Definitely need to try and raise some revenue by selling him and buy someone who has an end product and not just a trickster. He can never do a trick without tripping himself up though MrCoke He hasn't actually got anything but luckily for him he has a blind army of followers who can't see how many times he wastes our good chances.

That effort at the end was quite embarrassing. Side foot it in and we get a point but ronaldo wannabe tries smash the back out of the net. Fucking wank Arnie that

The lad is dreadful, ruins every chance, every cross is awful, every shot is beyond awful. Pathetic.... This is me trying to get reactions, he fucking awful and anyone who wants to have a discussion about it I'm happy to do so as I can't see him ever being premiership quality, he just isn't. Get a grip! His crossing is quality, he tracks back at every opportunity. Okay his shooting is poor but nobody(despite many trying to) can fault his work rate. The guy is a great player, he just needs a good run and a bit more confidence.

It is - that there are some here who still drool over him. What has he done the whole season !!!!????? Fuck all that's what ! Just cause he walks like he's some Ronaldo, he isn't . Not even one goal this season ! He was put straight on goal but was unable to control it ! Then gets a last minute chance and blazes it out if the Stamford bridge roof! RUBBISH Who's drooling? He did alright when he came on. Nothing more or less. He was more involved than Ireland for example, but yet again it is a thread that is turning into a thread that is micro analysing his performance, peddled by pathetic people with pathetic agenda's.

Disappointed with that missed chance at the end, but overall he did okay when he came on.
Would have started him today. He has showed signs of his old form recently.
I like both Ireland and Adam, but you can't play both of them at the same time unless you're at home to a shit team.

His end product borders on nil.so much better than him out there .Before someone says he didnt cost a lot theres better for the same money in the championship.

Other than that false claim all you can give him credit for is being a tryer? Wilko was a tryer and he scored about as often as Arnie, maybe he should get the chance on the wing? Or Shotton while we're at it? (I know that's too far lol)

Arnie isn't top draw - we got what we paid for. To be honest when people talk about us improving he is one who would definitely be in line to be replaced.

RUBBISH The last minute chance that you point out, that fell at his feet, defender closing him down, that one?? Remind me again who else has an effort on goal in 90 minutes other than Charlie and Nzonzi? His "poor touch" is one of very, very few that I can remember since he has come to the club. The reason that he doesn't score 40 a season as some would like him to do to class him as "any good" is why he is playing for Stoke and not Real Madrid! He should have started today in place of Moses! You cannot expect a player to score frequently and create a hat loads when he plays for the last 20 minutes of each game!

There's a lot of players who don't get half as much shit as Arnie. Wilson and Whelan are fucking garbage.

I'm not expecting him to score 40 a season like Ronaldo. But then I don't expect him to strut around the pitch mimicking Ronaldo and scoring 0 goals in a whole bloody season

He really needs to just relax, and use a more simple technique. Every time he shoots, it's like he's trying to make the ball move in the air (Reynold's number) like the Ronaldo free kicks always trying to be too clever, he should just hit it clean like he would if he was hitting a pass. He did it for Austria in the week when he scored.

He is hit and miss and rarely looks interested although that is probably just his way. I think he is very interested but let's his frustration get the better of him. I have to say though that the chants of Arnie, Arnie are fucking embarrassing seeing how he doesn't do very much to warrant it.

He does try that's my point. He tries too hard at times which is why he gets so pissed off when he makes a mistakes. What has Wilko go to do with anything? As a right back he wasn't in the team to provide goals, again mentioning Shotton or any other current/former Stoke right back is irrelevant.

Probably shouldn't be on this thread, but Mark IMHO made a mistake taking Diouf off (unless he was injured that is). We really needed his pace up front.

He was put straight on goal for a one on one on courtois but failed to control the ball Forgot about that one. I don't think he was 'put through on goal' in the way you suggest though. The ball came slightly behind him and he miscontrolled it. He had many great touches, kept possession really well and made some good runs. Not saying he did great, I said he did 'okay'. He is given 20 minutes away from home against the best team in the country, so I'm not surprised he didn't have a massive impact. People on here think that every player must be either amazing or complete wank. Most of our players are somewhere in between and Arnie is no different. He's often very frustrating, but when he's on form he can be really good.

He hasn't had a good season and obviously Hughes isn't seeing enough in training to pick him regularly. Pity as there is a gifted footballer in there....He's never been any good in front of goal, though and that is definitely a flaw in his game, It seems he loses his head when presented with an opportunity to score.

For the second half of last season, I'd never seen a better Stoke player than Arnie, people have been quick to forget just how incredible he was. It's disappointing that he hasn't found THAT form again but he's been fine this season. He hasn't been brilliant, but he's been okay. He played well when he came on against the best team in the league, and despite what the OP is trying to portray, a first time volley from the edge of the area isn't a 4 yard tap in.
Unfortunately there's a fairly large number of moronic twats in our support who, however well he plays, have decided pre game that they don't like him and are going to focus on every less than good thing he does, or just make stuff up. It's pretty fucking obvious that if you're criticising his work rate, you're not actually taking notice of what's right in front of your eyes, but it doesn't stop pockets of 'support' abusing him for being lazy.
It's fucking shameful - whether you like or hate his cocky style, he is a good footballer with the potential to be an excellent footballer.
