Might as well start it now, get your teams down and what have you. I'm guessing Bassong and Taylor are back?

Harper

Beye Taylor Bassong Enrique

Duff Nolan Guthrie Guttierez

Own  Any one of our many s*** tall strikers

 

Never did I think I'd voluntary suggest Steven Taylor at CB again. But oh well.

I never thought I'd say this, but we need Carroll a big man up top is a necessity, we don't have the midfield for through balls.

Shearer will have had a full week with the squad up until this match, which I think will be nothing but positive. Taylor and Bassong will be back as well, so hopefully we'll not see Colo again, because I think Shearer has enough sense to realize Colo is not exactly what you would call an in form player.

 

I'll go out on a limb and say we'll take this with an impressive win which will boost our confidence and eventually fire us to safety.

 

3-0 or 4-0 to us.

I think we'll look a whole lot better next week with Bassong and Taylor back.

 

Imo, we should go for:

 

----------------Harper-------------

 

--Beye---Taylor---Bassong---Enrique--

 

----Jonas---Guthrie---Butt---Duff---

 

----------Owen-------Carroll---------

                Harper

Beye Taylor Bassong Enrique

  Guthrie  Butt  Jonas

                Owen

      Martins    Carroll

 

I don't think Colo will ever play for us again barring injuries. Part of me thinks his poor form is the main reason Wise lost his job.

 

That team should have just about enough height to deal with them and we should be leaving Owen, Martins and Guthrie/ Jonas forward at set pieces to pin them back.

We have to go for broke now. 4-3-3 with Owen, Martins and Carroll up front. No more Coloccini.

Beye      S. Taylor     Bassong    Enrique

 

Duff        Guthrie     Nolan        Jonas

 

                 Owen      Carroll

 

Subs:  Krul, R. Taylor, Geremi, Martins, Butt, Colocinni, Xisco

 

Bring Martins on later to replace Owen, run at tired legs.  We need Carroll up front to have any chance, because he need his physicality against the Stoke defence, and his ability to flick on to Owen.  At the end of the day, Owen can score goals.  And we need that now.

In hindsight I realize I may have formulated myself a bit oddly, yes. :coolsmiley:

Since we last played Stoke at the Brittania our mangers have been;

 

Allardyce, Pearson, Keegan, Hughton, Kinnear, Hughton (again), Shearer

 

:sadnod:

 

It's not saddingly impressive before you toss the amount of time passed onto there.

Taylor      Beye    Bassong    Enrique

 

 

        Guthrie    Butt      Duff

 

                      Owen

 

              Carroll      Martins

 

 

That's the only way to do it. Would love to drop Martins and Owen but there aren't any other options now that Lovenkrads is injured. There is little chance that they can score in 4-4-2 formation so Shearer should gather his courage and change the formation radically to get the goals flowing again.
