What a result for City. Pulis's face was a picture. I'm stoked. Pulis was up to his old tricks as usual Huth with the elbow in the face out of sight of the Ref, on the one player they thought would get himself sent off B'telli. Wrong again Pulis you got more back than you expected. Mancini's tactics were perfect(though he could have done without a keeper for all the shots that came in) and thats how most teams should get at them. Stoke stifle and bore the other team to death with ten men behind the ball. Then the quick long punt upfield in a hit and hope attack, which is all they've done all season. A good result for the best team. By the way. How to negate Delaps time wasting chucks into the box? Stand four men on the goal line and the keeper around the penalty spot. That way the ref will see the keeper impeded. As it stands, there tactic is to block the refs view as they all bundle into the keeper leaving one to go for the ball(usually Huth). City blocked both him and Jones out and didnt allow them a free header.Simple Arsene.Now get busy.
