In the previous five games he did not do this, so clearly somethings were different. 1) Chelsea wingers were obviously told to stand off full backs or were too lazy to track so they had time on the ball. They got forward when they could, as they have done every week. 2) Jedi gave the ball away a lot in the first half, as much if not more than normal. 3) 95% of our counter attacking was a result of Chelsea throwing people forward and playing a high line once 1-0 down. The tactics were identical today, the difference is they worked. Edited by IMpalace (30 Mar 2014 10.55am) That's why it's called a counter attack, if they're all back we really can't counter.

I thought his tactics were very similar to most games, the only difference was that they worked yesterday. Chelsea certainly played into our hands though, perhaps they assumed that we would do a West Ham and park the bus and didn't have a plan B when we didn't. They should have known as we played quite well when we lost to them at the Bridge. It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

So if he gets it right, he gets praise, if he gets it wrong he doesn't. Seems fair to me. You'll disagree but your completely wrong. He's gone with the same tactics he always has which is to make defending and being solid the priority and hitting them on the counter attack. When holloway or anyone else for the matter could of got this palace team to get 3 points against the league leaders then let me know. He is a tactical Genious end of and he proved that today. Really. Both full backs got forward today as did both wingers. Jedi gave the ball away far less today, because he actually had some forward passes he could make and the players are also getting more familiar with the set up which frees the mind to do what comes naturally, rather than always thinking about positions. We counter attacked with a real speed and purpose and actually tried to pass it around at times rather than just hoof it. TP also did a Ollie and kept telling them to push up and encouraged them to run with it and take the game to them. In the previous five games he did not do this, so clearly somethings were different. 1) Chelsea wingers were obviously told to stand off full backs or were too lazy to track so they had time on the ball. They got forward when they could, as they have done every week. 2) Jedi gave the ball away a lot in the first half, as much if not more than normal. 3) 95% of our counter attacking was a result of Chelsea throwing people forward and playing a high line once 1-0 down. The tactics were identical today, the difference is they worked. Edited by IMpalace (30 Mar 2014 10.55am) That's why it's called a counter attack, if they're all back we really can't counter. The difference yesterday was we did it with pace, numbers and a purpose. The fullbacks have hardly got over halfway in recent matches and Jedi was far less wasteful and nothing is gonna change my mind on that. The team played with a freedom that has been lacking for weeks. The amount of possession was the same but the way we used it was far better. Your inference is that TP instructs Jedi to make sh!t passes? Not at all, Jedi has never been the best passer, but was going through a bad spell which made his distribution even worse. Jedi seemed far more relaxed and positive yesterday, because in my opinion he was far more comfortable with what he was asked to do and with more options in and around him it made his game more instinctive and less robotic. Always having to follow strict instructions gets very tiring mentally and every mistake grinds you down. Then again maybe he's just come out of his current slump and Pulis is entitled to no praise at all for the upturn. That's probably nearer the mark. That's unlikely to come from you as you've been in a sulk since he was appointed.

Just wondering where all the fans have gone from last week and the week before?

Genius.

I'm still here.

Gloating is not helpful (not saying you are any more than I) but I hope this does hit home to some who have constantly moaned about Pulis tactics that he can only make best use of the tools he has and to get results in this league with the players we have it has to be a solid midfield and impenetrable defence. We battered them in the second half and if not for some better quality finishing we'd have won that 3 0 or more. I hope this result unites everyone for the run in, that the moaners shut up and the 'I told you so's' button it too!
