I always forget Stoke were like the Dutch and Brazilian teams of the 70s and 80s. The Delap long throw was so beautiful on the eye.
They won’t improve until he stops trying to explain away their deficiencies. To say that they adopted long ball tactics in order to counteract our press is laughable. He failed to give any credit for our second goal (a simple ball around the corner), and then didn’t acknowledge their goal was essentially a gimme.
What on Earth were they then? Mowatt and James will have sore necks tonight having to watch the ball go over their head the whole time.
Unbelievable with the number of long balls they did. Only one team trying to play football today. He's a t0sser
Two long ball teams on show today, some of our passing at times was atrocious. We won't get away with it like today and Wednesday too often.
ooooooh, Pulis is a ....... he wears a ...........'s cap and when he wears it back to front he looks a .......... ........
I'm still convinced they'll get better with him in charge. They'll be harder to beat in 3-4 games time and will sneak the odd win. Feel free to bump...especially you Scott
