I believe that Pulis has two choices, total commitment and bullying or play the lads with some flair and ability on the ball.
Sorenson, Griffin, Shawcross, AB Faye, Higgy, Soares,Whelan,Olifinjana,Delap, Kitson, Sidibe
or
Sorenson, Griffin, Shawcross, AB Faye, Higgy, AMDY FAYE,DIAO,Olifinjana,Delap, CRESSWELL, Sidibe.
I think his comments in the press say he will go for option 2 but i would like to see option one in our next 3 home games with fuller coming in for the other 2, we need to be positive. Will get behind the lads either way though.

Sorensen, Griff, Higg, Faye, Shawcross, Soares, Diao, Olofinjana, Delap, Mama, Kitson.

Surely we don't need two defensive midfielders at home to Brazil? SURELY.

Will get behind the lads either way though. Firstly no matter how you play if you don't have total commitment you'll lose nine times out of ten. Chelsea Liverpool and ManUre are three of the most committed teams I've seen. Arsenal have the players (possibly the best of all) but lack commitment occasionally hence Fulham Hull and Stoke can beat them. Second bullying!? I've seen 99% of our games since TP came back and have yet to see us bully anyone once. We play direct occasionally but not always and we are always well organised and committed. Only sour opposition managers introduce words like bullying after we.ve beaten them. West Brom play tippy tappy football which some people claim to be 'the right way' but lets not get mixed up there is no 'right way' to play and if you lose more than most then its clearly NOT the right way! Personally I'd go for your bottom team but would include Soares OR Tonge and also Kitson would start. |

Why do some people seem to think Cresswell's going to start? How many league games has he started this season, two?

Cresswell should be sold in january to take away Pulis's temptation to play him

so ud go with the top one, only 3 changes and u sed bottom but sed 2 changes in my top team so it shud be top team with a defensive mid instead of whelan, i think whelan cud play the defensive role but give us good distribution and ability from dead ball situations. food for thought? i dont actually think diao or faye are particularly good defensively, id prefer to see whelan or even tonge

Ooohhh touchy about it aren't we?
I really can't be arsed with all this "we play better stuff than you" bullshit.
What exactly is entertainment anyway? Believe you me mate there's been more entertained Stoke fans than Hull fans this year as we've won four times at home and we all went away very, very happy. Your wins are mostly on the road which is great but there's thousands who aren't getting to see it.
You've done well, better than anybody expected and so have we.
We accept we have our long throw and embrace it, why can't you admit you play it long a lot? It works for you so be happy.

last year's game was typical of how a lot of games this season has gone - they had lots of possesion, we kept it tight at the back and took our chances. I don't really think tomorrow will be a lot different really, so I'd definately stick with two defensive midfielders - whelan is a defensive mid really - but i'd stick with diao and george in the middle. However it was a sublime fuller performance last season that won it, and i think without him we need soares to stretch them and provide some service for kits.
I doubt they'll sit on us quite as much as last season, but i doubt we'll score three either. I definately fancy a long throw goal though.

Hull have used the long ball excellently, to the extent that i wish that we had either cousin or king in our side, they'd work perfectly. Think Fuller and king don't like each other though.

Exactly banksy, I don't understand why they just don't admit it though.
There's no shame in it, it's been working fantastically well so good luck them.

i will give our tone the benefit of the doubt reguarding his approach this year, but i hope that as we grow into this league, in future seasons, he does try and play a little more expandsive.
but at the moment i do understand his stance.

I'm just saying, although we do it, we still play a very different style to Stoke. We tend to have more possession in games than Stoke which means we play a lot of football too. As regards where we get our points, I really don't care. I haven't missed a match so I'm happy. We have a go in every game which does leave us open. It means we will take some beatings, but we never play damage limitations. I watched your full game at Man Yoo which was exactly that. You seem to have little or no ambition away from the Britannia. Shoot me down in flames if I'm wrong |

A supporter seeing his team winning is always going to be entertained (especially now we both find ourselves at this level!)
You may play more sideways passes than us but to be honest that doesn't float my boat (it's each to his own) but the fact is many of your fans have tried to label us as long ball and you as being attractive, which technically isn't true and that's my point.
At the end of the day you only get out of your seat after one of your centre backs have lumped it up to King and something happens, entertainment no matter what anybody says, is when the balls in the oppositions final third.
We are both direct but in different ways, we've both had some great days and are surprising people and that's got to be good.

I don't think however that just Hull fans label you long ball and unattractive, I think its the whole football world |

Like I've said it doesn't really matter, neither of us have the resources to fill our team with gifted individuals so we play to our strengths, namely getting stuck in and using our most talented player to do the rest. We have Fuller you have Giovanni, it is working so far. Lets hope it sees us through for at least another season in this division.  |

Playing you away is definitely not their type of game. Good luck chaps, it would be nice to see all 3 teams staying up |
