It was a notable part of our tactics yesterday as well

and also against Palace after we caught on the first goal. It is pretty effective at stopping teams creating chances on the counter. The problem for us is that we can't defend set pieces very well, Stoke's only two real chances came from set pieces. Yesterday Tettey, Bassong and Martin all got booked for denying Stoke a fast break for goal. It is pretty cynical stuff but with the issues and defensive qualities we have/lack also understandable.
