Stoke away (PL) Build Up

[Bender]

Salah dropped to the bench and Solanki starts

[Chris]

Criticism will be insane if we drop points now but can't play the same 11 non stop through this crazy run. Hopefully we get it done.

Robertson can't even get a sniff during a big rotation. Weird.

[labourRed]

Well we maybe have identified they are ****ing yard dogs and decided to wrap up Salah or he could be tired given what he's been putting in this season. Any criticism would be harsh without knowing the facts.

Solanke is a bit of a unit but surprised to see him start ahead of Sturridge all the same. Henderson dropped is also a big call.

Lallana not even on the bench too. Quite weird. We'd better win

Edit - ffs

Bit ott, it's not exactly a second string 11.

Good, I'm glad we're resting/rotating our players and identifying obvious weaknesses, i.e. a clearly unfit Henderson.

Solanke over Sturridge may be because 1) Studge is made of glass, but more importantly 2) Stoke have picked all their circus freak giants so we need solid headers of the ball.

Happy to see Mane back on the left. We might drop points but the way Spurs and Arsenal are this season it won't be crucial.

It's rotation ffs.

Six changes, star midfielder left out, top scorer left out, captain left out, and a lad up front who's never scored a goal in his life - can't deny it's quite bold

Is that a reference to Henderson? It's equally possible he's been either dropped or rested.

Same back 5, and there are only 2 positions where we aren't obviously playing our strongest players, ie Salah and coutinho who aren't starting.

[Buzzo]

Looked like we were doing collision training yesterday. Solanke is a big unit so imagine he will put himself about a bit.

Sturridge, Salah and Coutinho falling to the 'weds night away at Stoke in December' factor.

Sarah has played a lot this season so a good game to rest him.

Intriguing.

Ballsy.

[SB]

Hopefully the players coming into the starting side stake their claim to keep their positions for the weekend. Sadly that doesn’t seem to happen often, but it will this time
