I didn't think right back was a priority but it is if we're staring down the barrel of Geoff fucking Cameron being first choice there. Like a rabbit staring in the headlights of an oncoming truck, God help us I'd prefer Shotton!! Hopefully it's going to be Wilson.

I can't see why it won't be anyone but Cameron after pre-season. Barring Bego, Shawcross, Huth and N'Zonzi I would say he's had the most game time and most of it at right back.

When Hughes came in, he must have been aware that we were very weak in the full back positions.
I find it strange that the left back slot was sorted quickly with incoming Pieters and Muniesa, yet arguably we were weaker at right back last season, but for some reason ordinary Geoff appears to have the spot nailed on.

GC Is a Centre Half or defensive mid why he plays right back confuses me Shotton is our best option as for next weeks team who knows , obviously starting side yesterday must make up the bulk of it but not confident of much from them to be honest.

IN terms of good enough
Bego , Tommy Buckland
Shotton at rb, i rate him there
Ryan
Huth
Maybe Pieters too early to tell
Nzonzi if he stays calm
Hopefully shea
Which sort of explains why we score so few goals

When did we sign him.

I have no idea as to what team we are likely to start with but if no new signings arrive, then I would do what we are good at and go 4-4-2 and play at a fast, aggressive tempo.
I wouldn't entertain Cameron at right back and don't think our current wing options are suitable to play an effective 4-3-3.

Hughes needs to go with a defensive/ cautious team, quieten the Liverpool crowd, especially in the first twenty minutes, and try to nick a goal.
If Stoke fall behind, use attacking subs later in the game.
In his first game as manager it would be extremely brave to take this Liverpool side on at Anfield.
A point would be a great result.

Bego
Cameron- Shawcross- huth-pieters
Nzonzi- palacios- Adam
Walters- crouch- pennant
Palacios I would like to see start. Made mistakes lets be honest which of our players haven't made mistakes this preseason. But he looked frustrated with himself cause he knows he can play better. At genoa looked angry after he had the ball nicked off him ( probably should have had a shout but there you go) I thought whelan looked completely lost when he came on and went back more than he did forward and was very rigid whereas the middle three who started looked free moving about the pitch alot more changing positions playing passes forwad and around rater than going back. I was impressed by pennants work ethic and beat is man more than Matty did. Not sure if ull agree with me on that one but I think pennant and palacios both worked hard enough with ethic aswell as performance to earn a starting place.
It worried me though when we make a in in midfield be it n zonzi or Adam. The play stopped. We didn't perform te same with them two off the field. I think we could need a back up for midfield aswell as upfront so we don't just stop playing IMO this is what happened against genoa.
