My reading of this is that behind his 'respect' agenda Koeman basically has us down as a job lot of gargantuan long ball merchants at their best in a howling gale >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Koeman told the Southern Daily Echo: "Both games we won but in both it was difficult because we know the qualities of them, we know the manager was always with the high spirit, the high intention in the game, physical players, direct game and maybe lucky to play this weekend there with the temperatures and weather. "But I know it's always windy and that makes it still more difficult. "The weather will be good this weekend and circumstances good." Koeman has told his players they need to win their remaining six games if they are to gatecrash the Champions League qualification spots but is expecting a stern examination of his side's credentials in the Potteries. He added: "If you watch this season they (Stoke) brought in some good technical players and they have good football players. "It's a little bit both I think if you are talking about them and you mention only direct play it's not respectful. "Sometimes they like to play good football but they have always the option to play the long ball. "If Crouch is playing it gives them the option in direct play. "We know it is maybe the strongest team in the league in the physical qualities of the players. They like to press and if you're not on your level you get a difficult afternoon."

I think he makes a valid point regarding the elements.

The horrible fat fucker was saying exactly the same at the start of the season before he had even seen us play,so it seems he has brought into the stereotype of what kind of team we are.
Every time I see his fat face I hear the words "he's gonna dink one" and even though England only have themselves to blame for not qualifying for USA '94,the bloke will always be partly responsible and therefore a massive cunt in my book.

Another bellend of a manager. Too busy reading the stereotype press rather than actually seeing the progress we've made in 2 season. Hope we do the cunts tomorrow.

Hate to burst everyone's bubble but what he is saying is absolutely right. Also it's our greatest strength, and a fucking positive! "Sometimes they like to play good football but they have always the option to play the long ball." That is a compliment in my book, we're versatile and we have a plan B. Honestly you go through his comments and tell me where he is wrong, they're completely accurate. 'Agenda' or not he is spot-on with everything he says and personally I take the traits he says we have as a compliment and I'm proud we are physical team. We were a negative team under Pulis but we have developed into a team which can carry the positives of that old style and merge them with new, more exciting attacking football! Long live physicality and personally I hope we bully them, and Hughsey has Koeman in a headlock by the 90th minute

Says the manager of the side who were 8th in the long ball table in February about the side who were 15th.

Stoke being a physical squad is not a stereotype. It's a fact. And personally, I embrace it. 'Fuck you' football, as I like to call it. I love it, and I love that people know it. No team should ever look forward to playing us.

Arsehole. The only time we played any kind of long ball this season was against Everton, because that was the game that they were playing. And yet people still revere Martinez as a manager who likes 'good football', and Stoke as a team with long ball in their DNA.

Why does everyone get pissed off with stuff like this? If he sets his team up thinking we're still a long-ball side then he'll have the rug pulled right from under his fat clogs.
The longer this belief stays instilled in opposition managers the better for me.

If the winds are strong..
Our oarsmen row well...
the runes roll well...
the traffic lights are on green....
what an utter load of PR Political paper reporting bollocks
I don't even blame him for this..its their local fame seeking journo
it's a game of football against a difficult side, and whatever the weather, they'll both cope
They pissed the away game but the ref gave the the cup match.... let's see how this goes...

No team should ever look forward to playing us. Are we a physical side though? Well,anymore physical than the majority of teams in this league? I'd say not.
