Need to back up 2 good results with a win.
Huth might be back?
Presume Wilson WILL be back.

Hope Guidetti starts in a 442 upfront with Crouch, the lad deserves a chance!

Nothing to fear in this game, I'd keep the same line up if Huth/Arnie aren't back.

I still maintain we need to win the Man United win cancelled out our defeats to Palace and Sunderland. We could do with another win in the bank going inti Man City and Arsenal.

Swansea v cardiff 0-0 would do. Sendings off and hamstrings all over the place.

Hope Guidetti starts in a 442 upfront with Crouch, the lad deserves a chance! Disagree. Keep Walters in the hole as it compliments Whelan and Adam in the midfield two. They are starting to form a good partnership and Walters is crucial to that in the hole. |

Huge game.
Swansea are clearly going to be relegated and this is an invitation for us to take 3 points.
Let's not bodge this up Stoke and reduce the benefit of the unexpected (and excellent) 4 points from the last 2 games.

Huth definitely won't be back Will. shame He'll be doing light training in Dubai in the hope that he could back for the Citeh game. |

He'll be doing light training in Dubai in the hope that he could back for the Citeh game. Is this the whole squad off to Dubai for a few days, Paul? Or just the Huth family? |

Beats a sunshine break to Benidorm I suppose! Remember when we went to the Gulf for a week in the first season up.   |

Biggest game of season? Twitchy bum time if we lose, can sleep a lot easier and be aiming for top half if we win.
Huge.

It wont happen but id like to see a 4-4-2 with Arnie & Walters up top together, Walters can win the ball in the air just as well as Crouch. Arnie will run the channels & offer a completely different threat.

Let's not bodge this up Stoke and reduce the benefit of the unexpected (and excellent) 4 points from the last 2 games. Clearly? They currently sit three places above us, albeit with just one more point. Think you need a trip to spec savers! |

Definitely the most important game this season since the home match against Sunderland. STOKE MUST WIN
Everything is going for them now and they have got to find a way of ensuring they score repeatedly without letting Swansea in.
Hope MH picks the same team or brings Huth back if he's ready.
They mustn't be stupid and be over confident they will win. They must play with commitment as though their future lives in the top league depend on them winning and not be casual.
Definitely don't want N'Zonzi back in the side.

They looked good yesterday, but Cardiff were so so poor. I mean really poor. Defensively, Cardiff haven't got a clue. I'm really glad that Caulker is playing for them. He's showing Woy what we already knew. He looked good in that Spurs defence, next to good defenders like Dawson, but shoved in a shit team, he's fucking awful. The best way to sum up Cardiff defensively, is pointing out that Nathan Dyer is 5 ft 5, yet scored a header...
Swansea will be full of confidence as you can imagine. We just need to play our own game. If Huth is back, he should probably start unless fitness is a big issue. I still worry when watching Wilson. He started so well, yet I feel he's dropped off a bit. If Arnie is back he has to start. He needs to build on his excellent recent performances.

And instead of going where 5 star is the Flowerpot didn't we go to the shittiest of the Emirates where there's no oil? Good memory, Bayern... Looks like they went to an oil-less emirate called Ras al Khaimah. While many teams come to the UAE for winter sunshine in either Abu Dhabi or Dubai followed by hordes of press, Stoke City have arrived under the radar to train in Ras al Khaimah. The Potters hope to use the midwinter training camp to prepare for their must-win Premier League clash against Spurs a week today. And while the players can train alongside the emirate's mangroves, boss Tony Pulis may well use the trip to let off some steam. Pulis was left fuming after seeing his struggling side let slip a 1-0 lead against Chelsea at the weekend. |
