Team & Prediction for Stoke

[Ryan]

Is there already a thread for this??? Not sure.

Anyway, will it be any different to this?

Mignolet

Glenjo
Toure
Agger
Enreekay

Lucas
Gerrard
Allen

Aspas
Coutinho
Sturridge


Guess Sturridge's fitness is the only concern. If he's no good, I'm assuming Borini. Or Ibe if Brendan's game enough.

Hopefully we win n'all cos Mark Hughes is a right cunt.

3-0

 

[Dahuge]

Personally I would swap Allen for Henderson. I don't think BR will do that so your team will probably be the one...

I think it will be a shite game but a 2-1 victory...

 

[rurikbird]

I would do the same, but start Kelly at RB and choose one of Enrique or Johnson for LB. They both were poor throughout this pre-season.

If Sturridge is not fit, I would start Aspas up front and Henderson at LW.

 

[Brizzle]

I think we will see:

Mignolet

Enrique
Agger
Toure
Johnson

Lucas
Henderson
Gerrard

Coutinho
Sturridge
Aspas

Subs to feature: Allen, Alberto and Ibe..

I haven't followed Stoke's transfers this season but think we will win 2-0.

 

[Oncy]

I agree with Ryans team.
2-1

 

[Piedro]

When did we last win on the opening day of the season?

Villa away?

 

[Piedro]

Anyway, I'd do what DaHuge says. Joe sideways on the bench please.

I think that will be the team but I dont like Allen in that position. I would have Coutinho there and Sterling and Aspas in the wide areas.

 

[BlitzAce]

Villa away?

Was it? I thought it was Stoke 4-0 at home. Villa away Gerrard free kick 🙂 always thought that was before Stoke 4-0.

 

[Frogfish]

I agree with Ryans team.
2-1

Ditto on team and result.

 

[BlitzAce]

Sorry Stoke wasn't their opening game that season. Must be Villa away.

 

[the_khl]

2-win us

 

[Piedro]

Was it? I thought it was Stoke 4-0 at home. Villa away Gerrard free kick 🙂 always thought that was before Stoke 4-0.

Last season was 3-0 defeat at West Brom. The one before was Sunderland 1-1 at home.

Can't remember before that. I just remember us beating villa away with that free kick. That must have been about 2008-2009 season though.

 

[Insignificance]

I guess Sterling Sturridge Coutinho up front. Rest gives Itself

 

[Dreambeliever]

Ryan's team although I'd prefer Hendo instead of Lucas.

 

[Aidan O' Neill]

Last time we won was 2008-2009. 1-0 away to Sunderland. As far I remember it was the Plessisaur's last start for us.

Anyway.

Mignolet

Johnson Toure Agger Enrique

Gerrard Lucas Allen

Coutinho Sturrdige (or Sterling if Studge is not fully fit) Aspas.

I reckon it'll be 1-1.

 

[Jerry Laser]

Mark Hughes at Stoke, I suspect it will take a while for them to adopt to playing proper football, so therefore hopefully a win for us. 2-0

Mignolet

Johnson Toure Agger Enrique
Lucas Allen
Gerrard
Aspas Coutinho
Sturridge

 

[Dreambeliever]

Oh ya we'll win easily btw and be top of the league and everyone will go into hyperdrive with excitement.

 

[Mors]

........................Migs
Johnson....Agger...Kolo....Enrique
............Lucas..........Gerrard
Sterling..........Allen...........Coutinho
.....................Aspas

I don't think Sturridge will be fit enough to start, I hope I'm wrong. I'd have put downing in there but thank fuck he's been sold, so I guess there's no one else to go there but Sterling really?

1-0 win

[Judge Jules]

Not really sure about the side but I reckon the OP probably has it about right.

Scrappy 2-1 win to us.

 

[Dirkus_Circus]

Last time we won was 2008-2009. 1-0 away to Sunderland. As far I remember it was the Plessisaur's last start for us.

 

[Squiggles]

Sturridge has to start, even if he's only at 80% fit.

We'll struggle to score otherwise.

Their pre-season form ^^^ alright but didn't play any big sides.

 

[Aidan O' Neill]

Didn't conceed any goals either.

 

[Aidan O' Neill]

Scrap that. Didn't read the first one.

 

[Ossi]

Ryans team.
2-0.

 

[Ossi]

Sterling shouldn't and won't start because of his latest shenanigans.

 

[Mors]

Sterling shouldn't and won't start because of his latest shenanigans.

If Sturridge isn't fit to start, then I can't see past Sterling getting a call up for the right hand side. As Aspas will go upfront.

Ibe will destroy Stoke.
