I'm sensing a pattern every time Young gets the ball, he cuts back to do an inswinger and the defender blocks it...he's far too predictable at the moment.

Christ, Smalling is almost as bad as O'Shea going forward, was that a shot?!?

The season must have started because Shamikebab is progressively becoming more negative :D;)

Right on time!

Fergie leaves it later and later to make changes, this is the point we should be bringing Berbatov on for Welbeck, where is Plan B?

It's a poor tactic and aside from the physicality it's easy to counter. I imagine when more teams adjust to the physical style Stoke have they'll struggle more.

4 years and counting... still awaiting these teams to counter it..

And i agree Pulis has totaly ignored to improve the CM role, Our best CM pairing is Delap , Whelan exactly the same as the CM we had in the championship.

Hopefully we can sign palacios and play better football if he can hold the ball up and slow the pace down a bit

The issue is most other sides around you concentrate on trying to play better football, not get bigger players ;)

Stoke are an awful side to watch, no offence. Pulis is the problem, he's failed to build upon a good solid defence, he reminds me of that Boothroyd? He was a horrible manager.
