Stoke City (h) pre-match thread

Think we should rest Silva or KDB

Got to be KDB. D.Silva has had a rest this week being suspended for Spain. KDB has played every match for us and Belgium.
Time for B.Silva to come in.

Agreed, would be interesting to see both Silva's work together

B.SIlva, D.Silva, Sterling, Sane, Jesus.... against Stoke and there set pieces. We can play them off the park but it only takes one corner or a free kick and we could be in trouble.

4 people now think we will lose.
How does even the worst self-deprecating City fan get this low?
Unbelievable Jeff

err, because they have an opinion? It might not be the same as yours or mine, but it is as equally as valid

Yeah, not sure there's much point in having a pre-match poll if people are going to be castigated for their opinions. I had to make the poll anonymous so that users weren't named and shamed!

Bring back the name and shame :-)

End of the day, I like to be realistic with my views and not be a happy clapper so I don't always click win (I obviously have for the Stoke game) but it would be good if you could see the names so you can ask them the reasons for saying we will lose. I would be more than happy to discuss my views and opinions if I ever put down a loss in the prediction poll.

This was a dire match last year and following on from an international, where, maybe, our players are a little off form, I suspect it may be just as dire this time. I hope that isn't the case and we take these buggers to the cleaners, but winning is the most important thing.

Yeah, I think this could be a tough game coming after an international break, especially with our South American contingent coming back late. Got a feeling it will be a scrappy affair, so just need to grind out the win as you say.
