An Hopeful Positive from chelsea game

[potterpaul]

Maybe this is the game that will help TP to see the inadequateness of our current Midfield and forward line to actually sort it in the Summer.

same as what i am thinking bro

[flea79]

can but dream that he will see this

[stokie63]

we have got to hope so.

All this will do is convince TP that he needs to buy another couple of centre halves, so that we can play two banks of four centre halves. A centre half (Wheater) is the only name the papers are currently linking us with. He doesn't do full backs and he doesn't understand Midfield and Strikers. Remind me when we last gave anyone a hammering????? 33 goals all season. Less than 1 per game.

I thought Begovic looked good.

Ryan's back

Whelan's comedy trip-I mean it was a blatant penalty but seeing as the ref missed it, it was a rayt pisser. A proper comedy trip, look away, stick the leg out, take that yer Chelsea bastard. Brilliant! ;D

[rambo61]

Hopefully he will realise he can,t let players take the piss(Tuncay) and then expect other wankers(Kitson) to toe the line!!!

We need some very decent players in the summer. I expect however, Kilbane, Quashie and 2 x CBs to play at full back. Forget any illusion of O'Hara, Sidwell, KJ et al. We ain't nowhere near that level of player.
Make no mistake fellas, there's no mugs in the prem next season and if we go into it with the players (not the system, the system's fine) we have now, we will be relagated. We've been found out, we're slow and we don't score. And that's nothing to do with the hammering from those twats, we've been like that for weeks.

Just said the very same...our inadequacies are there for the whole nation to see today. If Tone fannies about all summer for a 4th and 5th keeper or dare i even jest, another fucking centre half....then he really does deserve the abuse he gets.

The squad are limited in both ability and depth, they can only do so much Tone....sort it out

I think the 2 biggest things highlighted today were 1) how wank our full backs are and 2) TP has possibly lost control on the attitude and needs to crack some skulls to get the best from the players he can't handle. Who sadly are 3 of the better footballers we have. And if he can't manage that type of player, serious questions will have to be asked in the future.

I think that is a very valid point you raise there

Can Pulis manage the better players needed for our sustained PL status?

It needs sorting out for next week never mind the summer, it isnt over yet even if we are safe.
After todays display or lack of next week i'd look at bringing Mama, Pugh and Wilko into the starting 11 something like this perhaps?

Begovic
Wilko Huth Shawcross Higgy
Etherington Delap Whitehead Pugh**
Sidibe Fuller

**Not sure whether id put Pugh in the middle with Delap on the right or how it is there with Ethers on the right but switching throughout with Pugh on the left.

Either way it doesnt matter what i think, i just hope he shuffles the team up a bit for Everton and lets certain players know just how dissapointed everyone envolved with our football club is.

Gooooarn Stoke.

also, maybe he will realize his own inadequacies when it comes to the totally pathetic game plan he put in against teams like Chelsea !!

I agree with that completely. Totally misjudged what needed to be done today. And let me say, I am a big fan of Bare Knuckle Pulis. But he got this wrong. Very wrong.
