  • Could Messi, Iniesta, Xavi and Villa have coped with a peak-Tony Pulis Stoke City team on a cold, wet Tuesday at the Bet365?
    In the 'Tactics' episode, Peter Crouch reveals the Tottenham goalkeeper who shed a tear at Stoke City's 'aerial bombardment' and teams that didn't fancy a battle against a Tony Pulis side (usually Arsenal).

    You say that but the closest thing to Stoke City in La Liga is Atletico Madrid. Especially a couple of years ago, dogged, rough, 10 men behind the ball, working as a unit, horrible to play against, hostile away Atmosphere in Madrid, Barcelona didn’t have many problems. Great teams, great football, along with great players find a way, wether it’s playing them at their own game or sitting behind the ball with ten men, they’ll always find a way to hurt you.

      Manu Leach a podcast is much more difficult to listen to since it’s live and on another platform, meaning you have to be there at a specific time when they go live. Watching it on UA-cam is infinitely easier (as with TV shows), so if the entire thing was available on UA-cam as a video, who would want to listen live just as an audio podcast? Nobody. But podcasts can generate more money from sponsors than UA-cam ads, so it’s more beneficial for them to do it that way.
      Uploading your entire content to a platform that’s infinitely better for the viewer will just result in every viewer going there, thus resulting in nobody listening live and thus no revenue. Basic economics of this.
      It’s entirely the same as asking “why don’t you just upload your entire TV show to UA-cam instead of short clips” - because much less people would watch live then since there’s no benefit to doing so

    Pretty sure Gomes did cry. He collided with his own player, Corluka and knocked him out cold. He was totally distressed. Kolo Toure was the worst at trying to defend the Delap throws. I think it was Rebrov who said he wanted to come off at Stoke after 15 minutes as couldn't handle it

    Long time Stoke fan here. Little historical footnote. Stoke only ever played Barcelona once. In May 1969 in a testing friendly, to prep Barca for the European Cup Winners cup final, which was held one week after the Stoke game. Stoke were on their way back from an end of season jolly in Las Palmas, so may have been somewhat "relaxed" and several of the first team squad injured, left behind in the UK. It was a well fought game. At one point Stoke were three nil up. Half time was 1-3. Stoke edged the game out with the final score being 2-3. Barca also lost the cup final by the same 2-3 scoreline. They were defeated by Sovan Bratislava of Czechoslovakia, who had also beaten the mighty Athletico Dunfermline en roûte to the final. This was under the Stoke managership of a very different Tony. Tony Waddington. Also I believe it was a Thursday night in a very warm Nou Camp. The Barca fans clapped Stoke off the pitch at the end of the game. Old school football. 😀🌞

    The problem with Premier League is the environment is not friendly to players. Many players with great career in the continent flopped when they arrive in the UK. The weather is bad, Christmas games are tough, no break for Champions League, 3 tournaments going on at once. Most importantly, the focus on physical football: more running, rougher defenders and lenient referee broke many stars. Not many could adapt to this foreign world of football, especially at an older age. Of course, that doesn't mean anything when it comes to the Champions League.

      Bilbao was actually decent compared to Stoke City and The butcher of Bilbao was legit trying to Injure Maradona. Messi has gotten kicked regularly in every game he has played in for a decade. Barcelona have played against teams that sit back with 10 men and play physical before. and so many of them had far better players as well. It's not a new way of playing against Barcelona. oh play 10 men and play physical and score from set prices. EASY. Messi and Suarez won't pass our defense of average defenders.

      He's not saying "oh look at us we were top quality we'd have done what United couldn't and beaten Barcelona at Wembley". He was saying that back in the Pulis days the type of 11 men behind the ball anti-football that they played would have been incredibly frustrating for a team like Barcelona who were used to teams trying to play them at their own game, and they might have gotten a point out of it. Top 6 teams regularly dropped points at Stoke, including City, dunno how Hughes' away result last year has any bearing on the conversation.

    But La Liga does have their own version of Stoke and I'm not talking about Atletico. Athletic Bilbao are the most "english" of teams. Aritz Aduriz is their physical striker, they love set pieces and high balls. They kick Messi and foul him and they still don't win. Pepe, Ramos, Alonso, Arbeloa have all tried to kick, stamp and elbow Messi, but he gets up and scores again and again. Messi has literally had bleeding lips and black eyes and still destroyed opponents.
    There was a period where Madrid and Jose Mourinho tried to be the rough thugs and they repeatedly finished the match with 10 men.
    let's face it, Stoke would try their hardest and make life hard for Barcelona, but they would probably have 30% possession, only 3 chances on goal and probably lose 3-1.

      Mate, it's the traditional English way of playing, defence before attack. Big Spanish teams will never face that type of team because the Spanish have huge egos and think they're a;; the next Ronaldo. The lower level English teams are gritty and make it hard to get beat. You can spout all you want about these players, but in reality they never had to face, Burnley then Stoke week in week out. You can say, 'but they beat English teams.' Well the English teams they played were the top 6 English teams who all try to play good football who were just a level below back then. Now, the English teams like Liverpool and City are on that top level but that's not the point. By facing the top 6 English teams they weren't getting a real taste of traditional English football. And yes I don't think Messi could deal with it if he got pushed about.

      The egos of the English football fan are hilarious. Your country sucks when it has to play internationally. Why is that, if all your teams are secretly tougher than the international giants? They should be winning the Europa league every year!
