Easiest Opening Fixture

Comment Deleted by Site Moderator

Yes they are a poor team, we should be up for it and try not to get into a physical game with them. Early goal always helps. Good start is essential and we haven't had one for a few years

If they beat you tomorrow this will look bad

Thanks captain obvious

On paper, Stoke at home is certainly a nice fixture to start with.

Hopefully, we will still be saying this after the game tomorrow.

My apologies I did not mean to seem arrogant in anyway.

I meant to say it as on paper of all matches you could choose on the opening day, would Stoke at home be the easiest you could imagine.

Not saying it will be easy but on paper I think it's best to get a transition team early on.

Stoke has been one of the hardest fixtures for us the last few years. They are so hard to break down, particularly away from home. I think because we are missing Suarez and Sturridge itll be 0-0.

4-0.

I think they will miss Tony Pulis more than they realise. Hopefully, especially after the game tomorrow. It is too difficult to predict the result. We can only ask our team to play their hearts out and secure a win. Nothing less.

When it's 2-0 I'll start to relax
