Electric Avenue Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 No Gabby or Benteke. Think we will see a Kozak/Bowery partnership today. That could go either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 What are stoke good at or what threat do they carry? Well this season they seem better than us at passing the ball and I guess they'll still be a danger from set pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you need height at the back where possible and especially at the back post so dropping baker could never be an option for this fixture. Agree? 100℅ agree. He was awful in the last game but there's no other option. This game should suit him more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Hopefully. So I think Luna needs to come out. Play baker there. Not ideal but vlaar missing is problematic I hate seeing baker at LB. Who would partner Clarke if we do that? Herd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchard Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 2-0 loss. We go again Or just give up. This not tell u that is squad is is light and not good enough? People bang on about why he didn't sign this player or that bottom line is group too small and needs quality. I don't think I've banged on about signing any player. Certainly not in the post you have quoted. Our wins this season, in general, seem to come from a bit of luck defensively and having a bit of quality up front from nowhere - such as a Bacuna free kick. Those things don't come along very often and our defence is absolutely dreadful. We will make Stoke look like Brazil passing wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I think Kozak would've buried the headed chance CB had against Fulham, so balls whipped into the box will either see him get on the end of those or see Delph or KEA get on the follow up, if they're alert enough.

Depends if that 'height' is going to give away stupid free kicks in dangerous positions, pass the ball to the opposition and score stupid own goals, I guess.
