Where on Earth did you read that?

The vast majority of us are expecting a hammering, a few are saying there is a chance of a draw or even nicking it - but not hammering you!

Why no hyypia? Bit to soon to throw Skyrtel back in and why no Keane

I think this is going to be a much tougher game than it seems.

Stoke have already beaten Arsenal and were unlucky against Utd. Have they played Chelsea?

Anyway, I think it will be a tight game and might take the odd goal.

chelsea won 2-0 at the britannia

Source? ..... if you're right , Rafa has his reasons and plans but, if you're just posting "^#*% " to wind folks up then shame on you!

There are no news in Finnish media that Hyypiä isn't playing. If he is out then Carra should play on the right, Agger and Skrtel on the middle and Aurelio on the left.

And if Keane isn't travelling then put Torres up front alone.

Bit risky playing Torres against these yard dogs, still dont suppose they will be causing us much threat without fuller.

Sami can only be injured if he's not in the squad.

Even if he wasn't selected to start (and i'll be surprised if that's the case) he would be on the bench in case we needed to hang onto a lead and head a few away.

I also don't see why Keane wouldn't be there. We've got Insua, Arbeloa and Alonso out of the squad and 7 subs to find.

perhaps a place for Hamill on the bench?

The whole madness today has ensured this game takes on added significance, we really need these 3 points...
the stokies seem up for it and it will be up to our lads to match them

Reina

Carra Sami(700 Not.out) Agger Doss

Masch Lucas

Ryan Steve alberto

Keane

Maybe Dirk for ryan i don't no, would rather Torres doesn't start because then if we struggle we can put him on against tired legs, but not necessarily in place of keane

Why? No worries playing Nando if he s to be kicked so be it can't wrap the lad in cotton wool time to get back on the scoresheet no matter what!

you've got a point there remember his first hattrick?

Booted all over the pitch by Bikey of reading and then.... well you know the rest

markiv · « **Reply #294 on:** January 10, 2009, 03:28:51 AM »

Reina

Carra Sami Agger Fabio

Lucas Masch

Yossi Gerrard Riera

Keane

markiv · « **Reply #295 on:** January 10, 2009, 03:30:24 AM »

I think yossi deserves to start ahead of kuyt .. he's been really good the last few games he has started .... I have a feeling even Babel might get another start

Whatever team runs out tomorrow, one thing is imperative. The lads need to back Rafa up. As has been said by many before me, it needs to be a siege mentality now and with the greatest respect to Stoke, we need to beat them. Pile the pressure on that mach at the toilet on sunday. There has to be 100% commitment from everyone for the full 90. No passengers, not anymore.

Come on you Redmen, you can do

WE BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!! Y.N.W.A!!!

Good film that, 'What fucking tool?' etc

What's all this about no Keane travelling?

Dave Mc · « **Reply #303 on:** January 10, 2009, 09:13:14 AM »

Hope this rumour that Keane's not in the skwaad is unfounded.

robbie96 · « **Reply #304 on:** January 10, 2009, 09:21:10 AM »

OK...last ~~guess~~ educated speculation on todays lineup

Reina
Carra Skrtel Hyypia Aurelio
Masch
Kuyt Gerrard Riera
Keane Torres

Subs: Cavalieri , Benayoun, El Zhar, Babel, Agger, Ngog, Lucas
*assuming that "scott" is wrong about Keane?!

Edit: There XI players...although I think XII could catch on...we could be trailblazers
