Tony Pulis

If I were Stokes manager watching today's game I would have taken pleasure in how City seemed to crumble and panic when put under pressure evident in the second half. Stoke can play the intimidation game very well and City seem to struggle when they have to work hard and do the dirty stuff.

I think City missed Barry today more than some of his critics would like to admit.

he knows we can play them off the park at wembley
big pitch and a very big field to pass and move not like stoke small pitch and ground much like everton today

also i still think somebody is going to get a right beating from us

Is Barry injured?

Or just rested for Tuesday / Saturday?

Wembley is no bigger than some premier league pitches including ours.

Spot on if Tevez is fit and we play like we did first 65 minutes we'll piss it.

So we will have a whole 2.5 yards each side and at each end at Wembley than at Stoke, "massive", I bet Pullis is crapping himself at all that extra space.

Some folk don't half clutch at daft straws.

 

[lunebleu]

Now i know Pullis looks like he'd be comfortable having an oatcake and a bottle of cider in a hanley car park with the mutants that inhabit the Potteries,but he's no mug. He knows his team's limitations and that he can't compete,in footballing skills, with us. But he also knows that we are often shite at defending from high balls pumped in the area ---so that is what we are going to get in abundance from the kick off.
