I'm sick of fkn hearing it to be honest. 'Oh Arnie didn't help him out' 'Where the fuck was Choupo' Now it's 'Mclean was nowhere' Pieters isn't good enough. Simple as. Arnie did help him out and that was his best run of form for us. I just don't think he deserves the singling out treatment he got tonight. Oh I know Arnie helped him out(good job he did),but plenty didn't. He was at fault for the first 2 goals tonight.

The attempted tackle/foot high charge on the boy who was left poleaxed before the first goal was something we have seen time and time again from Erik, which more often than not, has resulted in a goal.
He attempted it again for the second goal......he needs to leave....NOW.

A vastly experienced centre half allowed himself to be rag dolled by Nick Powell, to the point where he lost his temper and got stupidly sent off, which will negatively affect our biggest of big games on Saturday, to the point where we will be down to one senior centre half. Where's his thread?

I posted the following on a Pieters thread earlier this year; I was wrong about Butland (but did start a thread on the possibility of him staying), but little did I know how prophetic I was:

I think some people are building castles in the air.
The facts: We have a defence that is now minus Zouma and will be minus Butland, that let in 68 goals in the Prem last season, lost to lower division sides (Sheffield Utd., Bristol C., Coventry C.), and during Lambert's tenure has found it impossible to hold onto a lead.
We have an attack that has found it increasingly difficult to score goals as the season (that was last season) has progressed and we will be losing our top scorer/creator. (Shaqiri)
We will have a rump of players who are over 30, or very inexperienced, or don't give a damn.
I think we will do well not to follow Sunderland, Blackburn, and Wigan to Division 1 before we start bouncing back. Is the squad we will have left any better than Norwich, or Hull? We know Sheffield Utd and Bristol City can beat us. Middlesbrough had a decent defence last season (that is the season before last now) in the Prem., they just couldn't score goals, but their defence has not got them out of the Championship.
I like Pieters, but he is very average, getting older and has been inconsistent, and can't centre the ball for toffee, bar the occasional fluke.

What happens when you don’t give a guy any meaningful competition for 3 years. To keep him in the first team is questionable, to not even have a second player capable of pushing him is downright negligent.

He’s been an absolute liability since the day we gave him that bumper contract.
Shambolic defensively and offers absolutely nothing going forward

For all the shit he gets its impressive that he's won man of the match in all of the first three games. Leeds, Brentford and Wigan all nominated him. Apart from the goal vs Preston, he has underachieved.

Why the fuck has none of our last 3 managers thought about replacing him,he's fucking awful. He has already stated that he does not feel the need to get another left-back and as we only have Pieters in that position I am presuming he has him pencilled in for all 46 games and cup games. Quite why he feels it is ok not to have competition for places is beyond me - but this is Stoke and we are making an absolute royal feck-up on and off the pitch at the moment - and Rowett seems to be the latest one

Perhaps he was told "you have a first choice left back, why do want to sign one to sit on the bench for 46 games?". As we pushed for Knudsen and Ipswich wanted more money I think he was told the above...

I used to rate him, but he was dire last night
The bottled header has nothing to do with skill. It wasn’t even a dodgy one to put his head in
I think he had a hand in all 3 goals in some way

He went for a ball he couldn't win for the first goal and I think he was caught in two minds on the second. He started to go for it then thought "fuck I'm not going to get there". At least on the first he clattered Powell. We are all over the place individually and collectively.

It’s easy to pick faults with Erik,s game but that wouldn’t normally be one of them. Something is going on behind the scenes.

Where's his thread? I'm pissed off with Pieters and tonight was the final straw and so started a thread on him. If you're pissed off with Williams then I suggest you start a thread on him. I just don't like to see individuals hounded at the game when there are 8/9 others just as bad. The only defender to come out with any credit was Edwards, and even he made a bit of a hash of a few things. Ince and Berahino are the only two others who escape it for me. Fine lines between a player who tried and is inept on the night and a number of others who hid when the shit hit the fan, with another completely losing his head.

Let's be honest,it's not just Pieters,at least 50% of our squad need fucking off.
If Pieters,Shawcross,Fletcher,McClean,Edwards and Allen are in the starting 11 against Hull,Rowett needs fucking off also.

He was poor tonight for sure. But there were times he was left totally exposed as he had no support from Maclean. It’s easy to point the finger at Pieters but for me the other 3 clowns in defence were as bad if not worse tonight What game were you at? A hate campaign against McClean is obviously on your agenda!

Did it at the weekend and gave a goal away and then last night. Far from convinced with Edwards.

Your actually right I don’t like him. Hate him.... erm bit hard as he has his views and I have mine so in a way respect that even though I disagree. However I’m basing what I said purely on football reasons. The bloke offers absolutely nothing and never has done.
