I cant do the link thingy but if anyone is in any doubt about his character they should watch his interview after the game. A true captain. The lad pulls no punches, no clichés, just pure, raw emotion.

Like him immensely, I did though think he was a bit subdued today, anyone can have an off day though. There were lots worse.

He alludes to the training as well. Time to stop treating it like some kind of fucking wacky warehouse and get down to serious work.

Yes that's the one. He's as pissed off as we are. To think we had Laurent as captain before.

He was far too deep to affect the game today. He has too much ability to be playing there

Has the new manager come in wanting to be liked, not ruffling feathers? I think it is a continuation and he probably sees in Schumacher somebody with a dedication to train properly and is pissed off by other players application. I didn’t see the game today but Schumacher said some players were ambling back when told to bust a gut to get behind the ball when we lost it. Those players need fucking naming and shaming as that has everything to do with application and hard work for the team as any ability.

This club is missing a Military Type leader who takes zero fucking prisoners and makes people fear for their livelihoods if they are not willing to earn their money. I’m guessing it’s been that way for 7 or more years. Powder puff ideology with a marshmallow spine. Everything about Stoke City screams weakness. Good on the lad for speaking up at least.

You’re talking about another Alex Neil type and that didn’t work either. The players just ended up hating him and he had to go (I bet he was happy to see the back of the place and wished he never left Sunderland). The common factor in our demise is the owners. The game has moved on and they haven’t. Hiring Ricky Martin was another of their big mistakes.

He mayo may not be here next season though, and that kind of leader is thing the manager can’t afford to lettuce be without.

Make him captain. I don’t see enough players in our squad hurting or caring. He clearly does care and talks intelligently & from the heart.

He speaks total sense without throwing his team mates under the bus. It’ll come good. We have the makings of a decent and entertaining side

He was far too deep to affect the game today. He has too much ability to be playing there He’s been a revelation as the deep-lying playmaker though. Play him as as one or the 8s, and you lose his orchestrative skills, plus it means Pearson being the 6 and being a pillock getting carded every game.

Just followed his interview. There is in him the makings of a great captain. He is seething with anger.
Quotes - first half both teams created great chances, they scored we didn’t. Second half we created two great chances at the beginning, missed them AGAIN.
He is furious and that shows that he really cares. Our forwards are shameful. Each and every one of them needs at least 10 good chances to score 1. If I was Schumacher I would wake them up at the crack of dawn and make them shoot at a barn door from 5 yards out all day long, and repeat and repeat. All rubbish the whole lot of them

I would say the players that don't like it are the sort that got us in a mess in the first place, I don't think he dug anyone out I think he just said we need to be better but he definitely was angry
