He looks lively in a run around alot way as usual,but he didnt create anything or look like scoring. Hes featured in most games this season off the bench at least, how many times has he changed a game?

We were pretty good all over the pitch today I thought shcneiderlin and guly worked especially hard. Gaston was also class and our main attackin threat. Again though I think after our substitutitions were made and gaston and rickie went off you knew we wouldnt score. Jay rod still doesnt seem to bring alot to the table, I think we would have had more chance of snatching the win with lambert and ramirez still on

Exactly we showed stoke way to much respect, for 90 percent of the second half we just booted the ball clear giving it straight back to stoke. Why didn't we pass it around and make them chase the ball ? Or get our creative players on like Ramirez and try to hit them on the break . I don't usually hate on Adkins but the coward football he had us play in the 2nd half cost us this game I

why was we so negative in the second half, stoke were down to ten men we had a two goal lead yet we just tried to hoof the ball clear for the majority of the second half. we needed a outlet yet took off puncheon for richardson,ramirez could have really helped us this game yet didnt get off the bench. adkins treated stoke with ten men like barcelona and in the end we got what we deserved. for me that was the worst decisions by adkins this season 2 points thrown away

That is fair, trouble is if lallana is out for a period we might see rickie drop behind rodriguez and gaston out wide left like 2nd half yesterday ramirez looks much more effective playing off striker. Its taking 2 of our key men out of favoured positions so hes really gonna have to take the chance with both hands

Trouble is I think if lallana is injured ,we will go back to trying to fit him in again, I do hope he comes good but I say what I see and so far he looks in a rush all the time and just trys to get his shot off as quick ad possible. I think maybe hes a confidence player if I remember correctly he started slow for burnley then hit four in a cup game and didnt stop scoring after that

With jay rod the technique and composure doesnt seem there, He kind of snatches at his shots instead of trying to place them, I did think in the first 20 minutes of the game he looked energetic and pacy,but so far he hasnt contributed much for us at,all.

funny you should say that torres comment pingwing rodriguez reminds me a bit of the nowadays torres , its the down on his confidence/scared look on his face and the way nothing ever seems to come off for him that gives me this feeling.if i see jrod coming off the bench or his name in the starting line up it doesnt exactly fill me with confidence. the other problem with jrod is he is blocking the far more impressive looking mayuka from getting games and sub appearences. this is a shame because i think mayuka can turn a game like he did at spurs i like the look of mayuka but if were not going to use him he too looks a waste

adams value is determined by the club, hes worth what we would let him go for and since hes a real key player for us and probably on a par with ramirez for being important to the team. id say it would take more then 15m to temp us to sell. as far as i can see we dont need the money, adams happy and we are happy with him so if you want him ure gonna have to pay well over the odds

cant believe some of thes comments, i think he is definately worth the 12million hes got class written all over him and for a number 10 playmaker also has the pace and tricks to beat players. gaston and lallana both look top 6 premier league material in my eyes, if anybody is a waste of money its rodriguez hes had numerous chances and never brings anything to the team,mayukas done more in his 2 sub appearences then j rods done all season

I thought shaw was going to be a gareth bale type fullback. But to me he looks a more sensible defend first type of player. He does look solid though I think with our defense already being shaky the way shaws playing has really helped us to be more solid as a team

Ive voted for fonte another solid performance from him. Cork played quite well too but we didnt turn it on like we did sunday

Lallana has been our best player this season for me. Always involved in all our good attackin moves. Hes got great skill and flair and since being captain He seems to have that extra bit of determination to really lift the team and lead by example. the last 3 games the interplay between lallana gaston and punch has been mouthwatering:-)

I think de ridder could still be a good impact sub ive always liked him. Hes one of those players that looks really comfortable with the ball and also has the pace to make things happen. His problem has been his decision making. Tbh though it doesnt look like adkins rates him

im not really bothered any more i do like nigel and he plays good attractive football but its not getting results. we spent as much as west ham but ****ed about buying championshi players and youngsters. apart from ramirez and possibly clyne our signings haven't really improved us. i know everyone likes to blame the signings on cortese but im not sure, i think if we had given redknapp 30m at the start of the season the team would probably look a lot different.

one i could see us going for is rhys williams from boro. we were being heavily linked with him on twitter b4 he picked up a bad injury. could hdajfu?

but i think the way we play makes it harder for our poor defense because we get hit on the break . id rather let them commit all there players forward then we have the space on the break

i think i would try starting mayuka instead for puncheon. 4231 invite qpr on to us with cork and morgan sitting deep then hit qpr on the counter we would hopefully get more space this way for our creative players. just like westbrom done to us

with all due respect buddy i think its time to buy premier league proven players now. although lens does look decent . id suggest roger johnson matt upson types. we need to take a leaf out of west ham book for the defensive side of the game.add a bit of muscle and experience to aif the flair and finesse and we will be fine. i wouldn't swap gaston or lallana for any 1 from west ham but as a team there just so much harder to beat we need the balance

all i have seen from jrod so far is a player who runs about a lot, he doesnt beat players hasnt got the strength to hold the ball to be honest he looks like a boy trying to play a mans game. i havent been at all impressed so far

I think yoshida looks comfirtable on the ball and has got god passing. But still not,sure if he makes us any more as solid

cortese is the most important person at this club end of. u could always feel we was going places with him in charge whatever manager he chose was getting a great job with a club that going places because of the ambition and backing. be it pardew adkins or whoever else nc picked we would eventually got to where we were aiming. i dont understand the grief cortese gets on here from some people? are you ungratefull or just missing the rupert lowe days? think where we were before cortese was in charge, on the verge of extinction, now we are in the premier league signing the likes of gaston ramirez. nc has been great for us stop whining and enjoy!!

Gazza should be our number . has hardly put a foot wrong hes more agile and his kicking is beast

First half was worst ive seen us play this season. But as soon as mayuka came on we looked far more dangerous and had enough chances in that period to get something out of the game. Maya shoukd have found the net from his header. Im still not sure about rodriguez myself he looks a bit of a jack of all trades master of none to me, rarely has enough skill and guile to beat his man but well done for first goal. Ive been much more impressed with mayuka in the time ive seen him he looks a real livewire hope we are not gonna just use hom as an impact player
