I think it is now time to be giving Tom Ince a run of games. I would also like Bauer to at least have the opportunity of another chance. It would be like two new signings !

If you want a return to that, you need a labotomy

Disappointing that we can't ever seem to rise about the opposition in a game against Pulis. Even by the standards of our recent meetings with Pulis teams, that was eye-wateringly bad on every level "Even by the standards of our recent meetings with Pulis teams, that was eye-wateringly bad on every level"
It was purgatory from start to finish, you just had to watch dumfounded at the incredible banality of what was on offer as the game ebbed away predictably from the first minute to the last, drifting on a sea of tears, on run repeat endlessly. Mind numbingly bad.

Just bring Powell off he’s a liability noting going forwards and no use in steel in midfield we’ve tried to build round him now it’s time fri trying without him but Yes it's definitely it’s time fri trying without him but It’s not Powell it’s the set up. No attacking support from the full backs, Mikel and Clucas woefully slow at moving the ball forward means Powell and Campbell are outnumbered all the time

Allen doesn't do anything for our creativity though so he won't make any difference to whats happening and thats if he comes back the same player. I still think it needs to be Clucas or Mikel alongside Cousins ane let them get forward with Cousins sitting deep as the cover, having them both sit is killing us creatively in games like this. I didn’t say Allen would make us more creative. He’d give us more energy and momentum though. Bringing in Cousins isn’t really a positive move either. No it isn't on the face of it but if it lets Clucas play the game as we know he can it would improve us massively. I know you didn't say he would sorry I should have been clearer, I don't think someone running around out of position after shadows will improve us and what we really need imo is some creativity.

Fuck sakes Campbell. Shit today. Shit free kick just like the shit free kick from McLean . Get the cunt on target at the very least. Waste of fucking time. Yeah that Campbell huh!?! - he’s such a waste of time! 🤦🏻♂️ Today yes. If you think any opinion of a player’s performance on one game reflects them overall then you are a fool.

I've got 10 quid on each available binary result. H Not sure if you’re telling the truth H but if you are, I’ve looked on Skybet and 0-0 1-0 0-1 1-1 are all roughly 6/1. £10 on each £40 bet Returns £70. In fact it’s tempting £1k on each Returns £7k🤣 Well that was the easiest £3k profit I’ve ever made🤣🤣

Collins for me as playing out of normal position But Fox, Mikel and Clucas all solid as well Fair point, but he did let 2-3 dangerous crosses in. Not sure why Pulis brought their LW off. Fox didn't give anyone down that side a sniff, and did well in possession too. Both were very good - fair to say

Whichever way you look at it, one manager will be happier than the other and the happier managers surname doesn't begin with 'O'

You can't lay it all on Pulis though can you. Rough house, shit house tactics no doubt but you have to deal with them and ultimately we didn't. We still chronically lack genuine leadership on the pitch evidenced by the fact that a 19 year old is by far and away our biggest character.

The entire Sheffield press pack seem to be unanimous! Athough it was disappointing just how few answers we had (er..none!) and how easily we were dragged into the wastelands of Pulis survivalball

Not sure quite what to make of that pile of shite tbh.
Did we learn anything new? Collins showed some very impressive forward play compared to any other full back we've played in ages I guess, but he did let their LW get past the outside of him too easily at least once.
It feels like this is just where we are right now, just not good enough to regularly break down sides that set up for Pulisball.

It’s quite amazing how pulis gets teams to play in his style so fast.

It was the worst game of football I've watched, admittedly via the telebox, probably ever. Utterly fucking dreadful. Pulis at his most cynical and Stoke unable to find the wit or skill to break it down. Utterly fucking awful.

We played with nine men yesterday. Vokes and Powell were utter rubbish and need to be fucked off once and for all in January,... Ince too.

Pulisball in a nutshell
Overarching theme: Play not to lose.
Key components: A. Top goalkeeper B. Ard workers with ‘Character’ C. 10 behind the ball D. A player to do long throws E. Long ball from back as priority
Game plan: 1. Kill the first half completely with a clean sheet. 2. Up the tempo for 15 mins from the 50th minute. Nick a set piece goal. 3. Do cynical fouls in the middle of the pitch in the opponent’s half to minimise bookings and kill game. 4. Gradually shut up shop for the final 30 minutes.
I’ve gratitude for you Tone but my god I don’t miss your football.
