Assaidi started for the first time for Stoke yesterday and played the full ninety minutes.
Reports were mixed though most seem keen to give him more game time as fitness seem to be an issue for him at the moment.
Fast, skillfull, ineffective were adjectives I recall been most used about him.

Borini came on as a sub for Sunderland.
Can't find any comments about his performance but there seems to be a demand for him to start behind Fletcher.
It could be more based on the clubs poor performances up till now that what Fabio has done with his limited opportunities
 
On a sidenote, Gary Neville on young players and loan:

[article=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2467924/GARY-NEVILLE-column-Loan-making-men-like-Andros-Townsend.html#ixzz2iGBfDgNA ]If there is one thing a young player needs between the ages of 18-22 to help him make the step from being a talented prospect to an international and Premier League player, it is games. By which I mean proper games, in front of a real crowd that is passionate about their football and the result; playing with team-mates who are scrapping for their livelihoods; and for a manager who is under pressure week in, week out.

You might think that playing at Leyton Orient and Millwall can hardly prepare you for playing for England at Wembley. But that is where you learn to be a professional.

People talk about the challenge of playing in front of huge crowds, the atmospheres of Anfield, Elland Road or Galatasaray, some of the most hostile I have experienced. But what’s equally intimidating is playing in front of few thousand people where when you can hear every single shout from each individual fan.

I remember playing at Exeter City in an FA Cup third-round replay and that can be just as unnerving as a Champions League game. It’s no different in football or other professions. Think of the Beatles playing The Cavern Club in Liverpool or Oasis playing small clubs like the Boardwalk in Manchester and travelling up and down the country playing in front of a few hundred people. That’s where you learn your trade. That’s where you build up a back catalogue so that when you play Wembley, you’re as ready as you can be.

There will always be exceptions — players such as Cesc Fabregas at Arsenal or Wayne Rooney at Everton, who can step straight into a team at 16 — but the vast majority of players need a body of work behind them if they are ever to take on the bigger challenges.

That’s where you understand the importance of taking responsibility. And the earlier in your career you do it, the better.

Playing in the Under 21 Premier League or the reserves just isn’t the same. At Manchester United, I was told that I couldn’t call myself a senior player until I had played in 100 games. By then, you had been through three seasons of football, experienced enough highs and lows, some good patches of form and difficult periods, to know what being a footballer was about.

Too many young starlets burst on to the scene with some sparkling displays for the first team in their teens. They stay in the team for a few games and, because of the promise they have shown, they remain in the squad rather than going on loan, because they are deemed first-team players.

But they can end up trawling around the country in large squads not playing. Even training becomes disrupted as they taper for games they might play in, but never actually do. They can end up getting neither the game, nor training time, required. The problem gets worse when either the manager or player feel that going back into Under 21 games is degrading. So they end up undercooked and not ready for the heat of competition.

Coady subbed in at 82nd min (Sheff United 3-1 Crewe)
[article= http://www.sufc.co.uk/fixtures-results/match-report/index.aspx?MatchId=3631279#Y3LtcV76WViL6T7o.99]New boss Clough made two changes from the team that drew at Peterborough in midweek. Hill and King were recalled, with Coady dropping to the bench and Brandy ruled out with a virus.

In the final ten minutes Coady replaced the hard-working Taylor but Crewe were now the more offensive outfit. Grant's long-ranger was at Long and then a free-kick from Aneke struck the wall.

Blades: Long, Maguire, Hill, Flynn, Doyle, Taylor (Coady 82), McGinn, Collins, King (Miller 69), Lappin (Cuvelier 90), McMahon.
Unused: Howard, Westlake, Baxter, Murphy.[/article]

Wisdom played the entire match (Derby 1-1 Birmingham City)
[article=http://www.dcfc.co.uk/fixtures-results/match-report/index.aspx?MatchId=3631265#OFdvDtbtEx2LxBcJ.99]Head Coach McClaren handed loan signings Andre Wisdom and Simon Dawkins their home debuts at Pride Park Stadium against Birmingham, with the duo replacing Adam Smith and Mason Bennett respectively from the side that overcame Watford last weekend.

Derby County: Grant (GK), Wisdom, Keogh, Buxton, Forsyth, Eustace, Bryson, Hughes (Jacobs 86’), Ward, Dawkins (Bennett 66’), Martin (Sammon 60’).[/article]

Robinson sent off after 85 mins (Blackpool 2-2 Blackburn) - 2nd red card, 1st was due to accumulation of 2 yellows in a match
[article=http://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/fixtures-results/match-report/?matchid=3631260&tcmuri=920569#4EP8siRescOjIEVZ.99]A long throw found it's way to Rhodes, and the striker's goal-bound effort was handled by Jack Robinson, forcing the referee to even up the penalties.

It was Campbell who was central to the drama, as he went in late on his former team mate, Gilks. A mass-brawl sparked out, with Campbell and MacKenzie involved, Jack Robinson also entered the melee, along with the majority of the players, forcing the referee to take action.

With little options available to him, the referee reduced both sides to ten men for the final stages, with Campbell and Robinson seeing red.

Blackpool: Gilks, Basham, MacKenzie, Broadfoot, Robinson, Ince, Martinez, Dobbie (Barkhuizen 72), Gosling, Bishop, Fuller (Davies 70)

[article=http://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/news/article/rae-blackburn-2013-1136845.aspx#rcKtrmvV0dA7OXue.99]With Blackpool leading 2-1 as the game entered the final ten minutes, a late DJ Campbell challenge sparked a mass brawl which involved the majority of players.

The result, a red card apiece, with Campbell and Jack Robinson being sent for an early bath, and Rae feels that did impact the final moments.

“He’s lost control DJ, coming back to Blackpool he’s lost his way a bit, and we’re disappointed because we did lose all rhythm at that stage.

“There are a lot of players coming together, from my point of view if the opposition are coming in I want my players to stand up and be counted for. You don’t obviously want punches and head butts, but obviously you want people to be controlled.

“The young boy (Robinson) doesn’t need to get involved, you let the referee do that. I’ve done it myself, it is OK me standing here, but that will be a learning curve for Jack, because he is a talented kid.

“We’re obviously disappointed with the result, but in terms of desire the boys bring to the table and the togetherness speaks volumes for them,” said Rae. [/article]
 
Borini consigns the maggies to a derby defeat. I hope that earns a few appearances as I think he'll thrive there.

Hope to see more of this!

Well, he's just following the example set by his manager:


Paul Ince received a five-match stadium ban after shouting 'I'll knock you f*****g out you c***' and "violently shoving" a fourth official during a match last month.

That is according to evidence of the FA hearing, which has unveiled the full story of the Blackpool manager's rant and assault on fourth official Mark Pottage during a match at Bournemouth last month.

Ince was sent to the stands after throwing a water bottle that struck a female spectator, before his incredible reaction after the final whistle.

Referee Oliver Langford said in the report: "At the end of the game as we left the field of play as a team of match officials we were confronted by a clearly very irate Mr Paul Ince.

"On confronting us Mr Ince asked why he had been sent to the stand. I explained to Mr Ince the reason why he had politely been asked to leave the technical area. It was then a clearly frustrated Mr Ince had said 'and where's your busy f****r of a fourth?'.

"Mark Pottage, the fourth official, was stood behind Mr Ince at the time and said 'I'm here'.

"Mr Ince then turned around and violently shoved Mr Pottage with two hands in to the chest. Stewards then quickly stepped in and tried to usher Mr Ince to the dressing room area.

"As this occurred Mr Ince, being restrained by stewards and players of Blackpool, was repeatedly shouting in an aggressive manner 'I'll knock you f*****g out you c***' to Mr Pottage."
 
[article]Blackpool could be forced into the loan market to solve a defensive crisis.

Paul Ince’s men have been in superb form at the back, having kept three clean sheets in their last four games.

But after the sending off to Jack Robinson and injury to Craig Cathcart, Pool are all of a sudden looking a little bare.

“We might have to have a look at the loan market as we are becoming a bit fragmented,” said assistant manager Alex Rae.

“Isiah Osbourne is out injured too, so we are maybe a little bit short.

“We are starting to be a little bit threadbare in a defensive area.

“Hopefully the chairman is in a good mood this week!”

Defender Robinson has received a four match ban instead of the usual three due to Saturday being the second time this season he’s been sent off.

After reviewing video footage of the incident involving DJ Campbell, Pool are unlikely to appeal the decision.

[article]GOAL! Birmingham 0-1 STOKE
Stoke soon make the breakthrough though and what a goal it is as Oussama Assaidi scores his first goal for the Potters after joining on loan from Liverpool. The forward lets fly from 25 yards which the keeper can only help into the net.[/article]

Stoke City FC@stokecity41m
Goal of the season for Stoke so far! Arnautovic feeds Muniesa who back heels it into the path of Assaidi who fires home #scfc
Stoke City FC@stokecity39m
Assaidi blasts it in off the underside of the bar - 1-0 to the Potters - 11 mins gone #scfc
Stoke City FC@stokecity5m
Wade Elliot sent off right at the end of the first-half for a allegedly raising his arm against Assaidi who went down holding his head
 
elbow on Assaidi

just in case you thought that he raised his arm to slap him or something.
 
Assaidi scored tonight against Birmingham in the league cup. How much did we buy him for?
 
yeah i went and checked after i made the post (you'd think i'd do that beforehand)

Least he's getting games in a top league
 
Suso looking good. Tell you what, that Rodrigo chap ain't too shabby either, although will he do it on a cold wet night at the Stoke?
 
[article=http://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/sheffield-united/sheffield-united-loan-ace-loving-life-at-the-lane-1-6239390]Sheffield United midfielder Conor Coady has revealed he would be interested in staying at Bramall Lane until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old, on a six-month loan deal from Liverpool, is expected to return to Merseyside in January.

But Coady has told The Star he is enjoying life at the League One club and would be open to his deal being extended.

“I am very happy here,” he said. “It is a fantastic club. All the lads and the staff have made me feel very welcome and the fans have been great.

“I am loving every moment at the club. The move has been really beneficial for me. I feel I have developed by playing regular first-team football.

“If that [staying all season] was an option, it would definitely be something I would look at.

“Right now, I am just concentrating on getting my head down, playing well and we will see what happens.”

Coady, who captained England at last summer’s FIFA under-20 World Cup, was recruited by former United boss David Weir in July. The Liverpudlian has made 15 appearances since linking up with the South Yorkshire outfit. After coming on as a late substitute against Crewe, Coady was handed his first start under Nigel Clough in last Saturday’s 3-2 victory over Colchester United in the first round of the FA Cup.

“I have had to wait for my chance under the new gaffer so I was really made up to play at Colchester,” he said. “I played in a bit of an unfamiliar role on the right hand side of midfield but I enjoyed it.”

Fresh from securing their first away win of a turbulent season, United will be chasing a third home victory on the spin when they entertain Gillingham on Saturday.

Coady said: “I don’t know why it has been a struggle away from home but it is time to forget about that now. It is a good place to be at the moment and hopefully we can build on the performance and result we got against Colchester when we play Gillingham.”

United have scored six goals in three outings since Clough’s appointment, winning two of his three matches in charge.

When asked if he felt United had turned the corner, Coady said: “I hope we have. It was great to score three times at Colchester but we have got to keep working hard.”[/article]
 
Coady: Bristol City 0-1 Sheff Utd

Clough made three changes for the trip to Bristol. Midfielders McGinn and Coady, as well as forward Taylor, were recalled - Hill, Flynn and Miller all dropped to the bench.

The final noteworthy point of an unspectacular first half was a yellow card for Coady, who, like Maguire before him, fouled Cunningham.

The first three opportunities of the second half fell to the Blades as the home crowd began to voice their displeasure. From a break, Coady fired wide, despite being unopposed, then Taylor had two efforts, he blasted wide and then hit the second straight at goalkeeper Parish.

It was the Blades, however, who made the vital and decisive breakthrough on 77 minutes. A patient build-up on the right, involving Coady, McGinn and Porter, resulted in McMahon wriggling free and delivering a low cross which flashed off defender FLINT and into his own net.
