“At the time I think we were the only team that could’ve beaten Barcelona! If Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta came to the Britannia at that time I reckon we could’ve turned them over,” Crouch added.Stoke’s rough-and-tumble style wasn’t to everyone’s taste but it worked for this group of players and Pulis. And Crouch still looks back on the atmosphere at the club with great fondness.
“You just knew you were going into battle every day and you were going to get a result because of the work rate, the attitude, the endeavour, the dedication. It was a great dressing room.”But there was no danger that Pulis was going to let the players get above their station.“Tony’s best line of all time – he felt we were getting ahead of ourselves – he said, ‘Don’t get ahead of yourselves lads, you’re bang average players in a fantastic system,'” Crouch added.
