He is certainly no target man, and it doesn't suit him at all to play as a lone striker.

Feel sorry for him at the moment, absolutely no support and then subbed without having much more that he could have done
We HAVE to play someone in close behind him

He has way too much to do alone. It's all a bit rubbish really, passing it around just for Allen to lose it, or McClean..... Or a terrible cross/corner time after time

He was constantly on the shoulder of the last man and making runs but no one was picking him out with an early ball along the ground. I felt sorry for him today.

He doesn’t do the nuts and bolts stuff a lone striker needs to do. He just plays on the shoulder of the last defender and a lone striker has to do more than that.

Faultless for me. The bloke didn’t have anyone around him at all. Rowett has to stop being stubborn and see this one up front does not work

So who plays with him up front?
We have a lot of dead wood in that area too. There is no one there who can play with him

This ‘one up front is the devil’ stuff is such a red herring.
The last Stoke manager to regularly play two up front was Johan Boskamp.

Totally ineffective again , as he has been quite a lot lately , however not all his fault , no service, he is useless in the air so why play high balls to him, may as well start Crouch .

Abysmal tactics do not help this guy. He is a potential goal machine but Rowett hasn’t the know how to exploit his potential. A lone striker is great if you have the wide men to negate the deficit up front. With McClean offering nothing it makes Afobe’s job difficult. We have big technical problems.

Thought Afobe was good not great considering the starting lineup chaos, what do you expect with Allen and McClean attempting to help him lead the line? Poor Ince and Benik. Harsh criticism for him today for being stranded without Bojan or Bera forward to help him out. He's better with assistance and he was totally and criminally left stranded today.

Seems to me Afobe has been cut a lot of slack all season. The lack of service stuff is all well and good but rarely if ever does he seem to impose himself on a game. It’s not even as if he is constantly winning balls and putting them in areas where the support should be. Far too often he has been just rather anonymous and he certainly doesn’t attack things with enthusiasm of the aged Mr Crouch. Like a good few other players he really needs to start walking the walk with regard his supposed quality.
