Dont know if this has already been covered but Deneyar has been ruled out for two to four weeks after an abductor muscle tear whilst playing for Belgium under 23s the other day. Things dont improve much on the injury front, time to give young Robson a run out.
These injuries keep piling up but maybe it might just force Moyes to play some young uns and to play Khasri (who so far he has not fancied for whatever reason).
Just heard this on the radio - ideally Robson but I feel it'll be Mr Jones - purely for his physicality against Stoke We both need 3pts and it'll be a dour physical battle - no prisoners taken
i would go for Kone JoS and Papy , with maybe two holding midfielders , then have Pva Rodders and Manquillo, with Kas and Defoe up top
I would also maybe prefer N'Dong to play in the Rodders role rather than the holding position, it mainly depends on who else is available.
The winner bit maybe but the goal bit could well happen. He's got goals in him, he's very attacking minded and he's a neat finisher. I don't think Stoke's defence will enjoy him running at them all game, no defence would. Nothing worse than a direct, aggressive attacker as far as a defence is concerned.
Exactly - Shawcross will not relish this encounter in his landmark appearance game for Stoke. If its a physical game lets hope we get no more injuries - we'll need to sign more medics -
