In my Opinion it has to be Mido. Mido's now scored 3 in 3. I think Mido deserves a place in the Starting line up against Stoke, as I think Alves will struggle against their tactics, which will be like Sheff Utd last season, when they had 11 men in defence and kicked everything that moved. I think Mido would knock them about a bit and get stuck in, he is also better in the air, which we might need against a mass defence. Alves is terrible in The air and doesn't like the rough stuff, he has also failed to impress me so far this season, and looks well off the pace

I'd go for Alves and Mido up front with Tuncay tucked in behind (like Juninho was).

Mido , and I know we haven't got a prediction thread yet for the game but I just have this feeling we are going to batter them. Confidence high , first home match ....... 4 - 1 Boro , Mido to get a brace.

littlelol,

I completely agree on your assessment of Alves, he didn't look sharp against spurs and fumbled a lot when the ball was at his feet. I do reckon Mido has earned his place, maybe it's time to give alves a kick up the arse and leave him on the bench

MIDO Deserves his chance in the starting line up, along side Tuncay, and I think LL is right about this type of game not being Alves cup of tea. So let him have a stint on the bench. I think with us having 2 attacking wingers, Southgate will try and keep it tight in the Centre of midfield. I would like to see O'niell and Digard in the middle, as Digard can chip in with a few long range efforts, which is what we might need against a packed defence
