January 24th, 2010 Britannia Stadium 8:45AM EST ITV One, Setanta Form (all contests)... Stoke -- L L L W W D Arsenal -- W W W D W W Expected lineups... Stoke -- Sorenson, Huth, Faye, Shawcross, Higgenbottom, Delap, Whitehead, Diao, Etherington, Sidibe, Sanli Arsenal -- Fabianski, Silvestre, Campbell, Senderos, Traore, Eastmond, Denilson, Rosicky, Vela, Walcott, Eduardo Ramifications... Win or go home!
I would like Wenger to try and win the FA but you can't blame him for resting our starters considering the insanity of our current schedule... Hopefully he fields a stronger lineup than the one I predicted.
Sounds like Sol Campbell probably won't play tomorrow. Jack Wilshire, Frank Coquelin, Kyle Bartley, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Gilles Sunu all expected to be dressed, along with Silvestre, Denilson, Walcott and Vela.
Did Traore even play today? Half the game it seemed he was up in the stands eating popcorn. Every break Stoke had came from going down his side of the pitch. Dunno where he was. Can't hang it on him, though. A multitude of small mistakes became one poor performance. Seems like we can't win silverware when we're regularly putting B-teams against A-teams, which I suppose is how it should be.
