against a superior team Again little creativity but A plus for effort especially Jones Palacios and Jerome Just hope that we are not drained again for Sunday SiS
Well I've just come back from the game and to be honest I thought we were disgraceful yet again. Poor Pulis tactics once more when we should have gone all out for the win to seal the 3 points and top the group. I don't think we will win in Turkey which will mean we will be runners up now and probably face a real tough side next round. I can't understand why Pulis did not change things earlier we had nothing to loose in this game when we were 0-1 down. Too deep again and 2 shots on target all game at home is simply not good enough!
Waddo Fully agree with everything you said... woeful especially first half. Palacios looks really good and the SOONER he starts every game the better. Felt really sorry for Jones and Jerome. TOTALLY nothing to feed off until FINALLY Pennant decided to put in his first decent cross and bingo|||||||||||||! Jones did what he does best. Tony Pulis needs to "re think" and take a good look at his negativity.. he set out for a pt and we just about made it. I've said this before.. PLAY OUR BEST TEAM Mr Pulis otherwise we'll get hammered once the big boys come out to play re after Xmas.. We did enough but only enough to snatch a draw. Waddo, I'm thankful for that much and we'll see what happens on Sunday?
This is why fuller is such a needed player at stoke, even though he didnt look the fuller we know the whole stadium errupted when he came on and we burst into life. As for before he came on............................we were ****! The fans got the draw last night by chanting fullers name and eventually Pulis put him on. Poor tactics though yet again!.
While I really do like Fuller, and was singing his name as loudly as anyone, I do think he's at his most effective when tearing a tired defence to pieces. I'd start with Walters, let him nacker the centre halves for 60-70 minutes, then bring Riccy on and let the sparks fly.
This is how important I though it was that Fuller came on.................. if he hadnt we would not have scored and so would have lost the game and its as simple as that. The stadium come to life when he came on and the other players responded. To be honest I dont blame the crowd for being quiet after watching the first 65 mins or so. The players sometimes have to give us something to shout about and last night for the first 70 mins we were ****e!!.
Quite right Ric ... I sit bang middle of the Boothen End, when Fuller came on, you could FEEL the crowd's confidence lifting! We made it, JUST
Ric are you actually THE RIC FULLER or have you had his kids, just seems like you have an overtly weird obsession with him?
now now Huthy dont throw your toys out of the pram because I said a few likkle words against you. I like him simply because he is a FOOTBALLER and not a hoofballer, and yes without him on Thursday we would not have got the point. To be honest, with the comments you write you obviously have issues so probably best not to comment on each others comments (as we obviously will not get on) anymore because frankly I cant be arsed with you anymore.
Now, now lads... we're all SUPPORTING the SAME team are we not..? FULLER Is after all part of the squad
I agree, im not saying hes the best player by no means (and he was nowhere near his best on Thursday), but he adds something different and with Pulis managing we need every bit of "different" we can get.
