For the likes of Chelski, Citeh and the Scousers, as we don't stand a snowball's, we may as well mix it up a bit and do something different. But that isn't how Pulis plays, he is looking for the team to get used to operating a single system and to minimise damage rather than have a morale sapping cricket score against us.

And thats why you 2 are Fans and Pulis is the Manager.
PS Pulis has never been relegated.

as much as I dont like to watch it, what has been our most successful format of getting points this season?

1) hanging on, clinging to the game and getting by , by the skin of our teeth, nicking the odd goal and win here and there

or

2) All out attack?

I'll give you a clue. It's not 2).

I think maybe we need to become a bit more tactical going forwards, if we want to win more games, but thats more a case for maybe swapping KG out for say Bannan or O'Keefe when theres 20m to go, and dropping Jedinek into a pure defensive midfielder role, with Bannan playing a more attacking play maker role, or O'Keefe as a more central midfielder.

I think Pulis' is right setting out to contain first fifty or so minutes, to wear the otherside down more, and hit them on the counter.

I think maybe he's looking to nick a couple of games between now and the end of the season, and draw the rest.

i just think we need some ball players in midfield - swap KG for O'K is a start. Maybe Bolaise for Bannan

This was once a quality forum....

Ah the mythical "We don't have the players to play any other way" line. They are professional footballers of varying levels of ability who can adjust, given time, to whatever system is given to them. Right now they are adjusting to the way TP wants them to play and they are still struggling a little with the ball as they are preoccupied with their positioning.
If Martinez had got our job they would of been adjusting to his style while Everton took on TP's and both groups would of become comfortable in the systems eventually. It just takes time to adjust to new instructions and those that just can't or won't will be moved on. Although I hate the style of play, it will not stay totally defensive once the way we play becomes second nature to them. I mean, Stoke were crap to watch, but they did attack people within TP's system and so eventually will we.
