Liam Lawrence and Ricardo Fuller on the bench for Stoke.

Lawrence was one of their best players last year and the best deliver of a dead ball in their whole squad. Fuller is a threat on the counter.

Suprised they do not start.

Their line up is geared to rough us up. Beattie and Cresswell together make it a bit obvious.

Poor Ayala.

Because they have a lot more experience.

Sky Sports Soccer Special team being nice and complientary about our bench again. The presenter, whoever he is, was just vile in his smugness as he read out our bench then said Spurs' was better

[Exiled_red]

If we sit back like Sunday, I can't see us getting a result. We need to be positive and go for the ****ing throats.

We don't do that enough in these types of games which is why we tend to struggle, we need to play at a high tempo

[JohnDoe]

No Lawrence for the dead ball delivery though?

Anyone can hoof it.

[Bender]

we on most occasions let the opposition score first then go for it

[lickedlollipop]

c'mon you mighty reds!
