What a complete and utter shambles.
We have an hour to find a striker or we're going down.

From this game, and every other one, we still need another CM more IMO.

Unfortunately I think we’re stuck with what we have, what has really cost us was a fucking awful transfer window in the summer where we managed to regress. A few positions have been sorted this window but it’s nowhere near enough after a few bad transfer windows.
It’s madness to have the likes of Imbula and Bojan out on loan when we have no suitable replacements.
This is going to be a very nervous end to the season.

I disagree about the striker. Dont get me wrong id love us splash some money on a real goalscorer. But with good service the strikers we have now are more than capable of winning games for us. How many clear chances did we create for any strikers tonight? I hope ndiaye can sort out the midfield cause fletcher and adam are not good enough for the prem

We do need a striker but we ain't gonna get one
As I see it the only talented striker we have is Jesé
If lambert can get him sorted then maybe that would just about do the trick

You know some people on here say we don't need a striker, well here is my answer Bollox.
Goals win games , nothing else GOALS.
Mark Hughes took us to three 9th place finishes by improving our goals scored not by defending better.
If anyone has watched that poor match against Watford and thinks we don't need a striker I suggest you change sports.
There is no focus to the attack, it's just hit forward in hope of someone getting on the end of it, no runs off the ball, no power in the air, just everything a striker should bring is missing.

Of course we need better striker options......it's as plain as the nose on my face.
The board have been negligent in the extreme with their approach to managing the club over the last year and a half.
Hoping for the best is not a sensible strategy

What a complete and utter shambles. We have an hour to find a striker or we're going down. Sadly correct. Stoke have kept two clean sheets. So one tick. The path to survival would, though I think, never have been anything but some form of "dross" - a mix of rugged basic defending with zero mistakes, plus having some trick, pace or battering ram "up top" to create a goal. That way, no matter how bad the dross in the middle of the pitch, or how abject the general play was, there would be 4-5 games that could be won with real-or-metaphorical 1-0s by tipping the odds in a game of muddy bagatelle. I think its too late this season to have expected a renaissance of interplay, tactics, strategy and flair (i..e "not-dross"). Let hope there is a sudden discovery N'Diaye can run 100m in 8s, or launch flat fast throws from his own half, or Beharinho finds Jesus and his top form, or Lambert finds Zouma is a lethal target man. Pls PL, don't tell us it was a great performance - and how we didn't win, no-one knows. |

Only 4 teams in the league have scored less than Burnley and they are doing ok. If we had only let 30 in and not 50, we could be having a good season right now. We need a solid, athletic, positionaly aware CDM who can pass forward. |

We'll continue to bubble along with the current crop we have. We'll score some but not many, pretty much the same as we always have.

We desperately needed a striker and another midfielder in this window.
We are seriously lacking quality.
But the players out there are battling hard. No doubt about it

After hearing his post match interview on BBC Radio Stoke for the first time since his appointment I sensed he's a little bit worried about our situation.. Badou clearly wasn't his signing and when asked about any more signings again he said speak to Tony.. Clearly he has no idea on what's going on with transfers?

There are posters on here seriously saying we don't need a decent striker  honestly they appear to believe the shit they post, on the other hand we have Berahino who apparently trains well PL is impressed with his finishing we really are in deep shit then. |

I think we all knew deep down we were never going to buy a striker. This is purely my humble opinion, but with how transfer fees have gone through the roof, I think the board are terrified to spend the amount required to be successful in this league. Even the fee just paid for the new lad is on a par with clubs spending power in the top half of the championship.

I hope ndiaye can sort out the midfield cause fletcher and adam are not good enough for the prem Good service?Did you not see the unbelievable ball Shaqiri delivered that yet again he fucked up.Il say it again,Diouf gets a free ride from an amazing number of people on here.He is woeful.Lets also comment on the easy layoff to Shaqiri,that he blasts out of play.Shaqiri bollocks him and amazingly he has a go back.As a wingback all his supporters can say how hard he works and what a good professional he is.But if anyone can honestly argue that he’s a worthwhile centre forward for our club,then I’d love to hear it |
