Quote Skinnii at 02 Feb 2014 5.40pm This has been a tactical nightmare by Pulis. Why play a 5 man midfield with a centre forward as one of the 5?. Better to have left Jerome out and played Bannan from the start. And I think swapping Puncheon and Bolaisie has exposed Ward because Bolaisie doesn't cover as well as Puncheon. To be fair, it's our standard formation. When going forward Chamakh is second striker. When defending is part of midfield. No complaints from me. Only issue is Jerome starting ahead of Gayle. I presume this is done because of Jerome's strength and ability to hold ball up. Problem is he doesnt score. Ever.

Compare Norwich v Man city to Palace v Man City for evidence of that. Better to go 0-0 and then try and strike on break or set piece against a team like Arsenal.
