I'm confident for tonight. Our main weakness is aerial balls and set pieces and I believe I'm right in saying Stoke have the lowest amount of goals from set pieces and headers in the premier league this season.

Looks like Ward, Flanagan and Smith are in line to start and let's hope Firmino bags a hattrick!

Come on red men!

EMS, have Stoke really scored less goals than us from. set pieces and headers? I'm gobsmacked if true as I thought we were the worst in the league for scoring from set pieces and headers.

{Ed001's Note - Stoke don't score many, they have this rep of being all free flowing and stuff, but they are nothing special and it will all fall apart when Hughes alienates a few players.}

Ouch ed01, is that some sour beans cooking?

{Ed001's Note - no mate, he is an arrogant man Mark Hughes, he likes to keep the coaching staff separate from the playing staff, so when things go wrong they do not feel togetherness and it all falls to bits.}

How does that work out then, do the ground staff do the coaching in their stead!

{Ed001's Note - they travel in their own coach etc, not as in they are not allowed near each other.}

That's absolutely mental ed, you'd think youd want all your staff unified.

{Ed001's Note - he has his ways and they sometimes work well for him, but it must be said, the minute things go bad, they fall apart because of it.}

{Ed001's Note - I know mate, I just realised that I had not made it very clear.}
