I'd like to see him under a new manager and coaching team. There is a top player in there.

No I don’t think he should be running around aimlessly. He should be running around with aim of getting the ball. You can fault Diouf for lacking ball control skills, but he works his tail off wherever Hughes puts him. If you watch Berahino, he’s the polar opposite. I didn’t count the times he was a yard or so from the Chelsea player bringing it out of defense, and like I say, he was strolling - if he was moving at all. Diouf is all effort, but being frank, is a terrible footballer. If that's all Hughes wants, I'll give it a go for a fraction of what some of these fuckers earn. 110% is the bare minimum I expect, call me old-fashioned.

Last I checked, your terrible footballer has managed to score a few goals (including the one today, which should have counted.) I always thought the thing with football was to score goals. Apparently, many Stokies seem to have forgotten that.

The Berahino Apologists are out in force again I see.
He got another 90 minutes and missed another one-on-one.
Dont care about the opposition being Chelsea, the guy could play for another 2,000 minutes and will never score a goal without it being a total fluke

Thought he played well today. Made some intelligent runs and gave Chelsea at least something to think about defensively.
Some folk seem to lack the understanding that just because he didn’t score today that he must’ve played poorly. If that’s the case then there’s no point in trying to explain that there’s a difference.

Everyone defends Berahino that nobody is creating chances for him. He gets given plenty of chances and just looks wank in front of goal. I wouldnt trust him to score an open goal from 1 yard out at the moment.

Glad to see these comments as they echo my sentiments.
He was hung out to dry today....
Basically 6-3-1 today so isolated....
No played for ages, so no match sharpness, match fitness or confidence.
However, considering all the above he did well today, strong for the most part, decent runs, tried to bend around the defender and with Adam`s vision he was able to nearly score (which was a decent save to be fair) and have another couple of little opening (one offside as he went slightly too early)
For me, he has to be given a run of games.
Adam, Diouf and Rama did really quite well today.

He needs to start again on Monday and again at Coventry next week.He is still our best option up top.Crouch is just a bit of a super sub and Diouf is really just a Jon Walters with pace!

You have to wonder whether there are, or have ever been, any other clubs . . . ANYWHERE . . . where the team's "striker" has never scored, and yet there are supporters who think he should be given even more opportunities to not score. And no matter how glaring the evidence that the fellow is utterly useless, these same supporters somehow believe that if he ever manages to score one, that will unleash a torrent more. Talk about having a bridge to sell. These people would buy half a dozen.

Should of scored the one on one but in all fairness the rest of his game was better than any of the other strikers t the club. He needs to play in a 2 up top he isn't and never has been the type of striker to create everything by himself.

I see a potential customer. . . . I have a good supply of bridges. And I'm willing to sell a couple at rock-bottom prices, and I'll throw in a third for free. What say you?

Talk about having a bridge to sell. These people would buy half a dozen. Do you honestly believe he's been given loads of chances? that's his 3rd start in the entire season. He should've done better with the chance but fuck me it's the first time one of our strikers has done anything like run in behind in about a year. He spent the game holding onto the ball the few times he got it and made a good run which he should've done better with. That's already 50x better than either of the other options.

Like I said, Diouf scores goals. So does Crouch. And Ramadan has a couple now too. Diouf's goal should've counted today, and Ramadan came very close at the end, with much less of a chance than Berahino wasted. What's to argue about?

Hard to score when you're not on the pitch. Not like they're scoring at any great rate either. Diouf's was handball, the linesman made the right call. Ramadan also didn't score. Berahino has threatened in that game far more than Crouch in any game where Crouch has started. Diouf is fine on the break but the fact Berahino can touch the ball within 50 yards of himself makes him better suited to a game where we should be on top, like on Monday. Diouf has also barely moved since Burnley away, he's looked lax and disinterested.

We will lump it forward to him, he will win a flick on 30 yards from goal and no-one will be on the end of it. We might scrape past with a lucky deflection or a set piece. We won't try to play football.

You're probably right and I don't give a fuck about Berahino one way or another, but I'm always interested in how people reach opinions, and the Berahino case is a particularly fascinating one. Though since I live in Trumpland, I have more profound examples of "Say what . . . ?" to be concerned about!

The Berahino Apologists are out in force again I see. He got another 90 minutes and missed another one-on-one. Dont care about the opposition being Chelsea, the guy could play for another 2,000 minutes and will never score a goal without it being a total fluke Another 90 minutes? When was his last 90 minutes?
