Stoke build- up

At least Yoshida isn't starting. I get knocked on here every time for saying it, but Stoke are a very good side, decent line up they have out today and we will do well to get a point. Time for Pelle and Tadic to deliver

So it's either:

 

4-2-3-1 with Martina at right back and Bertrand at centre-half and Tadic and Long either side of Davis.

 

or

 

3-5-2 with Martina and Bertrand at centre-half and Davis at wing-back and Tadic behind Pelle and Long.

 

Either way it's a very confusing team when you look at the bench. Don't feel too optimistic here.

You dont talk about the team do you? you just constantly critisise everything about the team and manager and most of it is showing you up to be utterly clueless.

 

As far as my posting goes i post my opinion and comment when i chose as you seem to do but unlike you i try to be a bit accurate

I suppose we have to look forward to your looney rant against RK soon too....

And there you again ranting about other posters ...

Is Koeman serious when he says we are pushing for Europe. Seems to me he possibly thinks we don't have a great deal to play for so is trying out certain fringe players?

 

My only thinking is that he knows we're a momentum team and right now we have bad momentum so he's trying to do something different to stop the rot early before it extends into another few games.

Surely Soares is our best right back though and surely just putting Yoshida in at CB makes more sense than playing the inexperienced Martina and Targett at full back against a very tricky Shaqiri? Whilst also moving Bertrand out of his favoured position? Sorry but to me it seems absolutely ridiculous and massively weakens our defensive line up more than is already necessary.

Yoshida is on the bench - as is Cedric and Mane. It's all very confusing. I've no doubt there is a plan but I'd rather see Cedric and Mane on the pitch ahead of Martina and Tadic.

 

Martina is a bit taller and stronger than Cedric and hasnt been as bad as people make out.

Mane has been anonymous and Tadic deserves his chance - he started this season in great form and has since been in and out of the team.

He did it last season too when Morgan was out... He always shifted Alderweireld to CDM instead of getting a recognised CDM as sub.

Pelle pushing Long out wide is a retrograde step. Koeman continually putting pelle in pole position with others having to fit around him is an error.

 

Just gutting long being out wide.

he has been brilliant lately being the main striker.
