They did exactly that with 11. Absolutely shocking.
Quote of the day from Pulis:
"We played more open than we normally do at home,” he told Sky Sports. "In a cup-tie you want to catch them and have a go at them. You have got to give City a lot of credit. Their attitude and approach was first class. By playing as open as we did, against the best teams, it always gives them an opportunity to attack and create chances and I thought they did that well."
Did anyone watch this game that Pulis describes, because I sure as hell didn't.

Ducado said:Missed chances excepted I thought it was a very good performance, the pitch looked terrible and their tactics were thuggish as usual, and another ground ticked off the list, home draw would be good for the next round

Funny old game of opinions ain't it! Havin been sat in the boothen end with the Missus the stokies were pretty vociferously adamant that us and the ref were doing the same. Football i guess. Not that I agreed. However Barry's late clutch to the throat and subsequent plop to the floor in an attempt to break up play, which was right in front of me, was a bit embarrassing, especially as I had defended him earlier in the first half when he was being given grief by them on the same basis, by saying he's not that sort of player!
Great atmosphere though looked mega when you all went mental across the length of the whole stand. Well done blues!
