MC11 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Got to stick with Lennon & Cleverley for this. Both have played well enough to earn spots. dlblue and Btay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlblue Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Same side that Beat Newcastle for me. No changes needed unless Rom is injured. Cleverly and Lennon's work rate was one of the factors we won that game, Need the same against Stoke. Strong Bench with Kev back and Geri.

chalkpie Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 If Rom is out, I'd seriously consider moving Ross up top in a false 9 and put Geri in behind him keeping the solidity of Lennon and Cleverley either side. Too logical for RM Plus he didn't think of it........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Got to stick with Lennon & Cleverley for this. Both have played well enough to earn spots. Your right of course, but imagine having Kev one side and an inform Lennon the other with Lukaku up top and a confident Barkley behind.

nyblue23 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Your right of course, but imagine having Kev one side and an inform Lennon the other with Lukaku up top and a confident Barkley behind. Yeah I think Cleverley should be playing alongside one of McCarthy (just back from injury) or Barry (old) while Mirallas starts on the left with Lennon on the right. Gives flexibility with subs, too, as Mirallas can be subbed off for an attacker (hopefully Niasse) or whichever DCM is left out of the starting line-up, depending on the scoreline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacs Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 It seems we say it every week but this is a massive game. We need to do what we haven't done in a long time and win two league games in a row. I honestly believe we can do it this week and that might be the catalyst for a really strong finish to the season.

Deacs Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 i remember the days when we'd say it's stoke away 3 points. but now Hughes has done a fantastic job recruiting and transforming their style. I'd be happy with a draw to be honest. Give the new boy some minutes as well. Robles Coleman Jags Mori Baines McCarthy Barry Gerry Barkley Lennon Lukaku Sub - Niasse for Lukaku at some point Hopefully Lukaku's fit, and I would probably play start TC with Lennon on the right. As much as I love Del I think TC might be a better option to start against Stoke, and then we can unleash Del and Niasse against tired defenders in the 2nd half. I've a good feeling for this one.

jofanon Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 There aren't many Stoke players I'd have over the ones we already have. We should win but I'm going for a loss as they are a million times more resilient than we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elston Gunnn Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 I'll hope for a happy day with Everton winning 4-1, Sunderland miracle draw at Liverpool, Watford draw at Spurs, and Southampton draw with WHam. Bingo, 7th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
