Mick Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 We can and should win this and I don't see any reason why we'll not win it and win it comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 -------------------- Krul ---------------- Debuchy -- Willo -- Colo -- Santon Sissoko -- Anita -- Cabaye -- Gouffran ------- Shola Ameobi --- Remy -------- Formation: 4-4-2 Pretty sure that'll be it, hopefully get to see HBA for more than 10 minutes at the end too.

TRC Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 We really should not revert to a 4-4-2 after the performance at the weekend. We are at home to stoke, fuck what they will be doing, let them worry about us, they are absolute shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Gouf Remy Sissoko Cabs HBA Anita Santon Colo Willo Debuchy Krul If he doesn't go with Shola Should win, would love to hammer them, though will inevitably be 2-0 at half time then a nervy 2-1 finish Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Same performance as the 11/12 season again this lot please. Absolutely battered them from the first minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 No doubt he will start Shola instead of Benny, even after Benny's amazing little cameo yesterday and if Benny is being a pro in being benched then its time to reward him. Only one way to find out if he has listened and learnt on how Pards wants him to play and that is to start him and see. A fully fit and ready to go Benny vs a tired Stoke could be epic.

Ally Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I think he'll go with Shola for the physical presence against Stoke's big lads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Yeah same. Feel he will keep Ben Arfa on the bench for his bit of "magic" and to take advantage of tired legs late on. The only problem I have with that is I fear, eventually Ben Arfa will get fed up, and being so close to January I wouldn't want to lose him. That little cameo yesterday showed hes far too good to be sat on our bench every week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 They are in decent form atm, still should beat them but it won't be easy. I expect a draw, but we really need to win to keep in touch especially with Arsenal up next game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Every Boxing Day, there's bound to be a team who get whacked by 5 or 6. Wouldn't be surprised if Stoke have a hangover, have a terrible trip up North and get absolutely tonked by us. Hope we give theses soulless cunt a Christmas battering. Wasn't the win on Saturday a rare occasion where we have won by more than 2 goals or scored more than 2? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 So happy it's on Brazilian tv. Get in. Hope we play as we did against Palace. I'd start Ben Arfa this game, move Sissoko centrally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Hopefully someone absolutely batters Jon Walters, the shit try-hard whinging cunt. Hopefully we score with our first attack so I don't have to become incredibly agitated at watching Begovic waste time like it's going out of fashion.

Oh I know Krul is bad and happy to admit it but Begovic and Jaaskelainen are easily the worst two culprits through black and white eyes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Tough game, they are picking up a few points and have a little bit of a game going on. Can see it being a draw. 21pts is much better than what i expected from them so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
