TP can't do the unthinkable tomorrow and play Cresswell at Chelsea.....will he??????? Radio Stoke are suggesting he will play What the hell will Beattie be thinking The guy is dire, i think his performances have been so bad over time that if he wins one ball in the air in a game fans think he has had a decent game. I think i am right in thinking we have yet to win ONE game this season with him starting...0 goals, 0 goal threats, 0 assists, too slow to get into scoring positions all for 19k a week.

I would play cressy in the mama role at chelsea as if we were to go gung ho and play an attacking formation then they would just pick us off

Read the Sentinel. Denis Smith thinks he is the best option tomorrow! All that proves is that there are at least two people insane enough to think that this is the best option. After a good couple of weeks, normal service resumed Cresswell must have some very dodgy pictures of Pulis with farm animals

Spit. i fear you do not see the bigger picture.
Cresswell has managed to see off all contenders for his position so far.
I just wish we could play him at right back!

How is Cresswell dire? I feel so sorry for him. Gives his heart and soul every week, runs until he can't run anymore every single game and thn gets ripped apart by fans. Disgraceful He's better than Kitson, a whole world better. Alays trys and will be perfect to keep chasing Beattie's flicks on Saturday. GO ON CRESSY

This has been discussed earlier (bizarrely on the Fred thread I think).
Some people were saying the Pulis would be right to start with Cresswell in a 4-4-1-1 formation with Beattie playing the lone striker and Cresswell chasing Chelsea down between our midfield and Beattie.
I can understand this idea to a degree, but considering how poor Chelsea have been on balls into the box lately, I personally would prefer to see a lot of long balls thrown into the box aimed at Beattie AND Kitson.

Theres no faulting Cresswells effort, I cant argue against that he doesnt stop running
But in the Prem as it as proved so far with cress, running all day gets you nowhere! How is he a better option than Kitson or Beattie, both players who pose good movement and an attacking theat.
What does Cress possibly bring to our side?

I'm happy for Cresswell to play tomorrow. Chelsea like to knock the ball around in their own half looking for space. It will be Cresswell's job to keep their players under pressure. Who would you rather have? Dozy Dave! And who has criticised Lord Denis. Smithy has been a successful manager as has Pulis, whereas those on here.....

GO ON CRESSY I have not seen Cresswell control a football since we have been in this division I have not seen him test a goalkeeper I have not seen him run past a defender with the ball i have seen him run around a lot, it's called a headless chicken, i would run around alot for 19k a week, but unfortunatley it needs a bit more than that in this premiership he was even at fault for chelsea's first goal at stoke when is sole purpose for playing was to man mark their right back. i would love him to prove me wrong, but history suggests he his way out of his depth.

I think cresswell gets some harsh and unfair stick. Each game he puts his body on the line, 100% and never stops running. I would play him tomorrow!

Would this attacking threat be the same attacking threat that has seen Kitson net a total of ZERO fucking goals this season???

Doesn't say much about Kitson if Creswell is considered the better option. It's up to Pulis to get Creswell's energy and committment levels from Kitson...

Unlike Cresswell, there is one thing Kitson can do. He can stand around for hours on end in front of thousands of people sulking week after week.
It is clear, Beattie is replacing Kitson in the squad.
Bye bye Dave, Stoke career over.

Mate - you clearly see what you want to see!
You haven't seen him control a football.
Don't be so bloody daft!
We've got the message, you don't like Kitson, in fact conveniently you don't like anyone that Pulis appears to hold reservations about.
Hardly the depths of independant evaluation is it?

With regard to the Newcastle game fella, I would much rather, that we don't wait until we are already 2-0 down before we decide to put our best eleven players out on the pitch.

As with Mama before him, Stoke fans can see when a player is giving every ounce of energy he can. We can only criticise Cresswell because he lacks the quality we probably need in the Prem. However, with Mama missing, he is the best option to replace him against an expensive Chelsea team who have been stung by some harsh criticism this week.
Even if I am being charitable to Dave Kitson, I can't imagine him doing anything other than fade out of the game tomorrow. We need 11 committed players for the full 90 minutes.
