Not a cat in hells chance of winning this then, armie keeps making the wrong runs for me, goes when should wait and stops when should be on the move, and why he has to give opposition players the death stare anytime he's in close contact instead of concentrating on doing something worthwhile! Who do you coach then? Im sure a professional and international footballer knows what runs to make. Don't have to be a coach to know when a player makes the wrong run or indeed doesn't even bother! He's not alone by any means, our armie just thinks he's good. I think he's good when he wants to be, I think he's shit when he doesn't want to be, ok?

They just kept on pumping long balls up to him and when they had the chance to pass it to his feet, they ignored him. When he did get on the ball, he was the only player that could actually keep possession and create something.

So you think he had a good game? Possibly three bits of "decent" football by arnie, including one tackle after his own mistake, two half decent runs down the left and that's it for someone who wants cl football, good luck arnie!

Best player in the Austrian team by far the only danger was when he created something. Had to defend all the second half helping Fuchs.

Watching the game ere in France and the camera covered him only and the game on 2 separate pictures, attitude was awfull, moaned all the time and his players were constantly shouting at him.

Perhaps he was moaning because he was a class above the rest of the team and they werent capable of playing to his standards. Only danger was when he had the ball.

"Hardly found his man"?! He was the only Austrian player that could pass the ball! And I'd be pissed off if none of my teammates could keep possession.

Nothing better than critiscising a Stoke player for many on here. Instant orgasm.

As my original input re arnie, if he was their best player then no way would they get a win and so it proved, he may well of been their best player (debateable) but he certainly wasn't the arnie who CAN play when the mood takes him! As for defending with Fuchs, if he had been doing what he's on pitch for he wouldn't have to defend so much!

I only watched because he was playing, I wanted him to play as he did against utd and citeh, however he was major disappointment just as he was against Hungary. So as I was majorly disappointed with his efforts why am I not allowed to comment, just for the record the rest were poor in the main for both sides, however I don't follow their fortunes otherwise I would comment on their sides forums, free speech and all that

You don't have to be a master chef to know when your meal tastes like crap. I can think of many similar analogies but I'm too lazy to type them out.

Ok he wasn't brilliant but every decent situation for Austria as an attacking force involved him..and he did his share of defending. Not bad for a lazy fucker eh ?
It seems some just have it in for him and just see what they want their eyes to see.
Perhaps some stoke fans still don't like or trust footballers. Maybe some are still under hypnosis from listening to Tone ramble on Friday night. .

I'm not sure you can blame Arnie too much , Austria came in with a reputation that clearly was not merited , For portugal to dominate so much means austria are a pretty poor side as a unit even if they have a few good individuals .
My view on Arnie hasnt really changed he seems settled at Stoke now and valued possibly the most in his career , I dont think he will improve if he moves as a player , he may make more money of course but I'm not sure his career will get better

I didn't watch the first game but was anyone else surprised at how fucking woeful Austria were?
I watched them a couple of times in qualifying and I've had £30 on them to get to the semis along with the Germans and French.
Did anybody else notice as well that the right winger was actually the worst footballer they've seen since Kevin Harper?

Austria were poor, that was plain to see.
Arnautovic has been largely quiet, however not through his own fault.
I have seen some of the daftest suggestions on this thread however. All of a sudden Arnautovic isn't capable of playing for a Champions League club because of his performance in 1 game???????????
Jesus lads, the guy has been a class act all season, definitely worthy of a team in the CL. You would think Stoke City fans would be a little more supportive and basically honest when it comes to 1 of the few Stoke players currently playing at this tournament.

That was him, small number 20. I watched the first half alone and my friends joined me for the second half and I said watch out for how bad this geezer is. We ended up in hysterics waiting for him to get the ball and inevitably do something completely shite.

PS or was that Alaba I was talking about? I can't remember but they were both cack.

When he did get on the ball, he was the only player that could actually keep possession and create something. I agree - Arnie had very little service yesterday. On the few occasions when he DID get decent service he laid on decent chances for his team mates. The rest of the Austrian midfield and forwards created the square root of bugger all in the 90 minutes. Quite why they persisted almost exclusively in trying to mount attacks down the right, especially in the second half, I don't know - but it did look as if some players had their own agenda which was taking preference over common sense.
