Begovic Cameron - Shawcross - Huth - Pieters N'Zonzi - Wilson Pennant - Ireland - Arnautovic Jones Really like the look of that jb. I really hope Pennant and Ireland get a start on Wednesday.

I haven't seen anything in Ireland to suggest he warrants a Premier League start personally. Got caught in possession twice in his little cameo yesterday and was well off the pace against Man City. I think he would need to put in a blinder on Wednesday to forward his claims myself.

Stoke and Hughes have given Ireland a massive opportunity so you'd think he'd grab it with both hands Paul. I'm just a little doubtful he still has 'it' but he's certainly young enough to get 'it' back!
I thought Arnie looked spot on myself and am excited at seeing him start regularly whereas Pennant is a must to replace Walters. However, on Wednesday, don't you think he'll give Assaidi a run? We need to see what he's made of again as soon as possible with a view to him offering another option out wide.

I'd start all three of them on Wednesday Mike.
Pennant---Ireland---Assaidi
Hoepfully they've all got something to prove.
I agree that Ireland needs to prove himself, that's why I really would like to him start on Wednesday but I'm fast running out of patience with Adam, I've completely given up on Walters and Adam isn't too far behind if I'm honest.

Starting with Adam, you are using up one of your three subs before the game even kicks off, he's been subbed part way into the second half, in every game he's started this season and that simply isn't good enough from a professional athlete.

It's a cup game - I would expect Tommy will start in goal?

There's nothing wrong with Adam's fitness in my opinion. I honestly think he's as fit as he can be. He'll never be quicker that's for sure and it's his lack of pace that gets him into trouble far too often. At the moment I'd play N'Zonzi, Wilson and Palacios as our midfield three.

It really is desperate when all we have for a main striker is Jones. We'll never score enough goals to be a decent team! We must get a striker in the January window.

i just love how norwich fans think they play good football. We played better football than them when pulis was in charge! and it looks like hughton hasn't done his research properly either so it should be interesting.
i'm going 2-0 stoke anyway.

Went to the Watford game the other night.Norwich were 2 nil down and I thought Stoke would have no problem until they subbed Murphy on ..... Away fans got excited ..back of the net ...turned the game around...one to watch Murphy...heard it here first!

I think he would need to put in a blinder on Wednesday to forward his claims myself. If his direct competition is regarded as being Charlie Adam then i'll slightly adapt what you've put there.... This season i haven't seen anything in Adam to suggest he warrants a Premier League start personally. Constantly and consistently gets caught in possession, is out of position, the vast majority of his passes are misplaced and bloody awful, he's always well off the pace and his fitness is nothing short of disgraceful for a top level footballer. Ireland had a good game on Wednesday and should start tomorrow. In my opinion. I realise i'm maybe being harsh in quoting you as you obviously put that prior to Ireland playing on Wednesday however i would have put the same had i noticed your post before Wednesday night

I'd be shocked if we see any team that doesn't include Walters, though I'd be happy with the Pennant-Ireland-Arnautovic combination, too.
Beyond the starting XI, this feels, after today's results, like more of a must-win match to me. While it is still early goings, the difference between winning and going seventh, and losing and starting to feel like the bottom is close, is enormous. Especially given a very winnable match at home. It's the type of fixture we should win - and so I really think we must. Could be a big turning point, IMO.

Hopefully, it's: Begovic Wilkinson - Shawcross - Huth - Wilson Pennant - N'Zonzi - Ireland Arnautovic - Jones - Assaidi Subs: Sörensen, Pieters, Muniesa, Whelan, Palacios, Walters, Crouch --- Stoke 2 - Norwich 0. Att: 24456 Ref: Gustav Ollonborre from Örnsköldsvik, Sweden Linesmen: Brad Fillinhick from Bredna Moore close to Cupboardton and Neil Sadaster from Hyrth Bonnmill near Hispoding Goal scorers: Arnautovic in the 42nd minute and an own goal after a Pennant corner in the 78th minute. Curiosity: A men's choir consisting of 17 dwarfs gladly singing at half time at the away section. pork filet & rice//:musik

Begovic Cameron - Shawcross - Huth - Pieters(assuming he's good to go) NZonzi-Adam-Ireland Assaidi-Jones-Arnautovic
Though I wouldn't be to dissapointed if Crouch and Walters started.
A very winnable game, as long as our back-line is sharper than they were last week.
