cheer up son, could have been a real joker and paid 7 million for him

Shocking tonight but so were Stoke. They give him no service at all but he doesn't exactly put himself about to help himself either... 

[honeybradger]

A decent portion of stoke's fanbase seem to have written him off already, hopefully he can turn it around for them once he's got a run of games.

 

Why we thought it was a good idea to sign a youth striker for £7mil when we had 3 senior strikers and no gametime to offer him I wont understand.

very poor stoke side. 

[Clever Fox]

I was coming on here expecting to hear he hit a Hatrick tonight and many Fans calling for his early recall from his Loan.

[STUHILL]

Well, another player I have potentially got wrong. 
I was not expecting him to be our No.9 this season, but was more than ready to have him as an option from the bench. 

I guess Enzo and now Cooper, were spot on about him and he just isn't that good.

Stoke were shit and didn't create anything for him. It's all very well slating him for not putting himself about, but he's likely on instruction to occupy the central space and not drift out.  In the first half he pressed a bit but nobody else was and it went nowhere.  Middling Championship teams will have shit games throughout the season. Hopefully they get a bit more productive and so does he, but it's harsh to judge him on the back of a game like that. If Stoke were putting chances on a plate for him then fair enough, but they barely got it anywhere near him.

Reckon if he gets a goal at some point, he could go on a roll.

A sausage roll perhaps?

Waste of energy, pressing on your own.

He gets into good positions but if no one is going to find him then he will never look capable, he is an old school striker that needs to be fed.

 

 Wrong choice sending him to Stoke 

[VLC86]

That Manhoof or whatever he’s called made some atrocious decisions. Shooting from 30 yards instead of playing Cannon in etc etc. Looks a very disjointed team, could be a tough year for him.

They probably paid more than the others would. I know that’s short sighted but you can see why we would.

As part of a dodgy deal involving agents like when we signed Vesty and Bertrand because Rodgers son worked for the same firm. 

 

Full of dodgy, pointless signings is our recent history

And an injured one at that.

[Dr The Singh]

I think reality is hitting us, maybe he is just not that good

[SafewayFox]

Surely we’re not writing off Cannon from last nights game?

 

I’ve been OTT when comes to all things Leicester but even I see the madness in writing him off so early into his Stoke loan.

[Heskey2011]

7 passes, 2 in the opponents final 3rd.

 

16 duels lost 11, pffft.

 

In 89 minutes.

You mean twitter accounts?

 

Come on.

[Ian Nacho]

I think some of the issue is that he doesn't do enough aside from in front of goal. 

[adejo92]

Looks absolute dog sh!t.

 

I've heard the 'not getting service' following almost all of his appearances thus far for both us & Stoke.

 

If that's the case every game, perhaps there's a reason he doesn't get the service.

[Lineker's Left Foot]

A friend of mine is a Stoke fan and says that Cannon has had no service in the games he’s played.

 

Maybe he doesn’t take a chance on a run and expects ‘everything on a plate’?  I have always rated him when I have seen him

Not just Twitter but on Stoke's forum they're grilling him pretty harshly.

[Clever Fox]

I've always seen him more as a Poacher that a Striker or a Target man. He's not big enough or strong enough to be a physical target man and not mobile enough as a striker.

 

He does take up good positions in the box but needs a supply. I think Stoke just need to find out how to get the best out of him. Which may take a while, but I expect him to come good.
