live on the box and a win guarantees Europa league football how confident are we? because we will have to win as Southampton have a gimme with palace despite anything pards might say there minds will be set on the cup final.so stoke with nothing to play for should be easy? mmm doubt that...they have some very good players and its there last home game of the season so I think it'll be a draw and that will not be enough.

Can't go in with the same attitude v Swansea... great win last time at the Boleyn, felt like that was the last game of the season. Hope the players give the same amount of effort. Would start Tomkins at RB and give Sakho another run out, would consider maybe starting Lanzini on the bench too.

on bench is a good shout play Antonio on the wing and slot Tomkins in at rb make us a lot more solid but we will have to wait and see

I thought that Lanzini was excellent first half against Man Utd, with so much at stake we have to go for it! We can't finish lower than 7th so if Man Utd win the FA Cup , Liverpool lose the Europa then Man City's europa spot for the League Cup is ours. All to play for and it's in our hands!

Plaistow, we could actually drop to 8th after Liverpool's last gasp equalizer agst Chelski and they are only 2 goals behind in GD so it's a must win agast Stoke but that's better than a end of season, nothing to play for, damp squib of a game. Will be a physical game so I think we need to play Tomkins at RB and move Antonio forward so he can get at the defence and hopefully put in some decent balls for Carroll to finish off.

Yep win under any circumstances (it's too complicated otherwise) I don't care how we do it as long as we do. It could be the most lucky, crap etc win ever I don't care. If we get In Their face they may not fancy a fight last game of the season.

Slav says the energy has been drained from the players with tues win,beetroot shots and stick em in the ice chambers for four minutes at -135C that will sort em out, for one final push.and don't be using Moses and EE they wont give a damn they are up the road.

say that it does annoy me yes Tuesday was emotional and energy sapping but don't train the players for 3 days massage there aching limbs a light session sat morning and a tactical briefing....and of course remind them that we started the season in Europe so go out give it everything for the last 90mins win and get us back in Europe then they can go on there holidays which will have been well earned.

Yep mcbikeman I agree, not to mention if some are suffering then use the squad that's what they are for! Collins could be ideal for this game, not to mention Tonka and obiang all should be ready and capable.

Payet and Adrian out. All others fit. Wonder what team Bilic will pick?
