[Lets-talk-about-Teix]

Have to admit I found that pretty painful viewing yesterday. It’s not as if we were at one of the top 4. Everton, have a good squad but are one of the worst defences in the league. For us not to manage a shot on target is pretty poor.

Having heard Pulis’s interview I’m glad he made a point of the ball retention. He’s aware of it and it needs addressing.

The main issue for me is progression. I can live with the style of football if we build on it for the future. At Stoke, there was no progression and they were playing the same way four years later (and finishing below us). Pulis won’t last that long here, with the fact that some are uncomfortable with it after a couple of games.

Then again at Palace, the style was direct and purposeful. I get the feeling Pulis is trying to emulate that but obviously lacks the quick wingers to do so. I’ll give him the time to do that and I hope he gets enough funds to. I just hope we don’t get too many days like yesterday.
