Stoke City<\/a><\/abbr> winger Matthew Etherington admits the lead up into their Europa League clash with Hajduk Split<\/a><\/abbr> hasn\u2019t been ideal.<\/p>\n

Etherington acknowledged that Stoke\u2019s pre-season form and results had been poor, but remains confident they will be ready for their Europa League debut.<\/p>\n

Hajduk\u2019s spies watched the back-to-back defeats at Brentford and Aldershot last weekend, and Etherington quipped to The Sentinel<\/em>: \u201cThey\u2019ve probably gone home thinking it will be a walk in the park for them.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we are a different animal at the Britannia and it will be all guns blazing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had a really tough pre-season with a lot of hard work, and it takes a couple of weeks after that to get back into the swing of things.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of work in a short space of time takes its toll and you need a few days for the body to recover to see and feel the benefits.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow I think we are as ready as we can be. We would have liked a bit more time, but the fitness is more or less there now.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we also know we have to improve performances because what we are playing against on Thursday is a step up in class.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important how you play tactically. Our manager is usually very good on that and will know how to play on their weaknesses.\u201d<\/p>\n
