Evening to you both. Yet another lacklustre performance yesterday against a team that had not won for 7 games.We started so slowly yet again and another away game followed the same boring pattern,home team score and then we have all the ball but create nothing.596 minutes without an away goal now with the players we have is nothing short of scandalous. Mark Hughes HAS to go either this week or at the end of the season and then bring someone in who can at least motivate this set of players and if not give the new manager the money to make the changes necessary. The system changes week on week with different players coming in to different systems🤔It's just not good enough. It's become a massive chore to watch Stoke City over the last 15 months and something must change if fans are to look forward to games again.

What is your gut feeling Ange and Russ ?

Cracks were papered over last week. This week we need DIY SOS.
Unfortunately Nick Knowles and his team can't work miracles.

Hughes should not, MUST NOT, be here next season.
Another game, another shambles. Totally lacklustre, no effort, no desire, pitiful "attack", slow, lethargic, and yet again the same rubbish spouted by Hughes in the post match interview.
Sir Peter and the board must surely act at the end of the season and get rid of Hughes. If he is allowed to continue next season, based on the past 15-18 months we will surely be in a serious relegation battle . Hughes shows no fire or passion on the sidelines, look at Big Sam at Liverpool today in comparison. I have no confidence in Hughes to sort out the current mess, and even less confidence in him to buy the much needed new players that the team and squad requires.
He should be sacked immediately after the last game of the season. Silva currently stands out as the leading successor to replace Hughes but I am unsure whether Sir Peter will be willing to go for a non-British manager.

Hello to the three musketeers! Anyway, I was right Ange on Crouch starting and us losing. (not proud of that) It's not working is it? No effort from them players and manager. They look unmotivated, it's gone stale. What happens to milk when it goes stale? it gets thrown out. As I've said previously if he is here next season we will go down. He needs to leave at the end of the season, new faces on and off the pitch.

I'm not even fussed about the players we've bought, We need a Defensive midfielder but that's it, possibly a full back.
My big worry is that he's stuck with this 442 despite it working in 1 game. We're not creative and our midfield isn't tough enough to cope defensively with only 2.
Start the same team as saturday, but we need to switch one striker (preferably not Saido) for a midfielder! Saido's best game was against hull, as a lone striker, let him do it with some creativity behind him! Let's hope next season its Bojan Shaq and Arnie behind Saido.

Mark you're totally wrong on Shawcross yesterday because Martins Indi vacated his area which Llorente came into and scored

Wonder what the panel thinks of Grant being dropped for Butland. Personally I think Grant should have kept his place...

Good evening all,
In my business if the performance levels were poor and deteriorating and the main KPI's (business indicators) were on a downward trend then changes would be made.
I was a supporter of Hughes and I do feel that he helped take the Club forward after their previous manager BUT now it is time for Hughes to be relived of his duties. There are so many indicators which are a serious concern.
Expenditure, disregard of players who have cost a great deal of money (transfer fees, wages), disregard of players after good performanc, fitness levels, athleticism, formation (Hughes keeps searching - he does not know what to do). Lack of development of youth but most importantly we have no identity.

The premier league is so poor this year, it's a huge huge missed opportunity. With our squad, and how poor everyone else has been, we should be 7th/8th.

Good evening all, hope you're all well.
Couldn't agree with Ange more about complacency. The club's riddled with it from top to bottom. We're ran as a business to be steady with no desire to push on. We've stood still for that long, we're now seeing the fruits of that. We're going backwards. It's not just the manager and a hand full of players that need showing the door to.

If Ange is right and Hughes is only given to spend what he gets in sales so thats £12m back for Imbula(if we're lucky?), £3m for Joselu, 50% share if Bojan goes i.e.£2m. So, that's £17m. What does Ange think we will get for £17m in this market place? Probably the Port Vale squad?

Because if we only spend that next season and keep Hughes then with such an ageing squad and very little youth coming through, we will probably get relegated

We have too many players who are inconsistent, resulting in poor performances..too many of our players blow hot and cold,there does not seem to be much pashion coming from the manager or the players at the moment,as though they all know what is coming in the near future...

I believe berahino will prove a lot of people wrong in time he is a proven goalscorer at this level but what I believe he needs is through balls played in front of him to run onto from a number 10 with the ability to put him through. Ie Shaq or boJan with Ramadan and Arnie wide and with Cameron and Allen in defensive midfield.
