Pulis doubts Stoke fans would like Swansea style

Stoke City boss Tony Pulis praised beaten opponents Swansea City, though is unsure if every fan appreciates their style of play.

The Potters won 2-0.

Pulis said: "The way Swansea play is a credit to (manager) Brendan (Rodgers) and the coaching side. They're a very hard side to play against because they keep the ball everywhere.

"They're patient, they go backwards, sideways - I'm not so sure our crowd would like the way they play, our lot like it up and at 'em.

"So we had to make sure we stayed very compact and that people worked their socks off, and I thought the effort and commitment of the players was absolutely first class."
