Lost the game with a fucking stupid Hollywood pass that he's been trying all game, then proceeded to do it after the goal. Fucking idiot. Says everything about our team when he's the only one trying to get forward. Even if it is with those dickhead passes. Fuck offonly player today worth is wages,yes he did make a poor pass,but nobody else even tried to pass,and I would not play Shaqiri again,he even wanted off while ball was still in play. Did you even read what I said? Yes he was one of the only players worth a spit today but when his fucking idiotic Hollywood passes and half volleys weren't going to Newcastle players, they were ending up in our net.

He had a good game today, was the only one really trying to make things happen.
Unfortunately we hamstrung him by 1) starting Crouch, which totally negate his ability to pick a pass and 2) switching to 442, as he simply doesn’t have the legs to be part of a midfield two.

He did set up a goal, I'll give him that.

One of two players I don't want to slap after that today (the other being Edwards).

That's just bollocks....he gave the ball away for the goal but other than that he was our best player. He gave the ball away constantly, usually trying the hollywood ball. He's a prick and cost us the game with a ridiculous attempt to pass a ball. I'm pretty convinced it wasn't a hollywood ball. Sideways pass that was just simply poor. Get you head out of your arse and blame the man who is truly responsible for our demise.

A goal to the opposition was inevitable once we went to 2 in midfield. Was there a viable alternative when pieters went off?

Yep, especially as he was flagging anyway. I don't think that the plan was to take off Pieters until he went down, but disrupting an otherwise effective (relatively) midfield to bring on Berahino was a massive error. The biggest error of all was doing nothing to rectify it when he still had a sub in hand, though. Charlie Adam is a genuinely creative player, perhaps the only one in the squad, and that showed today.

The free kick which their keeper tipped over, the chance where he tried to lob the keeper and I am sure there were more!

Charlie Adam is quality on the ball ,his attitude his spot on ,but he is miles off the pace
Fletcher and affelay should be embarrassed that they can't keep out of the team
But they can't and Charlie is playing on merit

He’d at least have allowed us to keep three in midfield. Either way, to have no serious competition for left back is another gross piece of negligence by Mark and his team.

I don't know what the bench was having not been at today's game. Seemed odd to change how we were playing so drastically because 2nd half, which is all I saw, we were the team in the ascendancy.

Nope. Not even on the bench. Despite the left back playing strapped up and palpably not 100%. Another masterstroke.

Charlie was Stoke's best player by far today even taking into account his error which led to their goal. You need to go to specsavers Mr Pugsley !

So overhit balls into the box hoping a 36 year old striker might get on the end of and a punt into the box that Crouch managed to win only for Diouf to completely balls up. Zidane like creativity. Creativity is like the lovely pass he played to Saido at the Chelsea game not hoofing it.

There were a few tossers out there on double that who simply did not give a flying fuck and couldn't hold a candle to him today.
