) Bauer - positive (by all accounts he's rapid. And he can also save the world in 24 hours) Ireland - head scratcher to say the least. I'm not saying it's a bad deciosn. I just think it's a bad fucking decision. Choupo out wide - positive. Where all his best games come from. Crouch up top - positive. Pace, strength, mobility - all the traits to successfully lead the line as a lone forward. I'm predicting a 4-0 away win. Crouch.... Pace?!?!?!?!.... Mobility!?!?!?!?!.... I like him, but thats just hilarious. Fuck me, some people on here.

Eddie did not sound to happy which was expected. He came over on the TV interview like he could not give a stuff. Understandable but not good for Stoke! You'd certainly hope he is a bit more positive around the players, he seemed to find the whole thing highly amusing.

Interesting that neither Wimmer or Berahinho start especially considering Pieters is out and Bruno only trained this week.

Just demonstrates how desperate we are for quality in the middle of the park and a mobile striker.
Take fucking note this time Coates and scholes and Cartwright and actually remedy this before it costs us hundreds of millions

I'd have put Shaq in the middle of the three instead of Ireland but I don't think it'll make an enormous difference for what we are about to receive...

Glad to see Bruno back, but other than that it’s a car crash of a line up. Says he trained twice and the new signing hasn’t played since 13th December😮 The new guy will be our fittest player!

Did Bauer cost 5.5m? Sure they just said that on sky? With no manager who authorised That?

Someone needs to keep an eye on Lambert to make sure he doesn’t go all ‘George Burley ‘ and do a runner at half time...
