Stoke City vs Aston Villa pre-match thread

[Morten]

I quite like this line up. It might not work, but certainly worth a try. Good to see Baker + Clark on the bench, hope Vlaar and Senderos can form a good partnership. Bent, Grealish and KEA to replace Weimann, Gabby and NZog after about 70 minutes, when we are cruising :-)

There's no goals in that line up

[PaulWinch again]

Shame there's no Cole.

[Toronto Villa]

No Okore?

Nah he's made of glass

I hope you are going to find something positive to say today

Such a stupid comment.

Why he's more or less been 100% injured since he came.

From one injury.

Saying he's "made of glass" suggests he's susceptible to repeated injuries, not just one which could happen to anyone.

Ok apologies I thought this recent injury was the same problem or related to the first ?

It was explained earlier that this injury isn't related the major one and is quite minor in nature.

[Tuscans]

I think we'll get battered in every department...I'm sure of it.

I don't think the back four have hardly if every played together, the midfield lacks any physical power or invention and the front 3 have been toothless for far too long.

Unless Andi carries on from the Hull game last season.

Okore was not that good against Parma. May be not match fit?

[Brian Taylor]

How are Senderos and Cissokho doing?

[Ron Manager]

Im listening to this on Radio Stoke. Believe it or not they are totally biased! Not a lot happening is there?. Our lot singing well. Apparently we are having our best spell so far!
