054123 Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Joe Allen has been lively, but Stoke are poor. If we lose this people will say6 points was a good return from the last 3 games and I wouldn’t disagree. But taking each match in its own merits it would be disappointing to lose to a team this poor.

old_eastender Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 fantastic save from Butland denies Elliason Pack sticks a header over the bar from 6 yards out, that's two great chances he has wasted. Quote Link to comment
Dan Robin Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Butland is blocking everything.... Quote Link to comment
Up The City! Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Had it not been for Butland we could have scored 5 or 6. He has been the difference. Quote Link to comment

Let me spin that question on its head and if the manager could pick the players he bought and get it right from the start then we could be in the play offs or does he still not know his best starting 11 Quote Link to comment

No chance. Made two great saves but had nothing to do otherwise. We can’t expect to win games if we only decide to start trying after 65 mins. Quote Link to comment

PS At least one of us is going to be happy tonight. It's really difficult to explain 'briefly'. I could probably write a book about the man and his 'football style'. Basically though the matches (in general) were deadly dull to an extreme. He was always happy with a 0-0 and if we sneaked a goal, so be it. There are plenty of managers who adopt a safety first policy, but again, Pulis just took it to an extreme. We once went on a run of 21 consecutive league games where the result was either 0-0, 0-1 or 1-0. It was excrutiating. There's loads more I could say with examples to back up the craziness behind the negativity, but I honestly don't want to bore people or end up repeating what I've said previously. Let's just say I'd rather be in the Championship with just about any other manager than be existing in the Premier League with him back in charge. Hope that give a bit of an insight. Sorry it's not a lot. Quote Link to comment
old_eastender Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Really good save Max, to keep it at 0-1, but we are just about out of time now. Quote Link to comment

cityexile Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 On the second half unlucky not to get something from that, but equally can say over the previous two games lucky to get six, so one of those. An emerging trend is how poor we are first half of our games, and how it is the subs that shake it up. Our goal scoring has got very binary, although Fammy maybe unlucky overall.

Just seen some of the action. I think you're right. That save near the end was unbelievable - world class possibly. Quote Link to comment
