    A draw and I'll be very happy. 20 points from 10 games was beyond my wildest dreams!

    We should be looking to beat Stoke in terms of pace, technique, skill, ability/agility and passing. We SHOULD not try to match them in terms of being ''physical'' or ''getting into them'', etc.. look what happened when we tried that with Campbell in defence! We got battered 4-0.

    I'll personally play :

    Krul
    Santon Saylor Colo Raylor
    Cabaye Tiote
    Obertan Guti Marvo***
    Ba

    ***They can all interchange when needed to have a go at Stoke's slow defence, that would be a nightmare for the likes of Upson/Shawrcross/Wilkinson/Wilson who aren't the quickest. <ok>

    Play Raylor at LB because he'll be up against Delap/Whitehead who are both hard-workers but aren't natural wingers. Santon will have Etheringhton* in his back-pocket with ease IMO.

    Bench : Harper, Perch, Simpson, Guthrie/Gosling, Ben Arfa, Best, Ameobi.

    no chance at stoke !, they rough you up and play high balls in and hound your goalkeeper.
