Stoke City (h) pre-match thread

The biggest difference is that I can't wait to see us play these days.

It's been a chore for a couple years now.

Mentality change, on and off the pitch.

I'll see your last couple of years, and raise you the Stuart Pearce (and Beeny) season. Now THAT was a chore.

...and Slash from GnR of course

And Lemmy

And Lemmy

Maybe the 6 fingers enabled Lemmy and enable Slash to play guitar the way they do.

I wouldn't even risk putting Sergio on the bench tomorrow.

Any news on Delph?

Saw him at full training so I assume he will start.

 

[Henkeman]

And Lemmy

And Robbie Williams.

Oh fuck...

 

[Chippy_boy]

Probably the six fingers.

I still have nightmares of Rory Delap kicking SWP all over the park. Hard to think of a PL team I dislike more.

Actually I still have nightmares about Rory Delap, full stop. Steven King material right there.

Ederson
Stones
Nico
Walker
Delph
Gundogan
Kdb
Silva
Sane
Sterling
Kun

Ferna and Jesus rested for Napoli. Kdb/silva for Bernardo if we're comfortable.

Nothing but a city win this we look hungry and full of desire. Shawcross and Allen big misses for them.

When asked if Aguero would play, Guardiola said: "Maybe. He is not 100% but he has recovered quite well."

Midfielder Fabian Delph is a slight doubt because of a hamstring problem, although he too has returned to training.

Stoke are without midfielder Joe Allen, who suffered concussion during Wales' World Cup qualifier against the Republic of Ireland.

Defenders Ryan Shawcross and Bruno Martins Indi are unlikely to feature because of respective back and groin injuries.

'Kompany will let us know when he's ready'

Strange thing to say, does he mean there could be a mental issue regarding his injuries or just VK only really knows himself when he's 100%?
