123-5 on a flat pitch, impressive start by us

Im pretty confident we have, we kept Stokes centrehalves pretty quiet and they are just as dangerous at setpieces.

Only works if the player is at a 'traditional' top club though.

Not really, can't even get in his club XI.

more of the same. 4th first season. CL beckons already. Osvaldo is the mutts nutts....31 league games 23 goals.

First Season, 44 fookin 2.....challenging?

That excuse of being cut incorrectly seems wrong as well looking at the pattern.

I don't agree with it at all either but its an unfair advantage non home nations have that we cant use isnt it.

Just seems we are again being awkward for the sake of it, every other country seems to do it to their advantage apart from the home nations.

I thought JRod was the least likely to be called up so a surprise there. Clyne, JWP and Shaws time will come

J-Rod is so frustrating, the amount of times he gets in good positions to only fluff it up is annoying, but 2 goals in 2 games shows he is getting in the right positions. Great energy in his play.

60% possession on their patch and we are the poorest team to play at the Britannia Stadium this season....lolz

Thought we should of won but was a decent performance. Think the early goal rattled us first 10mins and got their tails up but after that normal service resumed till about the 80th min when Stoke started to get the upper hand a bit. Think critism of GR is a bit OTT, took a few bad touches when first came on but looked confident running with the ball and not sure why he doesn't get fouls when he should, I thought for a sec that the ref wasnt even going to give a foul for the bodycheck. Not to mention he nearly scored the winner but for a **** offside decision and a top draw save from their keeper. MOM was our VW. Still unbeaten run continues and Hull at home next which won't be easy.

Gestated Loins Break Icy Love

You scored 37 out of a possible 60 Close but no cigar – YOU'RE A BIT OF A HIPSTER! You love a bit of tactical talk and wear your 1991-92 St Pauli away shirt with pride, but deep down there's part of you who prefers a cavorting mess of a 4-3 to a well-disciplined 0-0. You heathen, you. Still, you're well on your way to zen-like hipsterdom I'm not sure how its scored...

I think because we have purchased a player from Italy every season since the takeover MLG has decided its club policy

and we are done....again.

He looked a great player a few years back but think he done his ACL and not really heard too much of him since.

I doubt we will bring in other teams youngsters to develop on loan. I'm sure we would use Isgrove in that position if required. He looked good in his outings so far this year.

I hope we wouldn't as its a winnable trophy.

Boruc for me. Davis just isn't good enough imo and Gazz has the potential but again after last season highlights how far off Boruc he is. Lovren can be replaced with the Yosh who I am confident in. Gaston can cover for Lallana, in fact the run of games might benefit him if it did happen. Cork can cover the midfield easily enough. Chambers can cover Shaw/Clyne. Osvaldo and Rickie can cover each other.

works for me..

Called my old hamster Ruddock....although it escaped after a few weeks and never found again..

Just have to say that JWP has a mean cross on him. Both from set pieces and in the wings his balls were causing all sorts of problems. We actually look dangerous from way more free kicks this season, even with AL taking them also.
