Next year we will see his best. He's playing well at the moment and hopefully he'll keep that up (and bag a few goals too) for the important run ahead. Many mistakes, but also many moments of brilliance too. That'll improve I'm sure. Pretty similar player-fan relationship to the one we had with Ric. If he loses the ball it's quite amusing to hear everyone going "ohhhh come on Arnie" like he's their nine year old son playing on a Sunday morning

Getting better and better, with some distance to go.
Marked improvement in his defensive contribution and passing is now getting much better. If he continues to improve he will be a major asset and top class Prem player.
I'd say Stokes 3rd most improved player after Cameron and Adam, but still some way to to match Bego and Shawcross.

Starting to settle down now in England and the premier league and producing quality.
Keep it up Arnie.

I think part of the reason Arnie came back on at the end was due to the rapturous applause he got when he legged it back in the first to retrieve the ball after his initial misplaced touch. I think that maybe was the moment that he 'got' Stoke.

Absolutely brilliant. MOTM for me. The quality of his delivery, strength, pace was outstanding today, and I think we can finally put to bed the myth that he's lazy - the way he sprinted back and won so many balls back was fantastic to see. More performances like that please Arnie. P.S. FUCKING GET INNNN! MOTM, really? Don't get me wrong he had a decent game but he was so frustrating, he busted a gut to track back and win the ball, but was lazy with it, some really really lazy passing. Everyone had a few lazy passes or crosses in a stoke shirt, that's why we didn't win by more.

He's getting there! Just stick with him... He needs confidence and experience to learn the real way the league runs. He's a great talent and his work-rate was fantastic today, he just wouldn't have any of it. He is more promising to me than fucking Wilshere ever was... Motm? I don't think he out did a few others but his effort and defense was massive and did the dirty work. I like Arnie more and more when he focuses and try's his best.

Arnautovic showed flashes of absolute world class brilliance, laced with the odd daft mistake. On the whole though, I thought it was one of his best performances in a Stoke shirt. He carries the ball so so well. His crossing was unbelievably accurate and is something we lacked last year.

He is a true talent but a times I thought he was fortunate that Erik Pieters had his best ever game in a Stoke shirt.

3 crosses
Losing the ball numerous times.
Failing send whelan when making space and runs down the left.
The above warrants calls of brilliance, MOTM, greatness etc etc. Knicker gushing at its finest
Shawcross immense and no doubt worth several times over than what PULIS paid and I won't mention Bego.
Now, let's play that game.

For me Arnie had a above average game 7/10 and nothing more, there were touches of brilliance and the odd lazy pass/tackle etc etc... Defo not a legend yet and 10/10... Poor game yesterday, Arse did'nt show up made us look better, but, who gives a fuck, we got 3 pts..
Well done lads, Norwich next, goarrrn Stoke

His balance and strength is impressive, but when he has got past 3-4 players and only has one left he seems to lose his determination. On several occasions this season the same has happened and I really can't understand why? Maybe it happens because he gets tired, but it often baffles me!

For me, too many mistakes in his game, and not enough quality - that may be coming or not - but, as someone said if he didn't make the mistakes he would be with a glory hunter team, and if we could pick a winning team, we would all be premiership managers, so the bottom line is, if MH thinks he's good enough (& I don't at the mo'), he plays him & that's all that matters really - is MH going to send out a player to fail if his job is on the line? So MH sees something in him & we have to either like it or lump it?

It's becoming alarmingly apparent that even if he scored a hat-trick in every game until the end of the season he'd still get called a show pony cunt on here.
We'll go back to the days of Cresswell, Pericard, et al on the wings then shall we?
Some of us don't deserve to have decent, technically gifted players in our team, it's sickening.

General play excellent, but his mind seems to short circuit when he gets near the goal, possibly trying too hard. But he seems to be improving every week, in my opinion.
