Release the Danish Tank!!

He's Thor with a haircut

Mark Hughes has a mini injury crisis on his hands ahead of Stoke`s home fixture to rivals Cardiff City.

Robert Huth and Marko Arnautovic, who sat out of the Potters 4-0 defeat at Goodison Park to Roberto Martinez`s Everton, will also be missing for the visit of Malky Mackay`s side with knee and hamstring problems respectively.

Jonathan Walters, who has played in 102 consecutive Premier League games, is a doubt with a thigh injury. If Walters doesn`t prove himself to be fit, then it will be the first time since February 2011 that the Republic of Ireland international has failed to make the Potters starting eleven in the league.

Hughes will be relieved that loanne Stephen Ireland is available for selection and Kenwyne Jones is also pushing for a start after coming off the bench in the defeat at the weekend.

Potentially starting eleven vs. Cardiff:

Begovic
Cameron Shawcross Muniesa Pieters
Whelan
Ireland Nzonzi Adam Assaidi
Crouch

I wonder whether Charlie Adam will get us again

I think Malky is gonna play defensive for the first half and see where that gets us and maybe switch to attack second half

C'mon City, do us proud!

Stoke with 85% of the possession so far. City can't touch the ball and when we do, we're hoofing it back up the field to them.

Awful line up. Team picked hoping for 0-0. These are the games we should be going to with a positive mindset with a team picked to attack and take all 3 points.

this is making me want to cry so far.

Its the malky way, we will either score from a set piece or a break from our own 18yard line, if we score that is, untill then lets sit back and hoof it and hope they dont score first

Malky giving Tan a reason to sack him ... a very negative line up looking down the barrell ... hope I'm wrong

How many other Premier League teams would have Don Cowie in their midfield? I doubt many top half Championship teams would have him.

No Bellamy. No Noone. No Odemwingie. No Kim. No pace. No Attacking threat.

This is embarrassing to watch.

The setup is bad enough, but when we can't make basic passing moves then thats makes near on impossible.

Embarrassing so far. Can't track our man, can't handle Crouch, can't pass the ball let alone hold onto it. Norwich all over again.

Vacancy at Norwich by the morning so Malky will be off anyway.

3-0 down after 30mins

Fair play though, this ref is f*cking awful

Blame the ref already theres only 42minutes on the clock we have had a header on there goal from a corner stop moaning mun, we can not put 5 passes together

given the ball away without any pressure more times than i care to remember.

just had a shot on target too, Malky better tell them to hold back a bit. Don't want to go crazy and maybe even score a goal.

This is shit awful. Feel sorry for those who've travelled to watch this

Well Stoke have pretty much out played us so far and their fans are fuming with them...what does that say about us! Our passing needs to improve, which it was in the last 7 mins...we need to do all the basics better. Malky, he needs to get some changes in before they score....not after. Still have faith though! IMWT

Things can only get better. Going in halftime drawing il take that. Cant string a couple of passes together at moment as said above.

Stoke aren't any better. I think Cardiff are doing ok. Bring on Nooney in the 70th and wam bam thank you mam
