HBA starting slightly worries me.

I hope he proves me completely wrong but I'd rather he comes on in the second half.

Starting Shola is just trying to beat Stoke at their own game. We are at home so we need to keep the ball down and have Stoke chasing shadows all afternoon

I know its early days, but this looks like a return to our early season set up and display. Not sure why we didnt just stick Shola back in and go 442. We look a tad toothless up front. That said Ben Arfa has at least been doing the simple stuff well with a few nice passes.

To be honest, this will probably work against us. They'll just sit with two banks of four and try and rebuff every attack. Ironically it's the kind of situation you'd like to be able to bring Ben Arfa on after you've dragged them around for a while.
