Rich_D Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Wouldn't be surprised to see Cuellar at RB to combat the aerial threat from Stoke. NRC to batter their midfield. Bent to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Pretty sure it was said when he went there that he would be ineligible for the Villa game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parisvilla Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 thought we'd win pretty convincingly until the news today that GMac will be in charge. probably will settle for a draw now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Don't know what to think about this game now. On one hand Houllier going into hospital will disrupt the momentum we had going and I have no idea if Gary Mac will be up to the task of managing us for that game. On the other hand, I think it could also spur the team on to victory as they'll undoubtedly want to win for Gerard. Not to mention the atmosphere should be good as everyone will be united over this. Oh yeah, and we still have to get revenge for the way we were cheated out of a point at their place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbsboots Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I'm hoping it will spur the team on myself. It probably will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 We could just shoot Delap. That should eliminate their threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Nightmare senario with Gary Mac at the helm for the run in. What if GH does resign at the end of the season and under Gary Mac we win the majority of our remaining games? Who would GH then recommend to take over?

We just tell The General that Houllier was taking heavy medication if he suggests Gmac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 We will lose with Mac coaching. I wonder what line-up he will choose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbsboots Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I can't see him changing much. He knows his job is already on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 He knows his job is already on the line.Really? To be honest I know very little about Gary Mac's ability. He always seems to have been rated far less than Houllier on here although we have no way of knowing what he's like as an assistant manager. As far as motivation goes he doesn't need to do anything. Tactics I'm a little worried about, but I expect he'll just keep things the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makouns_grin Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Are Stoke shit away from home? I dont really like Pulis, he reminds me of the stubborn know it all manner of Martin O'Niell; shout at players rather than talk to them style of management. Works for him i suppose. I've not looked at their away record, any good? They did ok away at Wembley mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbsboots Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 What is there to dislike about Pulis, mg? I have a lot of respect for the man. Yeah, he may not play the prettiest football, but he keeps Stoke safe which is all he cares about. He's an old-school manager who doesn't take any crap from players and it works. Today footballers are all flash and bling. He's one of the old-schoolers and only a few are about these days. Plus, anyone that shows up at halftime to motivate his side on the same day his mother passes away has some balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
