I got the ground early today, around half and hour to 40 mins before kick off and watched the lads warm up. Ric was fine then 2 minutes into the game hes hobbling around and changing his boots! What type of professional does that ! surely he should have changed his boots before we kicked off ? he seemed dis-interested to me and was poor, glad he came off. Bad attitude today. I`m not sure if he and Beatts can play together, they both made the same runs. Thought Etherington,Pugh,Shawcross and Whelan were great though !

He came off due to a wound in his arm, it hindered his slapping team mates abilities and point disparingly at the Ref

Fuller was abysmal. Greedy on the ball and didn't look interested when he hadn't got it. IMO Beattie and Kitson is the way to go. If we can get the ball to Ethers he can create for these two.

i agree he had a bad attitude today. but as for the boots thing, one came off when he fell under a challenge in the first minute. he just seems to struggle putting them back on! happened against united too!

Sorry but dont rate Fuller as a prem striker - in fact dont much rate him full stop. A real show pony who dives about too much and throws his dummy when he doesnt fool the ref - we played better when he went off. I know he can turn it on now and again but not often enough. In a Pulis world where everyone works aaaarrrrrd how does fuller get away with his lazy performances? must have the negatives to the pics cresswell has!
beats and kitson sounds a far better bet in the future.

He was getting on people's tits today. Boots on, boots off, moaning, whinging or sat on his arse. We've had about 10 minutes from him in total and his attitude stinks at the moment.
(And I rate the bloke!)

Fuller is still a legend but not interested at all today, Beattie is top class and Kitson should be given a final chance to prove himself in a stoke shirt,

I thought he looked like he wasnt interested. I would not play him until his attitude changes because he owed us a performance today and he didnt give us one.

Fuller didn't do much for the team today. Now Delap will be out for three games, so I hope Lawrence will be back, and then Beattie and Kitson maybe won't be a bad choice. Fuller can start on the bench, and if he's interested he can come on and chase and run towards the end.

We should not consider selling Fuller.
He didn't have the best of games today granted, but he is a match winner and they are hard to come by.

Yes let's slag someone off after a victory
Only at Stoke...
He does need a kick up the arse but he will earn us points if he is with us

It's only when he doesn't score that people pick up on his "bad body language", when he scores nobody gives a shit, he's still a great player imo, I wouldn't want to lose him.
He's a striker, he's not supposed to run around like a mad man closing people down, thats not his job.

Fuller's brilliant. First game back but still looked OK. Give him another game or so and him and beats will be tremendous.

Ay up lads! Lets all have a calm down! This is Fuller we're talking about. Without the inclusion of Beattie we wouldn't be having this conversation!
We all know he's sporadic and technically able but for his temperament...but Beattie will beat him hands down if he doesn't curb it!
Remember...Fuller is Stoke City...let's stay loyal, eh?

passably his worst game in a stoke shirt today. Fuller is a fantastic player who could get into any team in the prem when his head is on, unfortunately it's not just now. until he want to perform he'll be a passenger.
With the arrival of Beattie has his nose been put out of place now he's no longer the superstar?

Some of the negative comments about Fuller are way over the top.
I dont quite know what people expect of the bloke but some peoples expectations are far too high. Get in the real world, we are Stoke not Man Utd.
Fuller has been a great servant to this club and scored some vital goals for us.
Which idiot said he isn't good enough for the Prem?? My God how deluded are you.
Fuller will chase every loose ball which is something Kitson never does. If Fuller and Beattie can play together then we have got ourselves a real quality forward line.
Yes I agree he gets frustrated but that is only because he wants to do well for the team. Id rather have that than him do a Kitson and storm off down the tunnel in the huff.
People have such short memories when it comes to football.
