Baath if he stays at centre half god help us. He can't strike a football at all, those floaty balls forward give the forwards zero chance. Was thinking the same. Can’t kick a ball properly, and every time he plays a pass it’s always fucking behind the player receiving so he’s already on the back foot, he never plays the fucker infront so he can move into it. He’s absolute fucking shit that bloke

What are the odds that McClean will be at left back on Saturday?? Considering BMI will be needed at centre-half? Probably Odds on - would be tempted to put Clucas in at left back, but with Etebos injury, we are so short in midfield he's needed there

The worst player I have ever seen in a Stoke shirt. He wasn’t even the worst full back on our team tonight never mind the worst player ever.

The problem is replacing him in midfield.

How are they 3rd ? they were even worse than us, only scored due to a mistake.a Because they haven't lost 9 out of 13 matches?

Didn't think he was that bad. Not great but losing Indi and CV really affected us. Thought Edwards was poor and Lindsey really is a poor player.

What concerns me is that McClean was the number one left back up to about 2 weeks ago, for some reason he appears now to be number 3?. Mystifying 😄

He was atrocious. You could have rigged a wheelie bin to go up and down the line and it still would’ve found a Stoke player roughly the same number of times. Continually under no pressure just spammed the ball straight into the shins of one of their players.

After tonight,we must have the worst fullbacks in the league Jesus !!!!Ward is bad enough but Edwards is awful,we nearly conceded twice first half when Edwards was ball watching and not aware of players coming in behind him,he is a right back who tries to tackle with his left foot,and rarely stops the cross coming in, can't even throw a ball in without being penalised....

There were at least three instances where he just fucking powered it in field to nobody whilst under no pressure.

Hate to say I told you so Most on here we’re buzzing to have him on board. He is absolutely tripe. But you can barely blame him, he’s 34 and should be nowhere near a championship starter. No fucker was buzzing to have him on board.

One of those scissor kick up and under volley clearances...under no pressure, miss hit it and it went looping across his own box. Man alive. You wouldn't see it on a Sunday pitch.

Our lack of full back on both sides is crippling us. Both were absolutely abysmal....again.

Oh my misguided friend. We have seen far worse in my lifetime. The only thing may, and I mean may be that he looks even worse because he’s surrounded by bang average players getting pulled all over the place.

Not a one of them is any use. It’s the signings *above* the shit that has followed. The last two results might have given a hint of green shoots if it had been his own players doing the sprouting. But he’s basically been temporarily bailed out by quality players we happen to still have lying around and who have found it somewhere within them to play for a move. His philosophy is never mind the talent, “the work” is enough. This might be ok if you’re Marcelo Bielsa whipping a shoestring squad into shape but it is not a good policy if you suddenly find yourself spending riches on padding out an already bloated squad, two divisions above where you managed to throw something together previously.

He always seemed to be going up late for headers or was challenging for them about three feet behind the opposition player. That hand ball at the end as well. If he were an old horse he would have been taken to a field and put out to grass.
