Maybe the combination would be better if they're not all being played as holding midfielders? Perhaps either Livermore or Krychowiak might look better if allowed to get forward more? We haven't been able to tell up until now, because Pulis did the same thing rain or shine, despite the fact that it clearly wasn't working. They might thrive through being unshackled a bit.

Hopefully we'll see some variety in line-ups and tactics going forward that will allow us to judge just how good or bad these players really are.
I was impressed with Livermore for England against Germany yet for us he has been naff. a change in tactics might see us get that player who got forward a damn sight more than he does for us.

People seem to have lost sight of the fact that the whole idea of football is to provide entertainment. If it doesn't exist for that purpose, what's the point of it? It seems to be more about lining the pockets of players, agents and coaching staff these days not to mention, in our case, former owners!

Not caring about entertainment is what makes the likes of Pulis thrive of course, when they should actually be unsuccessful because what they produce isn't enjoyable to watch.

Over time most people will be sick of losing no matter how much possession or goals the team gets.

Thought this was improbable as I presumed Pulis was nailed on for the Welsh job but it now looks like Craig Bellamy may unbelievably somehow get that gig so I also fear that this could well happen should Swansea dispose of Clement.

I pity any supporters of the Welsh national side with the choice of next manager seemingly being between that prize idiot Bellamy and Pulis. It's almost as uninspiring and demoralising as our list of candidates.
Sadly we can't attract the endless list of high quality managers that apply for and land the England job  :-X

Does having more possession and scoring more goals make teams more likely to lose then?

Yes, before football began in 1992.

That guy is the biggest idiot on any radio show. He's the reason I stopped listening to Talksport.

The Merryside Derby will be amazing with Liverpool having 90% possession  :D

Tony Pulis would be to Everton as Alan Irvine was to us the fans would turn on him before a ball was kicked.

Have to agree. I met up with some Everton fans I know after the game at Goodison last season, and one of them spent most of the time in the pub and pretty much all the train journey back to Hull lambasting Pulis' tactics during the game and his anti football approach...you'd have thought we'd won 3-0 the moaning he was doing!

I doubt Everton would even think twice about Pulis.

I know an Everton fan who said he just couldn’t stomach Pulis there. Swansea would seem Pulis most likely next stop on the list of desperate to stay up clubs. Poor them, not so long ago they were lauded for their quality of football. I suppose they’ll still have their place in the premier league to console them when they’re bored stiff next season onwards ......

Fair play to Pulis, he certainly is good at a short term bounce but his methods were horribly thin pretty quickly .

The whole article is summed up by Foster's retelling of what SGM had to say before the Spurs game.

"I want you to play a little bit more football, basically just get 20 yards further forward"

Nothing like a bit of doom and gloon
