Butland Cameron Wilson Muniesa Pieters Whelan Van Ginkel Adam Walters Arnie Diouf
If Wilson is injured, guess it will be Wollscheid and wouldn't be massively surprised with a cautious Sidwell instead of Van Ginkel.

That's ths side I expect too, interesting that for all the comings and goings since we played them at the end of last season that would be the same staring line up as 10 short weeks ago but with Van Ginkel for N'Zonzi and Wilson for Shawcross.

Refining the 3-5-2 in the run up. If Arnie's taken a knock, and have I heard Bardsley's crocked? It's easy. ---------------Butland---------------- ------Cameron Wollscheid Wilson--------- -Johnson--------Whelan------- Muniesa- -----------Afellay---- Adam------------ -------------Walters Diouf-------------- {or Joselu Diouf}. Playing to our strengths. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/KYqg3pYeaerc5lD_P7BR.gif) I suggested that a while ago and got blasted. Still think it might work. But Hughes would have tried it preseason if it was an option. So doubt we'll see it.

That's exactly the team me n mar mate 'decided' on. I also expect Joselu and possibly Bojan / Affellay to make a cameo?

Forgot to add SJW is crucial in these matches, he'll set the standard in workrate, which hopefully the new signings will learn from...

But Hughes would have tried it preseason if it was an option. So doubt we'll see it. We generally seemed to play two banks of five in the pre season games, so I wouldn't rule owt out, or put too much store in friendly formations. With the injury list as I understand it then I think our remaining squad could lend itself to such a formation. It's not a table football set-up. When Bardsley plays his starting position is on the half way line, so we generally set up to cope with three at the back anyways. And I think Johnson's inclusion will highlight this further. It's about the personnel, we alter shape to suit, whether in defence or attack. I know it's unlikely to happen but I think the 3-5-2 in the current situation is worthy of discussion.

Interesting that journalists still saying things like Liverpool were intimidated by Stokes power and intimidation in the 6-1 mauling, I thought we just absolutely annihilated them in a footballing sense! It's an article calling for benteke to start on Sunday as his physical presence is required against us, funny that I can't ever recall him having much joy in the past against us, I would be more concerned if Ings started.

Just don't give Walters the opportunity to miss another crucial season-opening penalty against them.

Wonder if dippers will have this 11: Mignolet Moreno Skirt Sylla Clyne Henderson Llana Coutinho Ferminio Milner Benteke
Not exactly terrifying unless the front 4 click, but that's asking alot. Hopefully 2-1 Stoke if we defend well.

We must win. We simply have to. Emre Can and others on the dippers are flapping their cocksuckers about Stoke and Stoke fans, saying how they owe us for what we did to them in May, and for how our fans treated them. They are skirts, every last one of them. I would love nothing more than to do them again.

1-1 this would be a great result considering we are far from ready for the start of the season. Once we are ready we can take 3 points at Anfield
