Onuoha is useless at FB but can do a job for us at CB imo. He can tackle, head and has pace but is just cr@p at running with the ball. I'd be tempted to play Hill there but between him and Nelson they'd get done for pace. Ferdinand's errors have cost us too many points this season so he's a big no no.

So:

------------------Cesar-------------------

Bosingwa---Nelson---Onuoha----Traore

Taarabt---Granero----Diakite----Faurlin

------------Cisse-------Hoilett-----------

Ferdinand above Hill when you need to battle ?? No Faurlin ?? some people just as blind as MH
Zamoro is playing with painkillers and it shows, no way he will be able to play a hold up game against Huth and Shawcross

To defeat Stoke we have to outplay them, get that midfield in hands with Diakite, Granero and FAURLIN.

Cesar
Bosingwa/Dyer Nelson Hill Traore/Fabio
Faurlin Diakite
Granero
Hoilett Cisse Taarabt

--------------------Cesar---------------------
--------Anton---------Nelsen------Hill--------
-------------------Diakite---------------------
--------Faurlin---------------Granero--------
Hoilett------------Taarabt------------Traore
-------------------Cisse-----------------------

Diakite is not really a holding midfielder though,he always looks to get forward and he can't tackle.

Alex Goode

Mike Brown Manu Tuilagi Anthony Allen Toby Flood

Phil Dowson Owen Farrell Geoff Parling Owen Farrell

Dan Cole Danny Care

Should get a result up there with this line up...

I would replace Diakite with Faurlin simply because Stoke are physical team and there is a possibility Diakite maybe sent off. Mackie would really be helpful as well.

Wasn't that the problem against WHU Faurlin Granero bullied to many footballers and not enough muscle until Diakite came on and then sadly got sent off but when he was on we got back in the game and looked likely to get something out of the game

also our best player Sunday and needs to stay in the team
