It'll be interesting to see how we line up and how long it takes for the new players to gel.
I'll be happy if we have a real go at them and show some intent. No more roll-overs please, Stoke.
HT 0-0
FT 1-1
Come on you Mighty Potters!!!!

The mistake we've been making is trying to play them at their own game.
This time we need direct football, and a bit more aggression and resilience in the middle. If he is going to stick with 3-4-3
Butland
Zouma Shawcross BMI
Cameron Allen Fletcher Pieters
Shaq. Choupo
Diouf

Who do we start up front is the big question. Berahino no confidence, Crouchy too slow so maybe Mame worth a shout. Might be to early for JesΓ© to start.
.....................Jack................... ...Zouma.......Ryan.....Indi....... .............Fletch......Allen........... ....Geoff.........................Eric... ..............Shaq........Eric.......... .......................Diouf...............

Last two teams are bang on the money for me. Diouf has the pace, strength and mobility to do a good job of harrassing their dithering defence, Choupo is worth an hour to show what he can do (before giving way to Jese) and Geoff has the athleticism to fill in at right wing back.

I agree with the the shouts for Geoff at RWB and Mame up front.
Just got a feeling it'll be the same team as last week except for the probable BMI-Geoff change.
Once the call has been made to ditch Saido, I'm not sure where he goes from there. So I think he'll leave it as long as he can (mind you, if the talk of a new striker is accurate, the day seems to potentially be coming regardless)

We'll win and do so comfortably tomorrow because I won't be there. Last game I missed was the 2-0 win v man united, the one before that was 6-1 v Liverpool and the one before that was 4-0 v Newcastle.
Stoke 3 Arsenal 1

Have to say V Man City and Man Utd two seasons ago he was brilliant. Bero looks lost so why not given it a go.

I think he will start Berahino tomorrow ... He's got to. Reckon if anybody is going to make way for one of the new boys I think it may be Bojan

Post by roylandstoke on Aug 18, 2017 21:19:19 GMT
IΒ΄d start Diouf.
The OP asks Bera or Bojan: IΒ΄d go Bojan.
Hughes will pick Berahino,
I hope Hughes is right.

Post by JesusisaStokie on Aug 18, 2017 21:20:39 GMT
Bojan is finished unfortunately, personally I'd go for Berahino once more before we get our new striker in (optimistic)

Depending on tactic to Hughes in this match, but Bojan as a false 9 could also be tempting when you think about all the skills among our strikers. Shaq as playmaker role 10, Bojan false 9 with wingers Maxim and jesè. Could be floating technical attacking football.

In fairness to Berahino this is only the 2nd game of the season and he needs to start as the main man for the first 10 imo.
If he still draws a blank after 10 games then he will have had 23 games for us. Then it's fair to give the next man the opportunity

Hopefully your senile manager keeps Ramadan Sobhi on the bench for this one. Will be doing us a grand favour! I just realized the combined ages of the two managers is over 120. Holy shit!

If he still draws a blank after 10 games then he will have had 23 games for us. Then it's fair to give the next man the opportunity I can see where you are coming from. I have defended Saido all along telling myself he needs games. However it must be getting on for 14/15 games he has played now in succession and he looks further away than ever from a goal. Confidence is shot. At Everton he looked lost at times, Bojan too, I think his number is up also. If the new lads are fit enough get them in there with Doofy up top, with our run of fixtures Hughes can't afford a misfiring striker for too long.

In a 2 up front I think we could all judge Berahino fairly but as the lone striker it's pretty disheartening isn't it. I'm not convinced he will ever score a goal for us but we have to keep faith for a little longer.
