I know we have had frustrating results, but Bojan helps a lot to make up for it. His quality on the ball is a kind of magic, I just love the way he controls, moves and kicks the ball. Crossing and diagonal balls are hit with such a natural technique that I've not really seen before. The assist for Walters header was pure, pure "sick".
All the home games this season have passed in a flash, very entertaining and absorbing; in contrast, most of the Pulis matches seemed an eternity at times.

I thought he ran into cul de sacs too many times. He also needs to leave free kicks on the edge of the oppositions penalty area to others. He has not hit a decent one yet. Other than that he is beginning to contribute. Jesus fucking Christ..

Cracking player. His crossing is generally poor mind. I'd like to see him in the box more,he's got what it takes to score goals. Agree with your first and last points, but not with your second. His crossing is sublime what are you talking about

The way he brought the ball down before crossing for the goal was unreal!! It just stuck to his foot. It was world class, its something ive never seen down stoke.

He is simply awesome and a real talent. I'd probably agree that some of our forwards aren't on the same wavelength yet. I'll tell you someone who was,Marko Arnautovic when he came on. A run in the side beckons for our Marko me thinks.

Boring hell fire. He was nowhere near as bad as people are suggesting on here.

Not at the moment Sid We all saw what Arnie can produce given a run in the side last season,he has the ability to take teams apart and it wouldn't be long before he was given a run in the side if I were in charge. Walters and Moses are both still worthy of their places for now,but anymore diving antics from Moses and he would be out of my team and I'm not Walters' biggest fan and his purple patch will eventually fizzle out that much is guaranteed. I thought Arnie linked up well with Bojan yesterday and ripped their defence to bits,if he had got his final ball right everyone would be talking about a man of the match cameo in my opinion. It seems to me that he was trying too hard to impress and that's why I don't buy the lazy can't be arsed tag that he has.

We have the makings of an excellent team. Bojan, Zonz, Shawcross, Bego and arguably a few more wouldn't look out of place in a top four team. Throw in seasoned, proven Prem vets like Bardsley, Walters, Whelan etc and the future looks very bright.
Yesterday was incredibly disappointing but in our previous game we won away at Spurs, repeating the result from earlier at Man City.
If people can't step back and see that we stand on the verge of something potentially fantastic then I'm not sure why those people bother.
At times on here it's as if the board has been invaded by 10 year old girls who have just found out that Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy don't exist. All at once.

Seriously though, I see where you are coming from but at the moment our Potters are like a beautiful piece of china with a bloody great crack(+) and a chip(*) missing. (+ = the defensive errors) (* = goal scorer.)

So we're even picking holes in Bojan's performance now? Fuck. 8-0 I may be one of the miserable twats on this particular thread. I just think it is a bit early to be gushing over Bojan.. He still has a long way to go in my opinion. The signs are there but he is definitely not the finished article. We had a similar jizz fest over Arnie last season and look how that is currently shaping up.

He did the simple things well and tried to play the right pass most of the time. His execution was just awry on a couple of occasions. I think people were frustrated because it was the last 10 mins and we desperately wanted the crosses to be inch perfect..

I thought he was playing a bit too deep yesterday , although he did look superb , I would prefer to see him in a more advanced role around their 18 yard box guess he was lying too deep against spurs as well

Doesn't mean it isn't a heap of horse shit. Which bit was the heap of horse shit. The cul de sac shit or the shit at free kicks on the edge of the box shit. The former is a bit subjective, the latter can easily be verified by a review of his previous attempts. I have only ever seen one get over the wall and it was a weak effort that didn't trouble the goalie. As I said, his free kick efforts to date have been pretty poor - let Bards have a go,o and or Sidwell. You lot can fawn all over Bojan as much as you want. The last three games have been encouraging but I will reserve judgment until the end of the season.

I have to pinch myself at times to remind myself that I'm watching one of the most naturally gifted footballers in the world at Stoke. Yes he's that good. He's got a fragile psyche but fucking hell these last 3 games is like watching football played at a completely different level to anything else we've seen at Stoke for the last almost 40 years.
