Same team. Might work actually. What's up with Sakho again? Strop or injury?

Berahino to score today? Based on the fact he isn't currently. I heard sakho is injured. And to think we are looking at a third highly injured player in sturridge for next season.

Like the fact that there are no changes. Calleri needs a run of games if he is going to show what he's capable of. 10 minute cameos are no good for a players confidence.positive that noble doesn't start.

I know but we haven't exactly looked that dangerous with others playing up front this season have we. I just don't think he has had enough game time to judge him properly.

Calleri's running off the ball and hold up play has been good, he tends to snatch at things in front of goal though which is a damn pity.
We're pretty good so far, solid at the back but just lacking anything clinical in the final third.

We have been the better side first half and should be at least two up. But Stoke can't be that bad in the second half. our poor finishing could come back to haunt us. COYI

and Lanzini and Mesuaku are going well. A good first half but we really need someone to finish a movement. Adrian hasn't had that much to do because of our defence so hopefully we can keep another clean sheet.

I turn my head for one minute and Arthur Masuaku is not out for the second half. He was our best player for the last two matches.

got to admit he is a bloody good keeper but we really need to put those shots away.

Maybe we can score through the penalty method.

With Crouch on now, it's going to become more tactical for the last 15.

Ok you got me Calleri is PANTS - I just wanted him to score and prove everyone wrong. Mind you snodgrass is no better - another Bilic master stroke why not put on fletcher ?

maybe the dickheads will kee a couple of young kids at home next season rather than send them all out on loan, we could have done with them this season especially when we have a couple of crocks up front.

On the upside: good defensive performance for the second time out, and one more point, inching towards safety. Adrian is my MOTM, and the whole outfit has looked better since he's been back.

On the downside: we'll be in 15th at the end of today no matter what happens between Palace and Burnley. Only 3 points above Burnley now and we have to face them away the last game of the season. Hull have kept pace --can they make up six points on us in three games?

You'd have to have Swansea down for a loss at Old Trafford, in which case they need to make up 9 points on us in 3 games. But if we had won, then we would be mathematically safe now, and we're not. It's frustrating to see Bournemouth soar into 10th instead of us.

Predicted final position: Still thinking 15th

We'd be in a world of pain right now. The only reason I can justify the 0-0 of the last two games is because we don't have any strikers. But WHY don't we have any strikers ... ??? ??? ??? AAARRRGGGHH

he can't be as bad a shot taker as Calleri, just can't understand why Snodgrass was brought on. To be honest I can see why Antonio and others are upset about how much he is being paid, the way he has been playing he should be paying the club.

first thing he does when he comes on is give up the ball being offside. No better than Calleri.

Ayew was our biggest threat in front of goal,baffling decision to take him off...snodgrass is terrible,he should never play again imo..we are just lucky that the ref didnt fall for shaqiris dive at the end-cheating git!!

Biggest mistake from bilic was taking ayew off!ludicrous. The only player on either side looking like he was gona score! Why change it? Noble didn't have to come on. Calleri off push ayew up front. Masaku was our best player first half, I'm assuming he was injured but we are talking bilic here. Cresswell was struggling. Nort, did well so did Reid, ayew was dangerous, and I liked fernandes, kouyate in the middle of lots and Lanzini was neat and tidy. Bilics second half subs killed us attackingly. Calleri can't shot or even use his left. Rabona was pathetic.

Calleri can't use his left foot??
Have you had a gander at Ayew?
We paid £20 million for someone that can't use his right foot....Have a look at him dribbling the ball, he's f**ked if it's on his right side - Remember the sitter he missed against Leicester for one, on his right side, a simple tap in, skied it over the bar and cost us a point.

Irons it's not just the case that calleri can't kick with his left it's the fact he wouldn't even try, would rather do the Rabona instead! If ayew skies one with his at least he is willing to try. I'm not sure calleri even has a right foot based on his shooting today! It's was the worst piece of shooting I've ever seen and it happens every time he plays. I didn't see ayew said sitter I was on holiday.

Worst shooting performance you've ever seen? Not for me, I'm old enough to remember people like Sandy Clark and John Radford....Heh.
Thing is, we paid £20 million for Ayew Calleri is on loan - Ayew will chip in with the odd goal here and there but is he worth the money we paid for him? I don't think he is, you'd expect more than a trier for that sort of outlay (and that is taking into account his early injury problems since signing for us).
Calleri will go at the end of the season no doubt, he looks too lightweight for the Prem but I think it's obvious to one and all we are crying out for a quality fox in the box striker badly....I can't remember the last one we had....

I think Ayew is worth 20 mill. But only because 20 mill doesn't get you very much at all nowadays. I'm like you and feel all pro footballers should be able to kick with their left foot. Jesus they have all that spare time in a day but won't use it to develop their weak foot! Only my opinion but I do feel ayew will be an asset for us. He will score goals and will be dangerous. 20 mill is the minimum we should be paying for players. Some of the teams around us are happy to play that for full backs!

i forgot about the goal scoring machines Radford and Clark :o)

I think Ayew will come good but Calleri wont make a striker for as long as he has a hole in his backside! The sad thing is, as previously posted, it looks like Slav is going to buy him!
