My feeling is this. I'll think he'll want to preserve his attacking flanks, whilst maintaining a DM. My only hope is that the Cfs are up for the challenge of a decent attacking mid-fielders. Going on current league form, I guess not.. We'll see.

Not sure how Sandro and Dos Santos will fit in or any youngers such as Rose.

All valuable squad players, Sandro is Huddlestones deputy, Dos Santos versatility makes him useful. I can't see Rose getting much of a look in, I'd like to see him go out on loan somewhere.

How will your team line-up now

I don't really know...I suspect Eidur and Jermaine will take some time to get "Pulis fit", but once they are....uhmm...

---------------------- Jones/Fuller -----------------------

---------------------- Gudjohnsen -----------------------

Etherington -- Wilson -- Tuncay -- Walters/Pennant

----- Collins ---- Shawcross ---- Huth ---- Wilko -----

------------------ Sorensen/Begovic ---------------------

Not sure what Pulis has in mind for Wilson, whether he's going to sit in the middle in place of Delap or at right back. I can see Fuller becoming a super-sub.

^^No Delap :eek:

He doesn't warrant a place in the team at the minute, he's looked half dead but no doubt he'll be in Tuncay's spot more often than not.

Thats what my grandad said (stoke fan) but that throw and Jones's head=goals?

Delap can't even run these days, he's so slow. And I've seen it a few times now where he spacks his back launching one of his throws, and can't take any more in the game, rendering himself utterly useless for the remainder of the game.

Biz.Kid09 · 2 Sep 2010 at 14:45

Hmm really...the stress on his back must be incredible so like you say it must render him useless.

2/3 proper wingers now at the club + Jones = goals. That's the plan, anyway.

Is Etherington still gonna be first choice?

Spunj99 · 2 Sep 2010 at 18:04

First name on the team sheet

That looks like being the plan for now but I wouldn't be surprised if we end up seeing Gerrard back behind Torres with Cole on the left and Poulsen coming in.

And not that it's likely to happen but I'd have Maxi in the side ahead of Jovanovic or Kuyt.

Agreed.

Looking at that line-up it's hard to see why we sent Aquilani out on loan???
