Pulis: Potters are learning

Published Nov. 28, 2011 1:17 p.m. ET

In the seven Premier League weekends after a European tie the Potters have won just once and lost four times. Pulis' side have had to cover thousands of miles going to Ukraine, Israel and Turkey in their group matches but this Thursday they are at home needing a draw to ensure they qualify for the next stage. But despite making changes for Europe the knock-on effect has been felt domestically and Pulis wants that to alter. "You have to understand their workload and we have played 10 more midweek games than most teams in the Premier League," he said. "You have to deal with it and work with it. "At the moment we have not dealt with it very well in respect of the third game (in a week) and we have to make sure if we can get it right we will."
