Here's the team, a few changes and Derry is back. Cesar dropped. Green, Bosingwa, Samba, Hill, Ben Haim, Townsend, Mbia, Derry, Hoilett, Taarabt, Remy
Well you can see that he wants Green in goal next season and Ben Haim to play, Derry to come back and play again. So much for not thinking about next season till we are down. Disappointing.
I applaud the inclusion of Derry, at least he'll give 100% which is more than can be said for some. Harry may well believe that todays game is going to be a battle (I know I do) and he wants a bit of determination from the team. Additionally, he may well think that, if we can get through this game we might need some more of the talented players for the next 4 fixtures. U Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs!
that's a white flag line up if ever I saw one. why the **** did he play park and Granero last week then?
Stoke offer an almost unique challenge and I reckon that influenced the midfield. The attack is pretty much what you'd expect. It looks decent to me.
Yep my thoughts entirely. Even looking to the future surely he could have stuck Diakite and Onouha in.
Diakite and Onouha have been lightweights. At least Derry gets stuck in. Lets not forget that Stoke are a side that are not averse to giving teams a bit of clog. If I were H I'd want to protect some of the squad for the next 4 games.
Good team. Except it seems Jenas and both Traore and Favio must be injured. I'm pleased Adel is playing and Derry is selected in front of Park. M'bia and Derry should give us the necessary grit in central mid, and there's enough of creativity ability with Adel, Hoillet and Townsend, with Remy hopefully our match winner.
We have started very well, Stoke is obviously shyte. Brilliant free kick attempt by Adel! How close was that?!
