Okay. Let's start with Saido then and effectively have 10 men on the pitch. He did what he asked of by holding up the ball making the runs. He is just having no luck. When he scores it will be the hardest chance he's had. He does need someone to play alongside him though. I would have taken Shaq off and played him and Crouch together. Saido seems the only one who can run off the shoulder and he'd get the ball from a flick on. You can see the runs he makes, he just never gets it, like Arnie didn't. I watched run after run by Saido but the pass never came or was too slow. Penalty not great, but he will come good. Would like to see him and Crouch as front 2

Hughes appears to me to sign players and not know how to play them . Berahino just ain't a one up top player . He tried today and was brave to step up for the pen , even though I think Shaq should have taken it because it nearly cost us in the end but for Crouch. Maybe if we can find a player to link with him he will turn it around but not in this formation .

I thought he looked decent my only criticism is when Shaqiri had that break on during the 1st half when he was running down the left Berahino seemed to pull far to wide towards the right meaning Shaq couldnt thread the ball.
I thought his pen wasn't that bad with somebody the size of Forster I'd have tried to put it on the ground.

What a waste of money!!! Offers absolutely zero from open play, and throws in a missed penalty for good measure. Absolutely garbage. Crouch needs to start from here on in. Hughes clearly can't spend money. You are full of shit

He needs to create his own chances ...come deep pick up ball turn and have a go at taking on defender and shooting ...even if it ends up in row z .....he takes no responsibility in play happy to just to lay it off ...be greedy like a mark stein ...cmon Saido

I can only remember one through ball where Saido was running toward goal. Van Dijk got a toe in to prevent the shot. He is not a back to goal striker. Not his fault we play a system totally unsuited to his strengths... Yea, it's the systems fault.... Crouch, Jesé, Walters, & Diouf must be footballing geniuses

He's lost it,he hides behind the centre halves,he does not move along the line.Even if you are having a bad time ,you can move so to move the defence around,two much money early lost the hunger.

Fucking pathetic thread after a win, the only hilarious thing is how shit some of our fans are. Agreed this is what one 'fan' said when we scored the second. 'Yes, get in Crouchy !!!!!!! Still our main man ! Probably covering up Hughes's inadequacies again.' You have to suspect that the only reason Hughes isn't starting Crouch is because it would be an admission that he's made another mistake in the transfer market.

I suspect that Hughes has another dud on his hands and the Berahino detractors on this Board will be proved right. He has never looked like a striker who could play up front on his own. If Hughes had any confidence in him he would have left him on to play alongside Crouch. But his substitution in the second half cannot have helped recover his confidence. I hope he proves me wrong, but I doubt whether Berahino has any future at Stoke.

Berahino needs a partner
He isn't big or strong enough to be a lone striker
Hughes chase's him for 2 years then plays him in a system that suits a big man. A Crouch for example.
The only person to blame for wasting 12 million pounds is Hughes.
Saido is undoubtedly talented but he's got a hopeless task in this team. Sad but true

Who got the penno for us in the first place? Berahino.
In my opinion he had a decent match today.

Ten yards out. No one allowed within 8 yards of him. Keeper not allowed to move off his line or dive until after he has shot. Netting shaqs corner was much harder, but diouf did it I was willing him to score his penalty, everyone was but his goal scoring record his abysmall.

We did. We made hard work of it due to his missed penalty. Had his penalty saved , there's a difference. Exactly. Yes he could have gone more to the corner but wasnt exactly a shit penalty kick
