Absolutely. I'm not angry with the players, I'm fuming at MP. Disgraceful starting line-up. The team that started against Hull would probably got a draw or win.
Full strength team, no-one being rested/protected.
If no-one gets injured/suspended, I'll be very happy and those that called it will tell me "I told you it was ok to play a full-strength team."
If a key player gets injured/suspended, I'll say "I told you it was too risky to play a full-strength team."
It's not that simple. More likely for a key player or two to get injured or even suspended. Not to mention we want the team to be as fresh as possible for Saturday.
Premiership survival is the number 1 priority for teams like Stoke (and us!) so it would take silly money for them to sell Shawcross to us. And we tend not to want to spend silly money.
Bollocks. Two of Citeh, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arse will be out. The 2 remaining will have much bigger fish to fry. Oh, and has anyone mentioned Wigan?
