Every week, his name appears among the starters, and yet I've only seen him play well twice (at most). The bloke's a complete fairy- lightweight, timid in the tackle- and completely unsuited to the battleground that is a Championship midfield. It's not even like he's particularly good on the ball. His passing I'd say is no better than average, and he doesn't seem the type to go past people either. I don't know what he's supposed to offer- he's a complete nothing player, yet the manager seems to have an inexplicable hard-on for him. His constant inclusion is a massive reason why we are where we are. It's mainly because this manager hasn't a clue!

First name on the teamsheet again. What does he have to do to get dropped? Awful player

Completely anonymous again. He looks so weak under the slightest challenge.

I watched from the Brown goal and he was useless. Weak as piss and what was that corner about at the end? Why cross? And then it was so shit. Thick as.

He was not bad Thought he was decent first half v Cardiff but poor second half and got worse as the game went on Today he kept going and going

Good first touch, good first time passer, finds space well for a young player and links up well with Fosu But doesn't look like scoring or making goals, weak in the tackle and in the air I think he'll end up being a good player but not whilst at Stoke Certainly seen worse players but yeah he wouldn't be first choice for sure

Really? That can’t be serious.

I only saw the second half but he contributed very little.
I've seen cuddly toys with more upper body strength.

A midfielder who keeps possession but doesn't create needs a lot more metal and I've seen nothing to suggest he's anything like creative or ambitious enough for the role he keeps getting given.

Just that given his age he's likely to improve if he doesn't he will drop down the leagues

Only very, very good players can get away with coming off the pitch with no mud on them, he isn’t one of them.

Thought he was OK nothing more nothing less. Powell has to come in ahead of him. Great 3 points and improved second half.

I thought he was very poor again.
Has a nice pass in him but he isn’t suited for the muckier part of the game.
