Yet again, how many more times in a season will Hughes let this happen?

We were desperate for Bojans creativity today, what's the point in bringing Berahino in if we won't create anything for him?
Our midfield hit a very large solid door every time they went forward and had no clue how to get through it

Still can't get over the fact we have paid 15Mill for a striker who hasn't scored for 2 years, is overweight and was banned for drug taking!!!!. Only Stoke eh!.

What do we all expect when our manager after spending millions has gone back to using Peter Crouch as a lone front man?
Not good enough and this season should be his last unless he sorts his shit out.

Come on, we can't blame Berahino for this latest debacle. He hasn't scored for two years because his manager fell out with him and wouldn't play him. Even the greatest striker in the world would struggle to score if he didn't play. |

Who's got the most assists for Stoke this season? Not just about assists anyway, he takes players out the game, creates space for other players None of our midfielders wanted to move forward with the ball |

From me or the raving lunatics who have wanted him out before a ball was kicked under his management? I can only answer for myself and if he starts getting us playing football like he did in his first two seasons again,signing players that fit the systems he wants to play then he will get all the time in the world from me. |

I know I'll never win but he's not coming back, no matter how much history re writing goes on. |

When you're knocking aimless cross after cross from 50 yards out to no-one in particular as your attacking strategy there is little wonder we offer the square root of fuck all going forward. Really pissed off with that performance today. |

I have been very positive about Stoke City under Hughes but the last 11 or 12 months has put paid to much of that. Not only are we goal shy but we seem to be increasingly imbalanced as a squad.

But it was inconsistent stuff in those two years. Some baffling team selections, some pointless subs, some shite performances. He's not going to get any chance is he? The tide has turned for some people and there's no way back. Each loss now is greeted with grater venom. |

I don't think theres been an overreaction tbh, there was a bit ago and that was understandable, but today showed that some results were just papering over the cracks, there is a need for a big overhaul in the summer, we did look clueless today and we were painfully slow, I don't see how any of that is an overreaction. |

The tide has turned for some people and there's no way back. Each loss now is greated with grater venom. We don't seem to be improving as a team though, in fact we aren't improving at all and this is Hughes' third season in charge so people are bound to be questioning what's going on especially considering how many signings have been made, and so much money spent. I'm of the opinion that Hughes is treading water and has lost the plot big time. Our football in the main is shit to watch and a lot of the players he has signed just haven't improved us one bit. Then he goes and tops it off by signing an unfit centre forward who hasn't played any meaningful football for ages when we are desperate for a goalscorer right now. |

Was surprised by this today, not just us winning at S'ton! but how much better Wba were than you. Really thought you'd win but more surprising is how Wba played so much better football than you and with a manager that was anti football when with you. All you guys did was hoof it to old man Crouch while Albion looked a very good footballing side. That Nyom had the measure of Arnautivic and the rest of your team didn't seem to want to know, losing every 50/50 in a local derby?
Is that because Pulis now has a better class of player at Wba in Chadli, Phillips, Rondon, Livermore, Morrison etc...? And Wba did it without their best player in Evans.
That said when Wba didn't come in at HT 3-0 up there was always a chance you'd sneak a draw. Was intrigued when berahino came on, as were all the neutrals watching in the pub but he was poor and it looked like he was hiding. Bad day at the office for you guys!
