First game of the season and we’re booing players off. Afobe worked very hard, he’s just wank, he doesn’t deserve that abuse. Same with McClean, he doesn’t pick himself at left back Fans didn’t start supporting us until it was 2-1. Atmosphere was horrible McClean was motm for me

The only problem today was the managers preferred shape. He can't help it what he looks like!

Last week there was a thread on this site asking for prediction for the first game! I have to say that I was completely right. Loads and loads of moaning people who just cannot cope with disappointment in their lives. It was a very poor result that emotionally was hard to take! It turned out to be a really stupid decision by Butland to leave his goal and after opening the game brightly we found ourself behind. Our response saw us huffing and puffing and only highlighted the same old problem that we could not create chances! Nathan Jones has some serious questions he has to ask himself before the next match because Afobe and Vokes just did not work the QPR defence???? We were not garbage today as some fans say and some of the criticism especially of McClean was unjustified but it has been clear for sometime that certain fans have their agenda and from the outset they are looking for incidents to justify their negativity. There is a long long way to go before Stoke gets back on track and Nathan Jones is the man selected to do the job! As a supporter I have decided that I have got to be extremely patient!

Same with McClean, he doesn’t pick himself at left back Fans didn’t start supporting us until it was 2-1. Atmosphere was horrible The Afobe jeering came from all corners of the ground. Glad you're embarrassed by virtually all fans at the ground today. If the manager continues on his route of zealous pig headedness it will get a lot worse than today, very, very quickly. That's for cast iron certain.

It was fucking dire. Collins was the one and only bright spot. I couldn't make today. From what they said, he turned his back for the second goal. Was he a bright spot, or was he as bad as the rest but we're cutting him a load of slack because he's so young? As you say you weren't there.

No one is blaming the fans for defeat, stop with the victim complex Who/what was more embarrassing? The supporters or the team? Supporters who jeered Afobe or Afobe's inability to control a simple pass a 6 year old could have taken in his stride? What came first? The chicken or the egg? What does booing a player actually achieve?

By far our best player.

Maybe people were booing during the first game of the season as it felt like absolutely nothing had changed from the last game of last season. That game could have been tacked on to the end of 2018/2019 and no-one would have known.

Football fans in getting pissy after three wins from 26 games shocker.
You'll be telling me Leicester fans wanted Claude Puel sacked after beating Chelsea and Man City next.

Jones: “start fast and the fans will get on your side.” Butland: “OK boss!” 100% he fucked it all up with one moment of complete ineptitude, we never recovered at all. It's sole destroying to see...

What worries me is that we are supposed to have signed lots of players full of ‘character’ who are supposed to have the experience to deal with set backs as early as the 8th minute. So much for that theory.

I was embarrassed due to the SHIT performance and the inept management - fuck off blaming supporters Every inch of this post reeks of what this site has become! In my life I have witnessed quite a few "shit" performances of various teams. Yesterday Stoke's performance was one that would try the patience of a saint but it was not "shit"! You called it "Shit" because you want the team to win so much and you cannot handle the emotion of seeing silly mistakes and a negative result. As a result of losing yourself and a number of other Neanderthals hurl your abuse at Jones and the players. For heaven's sake show a bit of courage and just shut up till at least ten games have passed.

So much for that theory. Early days but the bet365 can turn on its head, I felt it and I'm sure they do. The anger and frustration of the fans does effect them. I agree they should be able to handle it but lots of first appearances lots of nerves they start very well and bang Jack kills them dead.

The same old players being dug out all the time.
McClean put 4/5 fantastic balls into the box yesterday begging to be attacked. In terms of defensively, in the diamond formation when he is on the front foot going forward, someone is supposed to cover for him. People kept saying “he’s being caught out too high up the pitch”. He can’t be in two places at once, that’s how this formation works, when the fullbacks are forward someone is supposed to slot in.
It’s not the system that’s the problem it’s how the players executed it YESTERDAY.

We’re fucking shit, end of story.
We haven’t got a midfield, we haven’t had one for 4 years. It’s a complete and utter fucking joke. I’m sick to the back fucking teeth of watching Joe Allen chase bog standard championship midfielders around the pitch for 90 minutes.
Benik Afobe, I cant even be arsed to go in to it but I’m beginning to believe that the manager has been told by the board that he cost 12m quid so he has to play, because I’m sure as shit that no bloke in their own mind would ever play that useless sack of shit. It wouldn’t surprise me if at some point during this season that channel 4 show Faking It makes a return and that prick is the subject of it.

For heaven's sake show a bit of courage and just shut up till at least ten games have passed. Thanks for the analysis - for the record, I hurled abuse at no-one and reserve venting my spleen for this hallowed place. I thought it was a very poor performance ie “shit” in the vernacular - just my opinion though and doesn’t make me a Neanderthal. The main point of my post was to those seriously suggesting the supporters were partially to blame for the performance and ultimately defeat - there was some grumbling for sure but there always is in these circumstances. As for Jones, he’s a lovely chap but more of the same will not be tolerated for very long. Of course it would be ridiculous to call for his sacking and he will get a dozen games before most will have a solid opinion one way or the other - I felt his performance yesterday was a bit worrying - I called it inept - maybe “tentative “ would be better. Let’s hope we find our feet soon...

He could quite easily have gotten 2/3 assists on the board yesterday.
