>5% possession
>1 (1) shots
>wins City 0-1
>Pep retires from footballing management next day
>>67512590
is that pic real
>>67512696
Yes.
>>67512696
yes
Why is /sp/ so obsessed with Pulis?
>finish with 40-50 points in 15th place
>negative goal difference
>shittiest football in the league
>upset one top 5 team
>OMG PULISD LMAO
>>67512945
Because /sp/ identifies with mediocrity.
>>67512945
This. Pulis is the most mundane manager in the league. Unfortunately he always beats the drop. West Brom are probably my least favourite team to watch right now.
>>67512977
this 2bh
>>67512945
Because his team performs like shit except for the few times when the opposing team actually needs them to be shit. I don't think people particularly rate him as a manager.
>>67512478
I can't wait to see West Brom - City next season. Will be great.
>>67512945
We only care about him when he's ruining dreams even though his team have nothing to play for.
>>67512945
he's a professional jimmy rustler

Me again, I actually did a quick research on Stoke in the Prem
Under Pulis
>08/09 - 12th, 45 points
>09/10 - 11th, 47 points
>10/11 - 13th, 46 points
>11/12 - 14th, 45 points
>12/13 - 13th, 42 points
Under Hughes
>13/14 - 9th, 50 points
>14/15 - 9th, 54 points
>15/16 - 10th, 48 points (1 game to go)
Net spend under Pulis - 85m (17m per season)
Net spend under Hughes - 25m (8m per season)
Long ball merchants BTFO

I liked him when he managed Palace. Now he's just another cunt

>West Brom are probably my least favourite team to watch right now
t. West Brom fan
>>67512945
Because he's what everyone wants to see in the premier league, something different. Even if different is boring and awful. How many johnny foreigner teams play park the bus football, lump it up to a big lad and hope to score from set pieces predominantly? This is where the guardiola pulis meme comes from, he is used to slapping small teams around because a lot of spanish lesser teams try and play passing football, whereas managers like big sam and pulis accept they won't get the ball often and just park the bus and play hoofball, something most fans are hoping guardiola won't be able to cope with
>>67513164
where were the baggies finishing before he arrived?

>because a lot of spanish lesser teams try and play passing football
You know that's a meme, right?

Where were Stoke finishing before Pulis?
>>67513712
In the Championship. If I had a club in the Championship and needed a coach he'd be the first person I'd call.
But my point was that his Premier League ceiling is a bottom half finish with ~45 points (exact same results at Crystal Palace and West Brom) and that a team can be instantly improved by hiring a manager whose idea of offensive football doesn't end with hoofs, crosses and corners.
>>67512376
Poop obviously, Klopp and Poch already pulis'd
