It was near the corner....a bloody good save! Nowhere near the corner,if its in the corner keepers will not save a peno. Unless of coarse its a soft shot.

Hes a percentage player,championship at best who had as purple patch one season,keep him in the team and were struggling. And what did we all say? When 'El Capo' would go, Walters would be used as a squad player(at best). There's only one difference between last season........we won a point last season!

Before he took the penno, they showed a graphic on TV with where he took his last 5 kicks. 4 of them in bottom left. If Mignlet did his homework, he would find it bleeding obvious.
Walters hopes power would beat pedictability. But if you are too predictable, power is easily overcome.

Hughes has to take some of the blame for allowing him to be our designated penalty taker.

I'm not going to slaughter him, but he definitely needs taking off penalties, you can't be missing penalties with 3 minutes to go at anfield.
The ball seemed to bobble when he hit it, he should have laced it down the middle as hard as he could.

I'd rather have Etherington back taking them and he's shit at them too.

He's the worst 'designated' penalty taker I've ever seen at professional level. worse than Kavanagh? It is time for Walters to be replaced from penno duties,I agree. Don't see an obvious candiadte,Adam maybe.

Anyone hear Pulis on BT say he hopes he has the bottle to step up and take another?. He will have the bottle and that's what is worrying

Someone mentioned the three w,s need moving. Walters is no more than championship level and neither is Whelan. We will not move on until we get better in than these two. All in all the football was better and I think we possibly deserved a draw. Bego must be sick after all the great saves he made, to be let down by a shocking penalty. Give it to Charlie in future, at least he knows what he,s doing, with Walters it,s just hit and hope!

It's o.k saying get him off pens if we have someone else in the team who is equally as willing to take them.
Cost me £20 today though Jon, nice one Pal.

Fuck a duck. It's like Groundhog Day. You don't need balls to keep taking penalties when you miss most of them, but being as thick as a fucking brick helps an awful lot? First major mistake of the season.

Walters hopes power would beat pedictability. But if you are too predictable, power is easily overcome. TV did the same last season at Craven Cottage when the Fulham goalie knew exactly which way to dive and save them. Walters has two penalties, 1- bottom left, 2- over the top of the bar into the crowd.

Huth should be our peno taker! Said it a million times. Talking out your arse mate. And why am I talking out of my arse?!

He should have been taken off them 12 months ago. He misses as many as he scores and that's simply not good enough. The graphic on BT Sports said it all, Mignolet knew exactly where it was going. They research them nowadays and he'd have known it was going that way.
It should be an almost guaranteed goal with Walters it's anything but.
And it was a dreadful peno, no power and nowhere near the corner.

Limited he might be but he puts a shift in, you do need someone like this in a team, he never stops running & closing down. He is lively and must be a nightmare to watch & mark for 90 minutes because he never stands still.

I re-iterate, Walters is not good enough, and I say again, championship at best. Surely Mark Hughes can see this!

As shite as Walters. Get rid. Does nothing all game. At least with a peno there's a slim chance he'll put it in his own net from there. The days of being lauded for running around like a dog with a balloon are gone thank God, we've moved on from what Walters brings.

Typical stoke fans. First match of the season out the way (which none of us realistically expected to win) and they have found the player to abuse all season. I just wonder who would get the stick if Walters and Whelan didn't play?
I agree Walters shouldn't take penalties but if anyone deserves grief its crouch. Look how much better we were with kenwyne on.
Some good positives to take away from today's game: bego, we do have a team who can pass the ball, Wilson in midfield.
The only disappointments for me (apart from the peno) was that we backed off too much, nobody seemed to know who they were marking and crouch was utter shite.

If you want somebody who can run for 90 minutes we would be better of signing Mo Farrah.

First game of the Season and surprise surprise, Walters misses a penalty. Our new manager and his elite team really have done their homework haven't they?
