Shogun, Past it? Well where Owen is concerned I'm not so sure. That said, having missed our last 3 home games due to a holiday, I've not seen that much of Owen YET. Come to think of it non of us have lol. But he's a natural born goal getter. It's like riding a bike, you never forget how to.... IF he plays and he gets half a chance??? we'll see on Saturday. He played 70mins today so I'm not holding my breath he will start the game. My guess for the Stoke team is.. Begovic Cameron Shawcross Huth ? we don't have a left back (Wilson is out broken leg and he's not a left back anyway) Walters Adam N'Zonzi Etherington Crouch Jones Team I would like to see is.. Begovic Wilkinson Shawcross Huth Cameron Kightly Adam N'Zonzi Etherington Crouch Owen but with TP and his wisdom, not a chance in hell of seeing that 11 start. IF only!
Striker Michael Owen, who has only managed 51 minutes since joining Stoke on a free transfer in the summer, says he is eager to make up for lost time and is in contention to face Everton on Saturday after the 32-year-old played in a friendly against Preston. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...e-City-and-in-contention-to-face-Everton.html
if he's fit he should play, this may be a game of half chances and we need someone who will take them.
Toughest game of the season at the Britannia I think. This will really test how good Ryan, Huthy and Bego are as Fellaini is playing very well this season and Baines is fantastic as he is every season. Need to double up on Baines. I don't think Everton will do what most teams do and virtually shut up shop, I think they'll go for it so it'll be a great test for us. I'd take a point as Everton are looking mighty good this season and it's great to see as I am fond of Everton.
Sgt I think? Apart from the other half of Liverpool, everyone likes Everton.. That said, let's be positive? KTF As for putting two player's to cover Baines.. errrrr What about the tall hairy fella nee nee. I would just go for the win. But I'm not Tony Pulis. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing as far as I am concerned. TOO many folks in this world that don't like T.P. Up n at em.. KTF
by the way, I don't like Stoke... However, there's nothing personal but I just dread every time we play you and not because of any debatable decisions but (between us) they're the most boring games of the season, 0-1 and 0-0 I think last season and some woeful football (from both) so I'm not looking forward to it. I'm debating whether to waste my time watching it. So I suppose I don't really dislike Stoke I just dislike watching us playing you. I've got nothing against the club, players or fans. Think TP is a bit of a prick but that doesn't make me dislike your club.
understandably you have hope for Owen and will back him but the man hasn't played a run of games for years and years and has been on the slide for so long. I honestly think if he played then he would go off injured right away. Is Cameron a right back? I thought he was centre mid for some reason.
Shogun Centre Midfielder.. but so was Wilson before he broke his leg.. Both are very good when played there. BUT as you say TP can be a bit of a prick and HAS played both at fullback. Hope the Wilkinson is back this weekend and to be fair, Cameron has done really well, even though he's out of position. As for Mr Owen, only time will tell I suppose. GOOD luck after this weekend.
Mirallas and Hibbert are injured so I am 90% sure we will line up Howard Coleman Jagielka Distin Baines Gibson Osman Naismith Fellaini Pienaar Jelavic
I think there is a difference between having doubts and wanting a natural LB so Wilson can excel in his natural role.
Games going as everybody thought It would I think we should be 2 up though Osman should be shot for missing that chance!! A bit of luck for the goal though with the deflection off Shawcross you guys work hard and are a bloody pain to play Id be happy for It to end now lol
Sorry mate a bit rich that coming from stoke...Huth stamp on Suarez was that ok? Not disputing the headbutt mind he'll get banned Im sure but lets not get Into you guys being sweet little Innocents
Headbutt, elbow and punch I think it was but its ok because its against Stoke. Fellaini will be banned for atleast 6 games............................enjoy!!!
Ive never seen anything like that in my life, hes headbutted, elbowed and punched someone all in one game.......................and they call Stoke dirty ha ha ha. Hope he gets banned for 10 games.
we were unlucky not to pinch that at the end, Everton were the better team first half but thought we played well second half and could have got all 3 points. Good result though!!!!. UTPsssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
