His work rate is pathetic, too much of a luxury when you're scrapping for every point.
After watching Beattie and what he did for the club yesterday, it makes you realise how lazy Fuller is. After his West Ham debarcle you would think that he would of done everything to win back the affections of the Stoke support but he just strolled around with his usual attitude.
IMO it's now time for Kitson/Sidibe and Beattie and time for us to get rid of Fuller.
Sorry Ric but you're not worshipped by ALL Stoke fans and you need to either dig in or fuck off.

still our best match winner,get the ball in behind and he is hard to shake off. To be honest i don't won't him chasing after pointless ball's,save it for when he burst's through defence's. He's never ever tackled and chased back in a stoke shirt, why worry about it now.

I think it could be the beginning of the end for Fuller. He really has a massive ego at the moment and it is rubbing people up the wrong way!

He does bloody annoy me, but he is without doubt one we need to hang on to. If/when he gets back to his form, we'll be swooning over him again.
A Fully fit and involved Fuller alongside Beattie, would terrify even the best defences in this division.

All this talk of "lets fuck Fuller off" is completely nonsensical and the perpetrators of which are completely devoid of the nous that would enable them to acknowledge the grander scheme of things.
Fuller admittedly wasn't at his best yesterday, but he is a crucial player for Stoke. Take Fuller out of the equation yesterday and you find yourself looking at the prospect of seeing the desperately limited Creswell or the extremely ineffective Kitson leading the line.
Fuller's got a huge part to play. With respect, I can't believe I'm even contemplating the idea of "Fucking Fuller off". His ability to run with the ball and take players out of the game is invaluable. Please don't be so simple as to think that because we now have BT, Fuller is surplus to requirements. Different players, different options, different threat.

I want him to stay, but at the end of the day it's mostly down to him and his attutude.
Tony obviously thinks he's the dogs bollocks - but we all know what Tony's like when it comes to his players WANTING to do it for Stoke. If he carries on looking as half-arsed as he did yesterday, then the writing will definitely be on the wall. (Especially now people are comparing him to someone like Beattie. He really does look like he'd run through a brick wall for us).

i'd keep him, but kitson beatts and mama all seem to put in a full shift. The thing with his boots happens to often, how many times on boxing day?? His head drops and he gets all mard arse.
he does scare the oppositions defence with his pace and he will score more goals but i would like to see him with his head up and working for the team for 90+ minutes not just when it suits him.
he will have to realise that when kitson starts hitting the net and beattie is on double figures for stoke and mama is back he wont be the biggest dog in the kennel. or should that be bear in the bearpit.!!
gooooaaaaarrrrrn stoke

Isn't that just what we do need at the moment Mark? (Figure of speach and all that).
you could say the same about Abdy Faye, Ryan Shawcross and Danny Pugh yesterday.
Call it "never say die" if you like, but it's the attitude that was needed to get us 3 points against Man City (with 10 men for the most part) and another 16 points by the end of the season.

We need someone like Fuller tbh he pisses me off most matches he just expects the ball just to go too him & then tries to take on the whole team & loses it & blame's the team...but without him we'd be pretty shite upfront Beattie & Kitson have no real pace, Mama doesn't score very often, Kitson hasn't scored at all!, where as Fuller can score & has pace just unlike the other 3 though...he's a lazy shit!

Ric is class and if he shows the will then he should always play We have no-one else in the squad who can score like Ric I just wonder if he will sulk about not being top dog? hope not We also now have two white strikers which gives the lie to some comments about TP?  |

no way - Fullers a player that can win a game on his own, maybe he's not autoamtic first choice any longer but he's still a valuable part of the team and was a huge part of the reason we are playing in the premier leauge.
BTW, RE: his boot falling off- didn't someone say he hard part of it cut away due to a ankle injury or something? is this still the case?

You've got to be thick to want Ricardo Fuller out of Stoke City, no matter what people say, he's still our best and most influential player, whether he is starting or on the bench.
Ricardo , to me anyway, always gives 100% for this club and nothing less, he leads the line very well, it's just that he's up against Cresswell and Beattie in the "work 'ard" stakes,they're on a different level. I'm sorry , but i don't see either of them go on explosive runs and that's exactly what Ricardo saves himself for. The likes of Torres etc don't work hard to Cresswell degree, they're much like Fuller in that department - Fuller's our Torres, i'd have Sidibe and Beattie on at the moment, but Fuller should have a huge part to play.
I totally agree with GlassKnees - we NEED Fuller, i can't see us staying up without his input. He's destroyed the likes of Spurs, Villa and Arsenal already .

There were people slagging TP for not picking him last week and TP said he wasn't ready, I think he still wasn't.
What Ric did at West ham was appalling and will ultimately see him playing in the lower leagues brfore he should. However yesterday he was poor but we can hardly put the boot in to him just yet, he deserves time to find his feet again

Hes only been vital cos he has always been the focal point of our Plan A
He sulks too much and doesnt work enough. In a relegation battle he will go missing too much

I don't want him out, but on the form that he was on yesterday, he shouldn't even be on the subs bench!!!! |

Makes me wonder if some who are posting on here saw or went to the game. Fuller had his boot taken off by that Man City defender in the first couple of minutes, he was fouled in the box and I thought it should have been a free kick for obstruction. He had to go off and have stitches and he was clearly hurt later on the first half, he was limping, some of his running and chasing those balls out wide and in the channels early on were great and were causing them problems, Beattie, Fuller and Etherington look as if they could really work welll together.   |

Fuller, quite rightly, has not been given much leeway since his return and people are now a lot less patient with him. This is reasonable.
Some people are behaving like absolute retards though.
Fuller played 45 minutes carrying an injury to his foot. People are blarting here and there about how his boot coming off means that he has a terrible attitude and he should be strung up for standing off the pitch. How about watching it again and looking as the Man City player's studs tear his boot in half along the back? It was a clear foul that the referee refused to give. Fuller came over to the dugout with the damaged boots to get a swap, although nothing was forthcoming initially. He was sat waiting because he couldn't come back on the pitch while he had one boot torn to tatters.
People continued to then go on about him disappearing down the tunnel after the Amdy Faye incident. Again, simple enough explanation. He comes over to the dugout with blood on his shirt and shorts, pointing at his arm. He goes down the tunnel and comes out with his arm strapped up, new shorts (with the number 51 on) and a new shirt.
By this point the guy was carrying two injuries. But whatever, let's stab him to death.
