I'd say pedigree Joselu is our best striker technically, but Diouf really creates from effort and tenacity. I really like both of their games and think if they are on the pitch together good things will happen.

A great worker with pace and an instinctive eye for goal (if he doesn't have time to think about it), however he lacks technical ability and has the first touch of a rhinocerous. He does have his uses and is a good squad player but I for one do not want to see him start every week. File under John Walters, Andy Cooke, Sidibe etc, etc...

It really was and it was pretty much dismissed when it was bought up. And no idea. He just seemed to not trust him out of the blue. It was odd. GeneralFaye too, he missed 2 1v1 at West Ham away. At that point he completely gave up with him. I agree 100% it was after this game that Hughes just gave up on him. Despite the fact he was the only player who got into scoring positions in that game. Yes he misses some but the reaction was over the top. Mame has obvious technical limitations but he has strengths few others at the club have, pace, power, good in the air and makes runs. He has also improved his hold up play. Be it wing back, wide right , second striker or main striker, he should always be in our starting eleven. Against Everton I would be happy for him to be wide right of a front 3 to put pressure on Baines and support either Joselu or Berahino with Shaq at 10

I think he does a great job at RWB and can see him playing their mostly this season.
At the end of the day if he is in the team he should be happy and give 100% which he always does.
At RWB he will manage to chip in with 2-3 goals by late runs into the box and getting on crosses from the left. Plus his crossing is good and we generate a few assists.
He is good defensively and has the athletic ability to get up and down the pitch marking his winger when required.
Upfront he remains an option but lets not pretend he's a great finisher.

I don't agree Mame being main striker.
But he is an AWESOME wing back. Has pace, discipline, hard work, supreme tackling, is strong and now he's adding assists.
Basically we should do to Mame what Chelsea did to Moses.
Trouble is LMH prefers Glen Johnson.
And that's the long and short of it really...

As Jezza mentioned, and whether or not we sign Delph, it should be 4 at the back, a solid midfield three and, IMHO, Diouf, Joselu and Shaq up top, but the problem with that is it puts Shaq on the left wing and, anyway, you know he'll play Berahino.

He should be our main striker. He should have been our main striker for the last 3 years. I feel sorry for the bloke. He's picking up £60k a week BS so dunner feel to sorry for him. Yes, thats right, because he earns a lot of money, then we should have no compassion when his mother dies in tragic circumstances. Pretty sure Mame would give it all back to spend 5-10 yrs with his mother still being alive?

Had no idea of this and thought BS was feeling sorry for him because he was played out of his natural position. Hence the comment.

As a goal scorer he is pretty shit. And let's face it that's exactly why the club bought him.

At that point he completely gave up with him. I was going to say the same. Hughes went apoplectic after the second. Doesn't seem to back any of his strikers like he does the rest of the side. Chops and changes the whole time as if he doesn't understand that strikers rely on confidence more than any other position. I can't work out if he just thinks they are all awful compared to him as a player and can't get over it, Roy Keane style.

I slated him before pre-season but I don't mind admitting, he's been pretty good in pre-season. Might be winning me over.

Gives his all whenever he pulls on the shirt. Imo he's very average. Poor first touch and finishing overall is poor. However there has been times when he was our best option. That says it all about our squad really

I think dioufy has to play
Someone has to have a bit of backbone and stand up to be counted.
Might aswell be dioufy
It's certainly not going to be Glenn Johnson

Which is pathetic. It's like his treatment of Bardo after he was sent off vs Chelsea. It's just too TP. Hes a terrible footballer...dave bamber would have a similar scoring record with the same chances. If you are going to judge a striker by the per centage of chances tucked away then diouf definitely has better stats than berahino. Berahino has scored zero % of his chances in the prem for us.

How many chances has he had though? Not to many he's been very unlucky, Had some shots saved where the GK has just got incredibly lucky (Think back to the mignolet wonder save at home) Saido's movement is brilliant and he is very very good finisher. Anyone slating him needs to open their eyes to the fact he receives very very little service. Not his fault And on the subject of this thread I love Diouf!

How many chances has he had though? Quite a few. He's played a dozen or so games for us But you make a very good point.. As striker it's his job to create those chances with his pace, movement and timing of his runs. Sadly I don't think his pace, movement and timing of his runs is has good as diouf So it's a double whammy... He's creating less chances. Then missing even more of them than diouf does

Hes a terrible footballer...dave bamber would have a similar scoring record with the same chances. In a weird kind of way you have highlighted the reason why Diouf is our best striker. 'Same chances'- for a side that create precious few chances, Diouf always seems to find the space or run to create those chances😉. Agreed Imo Dioufs extra bit pace makes him easier to ' play in ' than our other strikers

If Diouf plays then he plays in his natural position which throughout out his career has been a forward. As a premiership club Stoke should not be shoehorning forwards into defensive positions because the current incumbents do not work hard enough! A premier league club should have a specialist for every position and an able backup for each position to fill in as required.

The title of this thread was Diouf as a central striker. That ship sailed a long time ago. He played well today, and scored a good goal but if you think he's a central striker then all the lols in the world work you.
