Stoke game build up

[The_weatherman]

how can anyone expect us to score with that team ?

.....................................reina........ ........................

.....degen...........carra................agger... ..........aurelio...........

..........................lucas..............masch erano.......................

...........kuyt...................aquilani........ ............maxi..............

....................................ngog.......... ...............................

even looking at my own team makes me wonder how we're going to score

I am going to be optimistic today, N'Gog is due a goal and if Aquilani gets to play Gerrards role he might get some shooting opportunities, we score two today at least.

There are at least five players in that team who are capable of getting on the scoresheet today. Maybe today's team have something to prove to the manager and we might actually play some decent football? I'm over the negativity now, I'm confident we'll get a win today.

Play Pacheco behind N'Gog

I'd bring him on early in the second half, give him a decent run out.

we need our players to stand up and be counted. Stoke will batter us but we've got to match them and not be afraid to put our foot in where it hurts.

Masher is back and he will no doubt stiffen the midfield and we need aquilani to step up today and bring some leadership to the forward play.

...........masch-aqua
........pacheco-kuyt-maxi

What time would you like us all to hug you?

I'd be surprised to see Maxi in the squad knowing Rafa, but then these are desperate times.

If he does he could be a hero today.

I was hoping we could all have a massive virtual Est group hug just prior to kick off?

Not sure how accurate this is from The Guardian but you have to wonder where our goals are going to come from.

Aquilani playing the Gerrard role?

Cavalieri, Gulacsi, Riera, Darby, Kyrgiakos, Degen, Ayala, Rodríguez, Spearing, Plessis, Pacheco.

Christ I hope thats not the team, I can see weaknesses all over the shop, particularly down the left and in central defense. One things for sure, we will concede if this is the starting 11.

what are the ground rules regarding reacharounds and frottage?

[JohnDoe]

Looking forward to our dynamic right flank of Carragher and Kuyt

[Pablo]

what are the ground rules regarding reacharounds and frottage?

It's all part of the modern day game right?
