Go on....feed my obsession.

Simply magnificent again.
His positioning on the first goal is an example to any young strikers on how to make room for yourself and others.
And his pass for the 2nd goal was sublime.

He was superb all game. Took his goal well and his cushioned ball for joselu was fantastic.

244 appearances for Stoke City,58 goals for Stoke City.A goal every 4.2 games.Works his nads off for Stoke City= Jon Walters is a Stoke City hero.Say or think what you want about Pulis but this was a transfer chase that paid back in bucket loads.Great servant of our great club.

Needs to be used sparingly, not flogged to death.

Today also moves him into the list of our top twenty all time goalscorers (when the records page gets updated on Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Stoke_City_F.C._records_and_statistics). Not bad at all considering he's played in several positions over the years |

Excellent today, time to put him back in his box though and bring him back at Anfield.

He is consistently our second highest scorer, almost every season.
Anyone got the stats to hand?

Yes he is, a credit to himself and the club  I can imagine him pursuing a career in the media when he finally hangs up his boots, he has a talent for it I would suggest, he could be our first Premier League years pundit on national TV, a sign of how far the club has come! |

Said it when there was the whole debate surrounding contract and a move to Norwich, he is a player that will consistently get you around 6-10 goals a season. An asset to the team.

If he doesn't score in the next game he will appear in the lists of 'dead wood' that regularly appear on this board!!!!

He is consistently our second highest scorer, almost every season. Anyone got the stats to hand? I've got one. It isn't meant as a way to knock Walter but is a reality check to those above who, whilst complaining about the stick Walters takes when he is poor have now committed the same sin in reverse. He has scored five Premier League goals this season in 17 starts and 11 substitute appearances. If you are going to start banging the drum on the basis of goal scoring that, for a striker is one step up from Mame Sidebe. It is one goal more than Joselu and Diouf both of whom have had considerably less pitch time. I have absolutely no axe to grind regarding Walters but to laud him as an example to young players for his goal scoring positioning in the box is going a long way too far. The only thing that has been "proven" surely is that the goal scoring capacity of the side is something that needs serious consideration this summer. Super Jon is "proven" not to be a reliable goal scoring option. Arguably Joselu has more of a case for consideration. Having said all that Walters put in a very commendable shift yesterday. Excellent finish, set up and general contribution to a good win. A very handy squad player to have in our ranks at this time. |

Excellent finish, set up and general contribution to a good win. A very handy squad player to have in our ranks at this time. I agree that he's a very good squad player to have on the books. I also agree that he isn't prolific enough. Although it's a bit harsh to single him out when you could aim that criticism at any of our forwards over the past decade or two. Jon has made his way through all the tiers of English football, from bottom to top. It's a similar story to that of Vardy, although he obviously won't receive the same coverage. That work ethic and determination should be lauded. We've had many more talented players over the years who simply haven't achieved as much or lasted as long at this level due to lack of application or poor attitude. The team is evolving and we need to continually improve but Walters is still proving his worth as a valuable member of the squad. He was brilliant yesterday. It's vital we have those type of players to step in when the likes of Shaqiri pick up a knock. Similar story with the likes of Bardsley and Muniesa yeaterday. The fringe players proved their worth. |

"absolutely no axe to grind"....except, of course, the one labelled "TPs love child". Let's be honest that's the main reason some people can't wait to criticise but are, shall we say, reticent with any praise. Good to see there's a lot of people who recognise just what a massive contribution to our recent history he's made and continues to make. PS I agree with most of your post. |

If any of the above three become as consistent as SJW over a long period of time we will have three very good players.SJW as played when he should not off ,he's been flogged into the ground but still gave 100% even if he was having a poor game,he's no spring chicken anymore ,but it seems if the manager wants a player to do a certain job without him throwing a tantrum then he is your man.Hope some of our so called super stars would show the same commitment sometimes. |
