Stoke fans lose their shit so much over Jon Walters’ goal and assist that Messi comparisons start

It's what he does.

There will come a day when kids will argue who was better: Jon Walters or Lionel Messi? Sure, Messi has the most natural talent but could he do it without the Barca players around him? Could he impact a worse team like Jon Walters does? One of these superstars does it on a cold midweek night in Stoke very regularly. The other hasn't even bothered trying to prove himself on that stage yet - five Ballon d'Or awards nothing. Walters put Watford to the sword on Saturday with a goal and a glorious assist. His one-touch, curling, volleyed dink over the top for Joselu was simply sublime as he punished Heurelho Gomes for a poor kick-out. One instinctive, controlled pass and Joselu was on his way. One improvised, measured piece of genius and the inevitable comparisons with Lionel Messi began It seems that neither Messi or Ronaldo Walters can do anything without the world comparing them to one another. If Messi had done it... https://twitter.com/Jonmayor28/status/711338581218951169 If Messi had done it... https://twitter.com/SamTheLost/status/711222946170327040 Messi didn't do it. It was Super Jon Walters. https://twitter.com/arnaringason/status/711422546118311936 We already knew he could bang them in for fun like. https://twitter.com/WestpointEvans/status/711223726176608256 It really is that simple. https://twitter.com/phillipsjoe27/status/711368894330568704 That pass though. https://twitter.com/ScfcBen/status/711223199661314049 His work rate never gets overlooked. https://twitter.com/rachelgreen1404/status/711457069291999232 We said it before you. https://twitter.com/Eagleye_UK/status/711341201140670464 Jon Walters: The most underrated man in football. So does Eamon Dunphy, except he cries about it. https://twitter.com/thedfssale/status/711337444931719168   This guy is a fan. https://twitter.com/hoppo13/status/711309541783289856 So much so that his bio is homage to Walters. People even want him to sort Robert Huth out for whinging. Here's Huth's tweet. About a different game. https://twitter.com/robert_huth/status/711268845730832386 Still, Super Jon will toughen him up. https://twitter.com/stokie_stace/status/711342623227777024   He does actually. https://twitter.com/NicholasMendola/status/711210829237108737 Imagine Jon Walters was your cousin...
