1. Lewis Koumas
The Welsh striker has been Stoke City's most disappointing performer recently. After a strong start to the season, Koumas has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only once in his last 12 matches.
Over 20 games in the EFL Championship, he has scored 3 goals and contributed 1 assist, a disappointing return for the team's main attacking option.
His current form has raised questions about his ability to lead the line effectively, putting additional pressure on the team to find solutions in attack.
The Bigger Picture
Stoke City's recent struggles are not just a reflection of individual underperformance but also of a collective lack of cohesion.
Narcís Pelach’s side needs to regroup and address these issues, both on and off the field. With the transfer window approaching, there may be opportunities to bring in reinforcements, but for now, these three players will need to step up and help restore the team's competitive edge.
