sdb Posted 18 October 2014 Share Posted 18 October 2014 Yep. Love the bloke but if you're going to the most out of form side in the league, with fans baying for their managers blood... don't play a defensive 4-5-1, don't play long ball to an isolated striker up against 2 beasts, and don't leave your best attacking players on the bench. Opportunity wasted and at the moment we're giving teams way too much respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisNedry Posted 18 October 2014 Share Posted 18 October 2014 Yes. A 5 year old could have predicted Ulloa being isolated and ineffective with that formation. Awfully negative approach against a side on the ropes. Schlupp and Albrighton in the first XI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opportunity wasted and at the moment we're giving teams way too much respect. wouldnt be so bad if it was top teams but its shit,we didnt show man united any respect,cambiasso doesnt look to be a good signing so far,really dont think we needed him.the wheels have come off ulloa,so we are a striker short,4 4 ****in 2 and lets just have a go,the stats dont read so good from todays game.

BoyJones Posted 18 October 2014 Share Posted 18 October 2014 I couldn't make it, but if you drop Vardy and Nugent, obviously we have got no pace, no real hope of scoring. Schlupp has some skill but no brain. Game thrown away. Most fans who watch City would have known we were going to get nothing when the team was announced. Why won't NP play our best team? Really disappointed, feel sorry for the fans who made the trip to watch that non event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuchsntf Posted 18 October 2014 Share Posted 18 October 2014 Hammond is the man.We need that extra man in midfield to hold and fight for it. >back 4, with Cambiasso, Hammond, James, Drinkwater, Ulloa Vardy, for away games. Mahrez for Hammond at home. ULLOA VARDY play central and off each other. Or Nigel has to come up with another tactic to get the best out of the pace of the team. Lets be honest elsewhere....4 avg teams 3 pts Stoke 1pt Burnley,0pts Palace and Newcastle. Burnley if we had stopped that goal, we would still be top 10 and crowing. We havent yet played fully 1 good game, we have gave away 5-6 silly sloppy goals. We havent been decent in one set play...We havent a stable set team. 1 stable performer so far Wes Morgan. Ulloa depends on service, often left alone Vardy needs more support. Midfield, not once held its own.... 4-5 players not yet fully match fit. We havent yet played 10 PL games. Fans expectation, mainly due to Manu, maybe too high. If we had closed the Burnley game out and drew today, we would have 12 pts.Putting us 5th or 6th Instead we are 13th. We the fans, also the players , and Pearson for different reasons, now should realise how close in reality, Small mistakes, good/bad game performances, finding those 2-4 partnerships in the team, and a twist of luck makes the difference, between being drawn into the relegation battle, or earning the right to be called a solid PL team. We should now look to C.Palace and Newcastle > they will now improve < and make our target to be more consistent and better their weekly results. Then we not only survive but a top 12 is ours. The biggest question still open, are we really as good as we think we are...last 4 games excuses we played below par......... did we or have we found our par....? ???

Grewks Posted 18 October 2014 Share Posted 18 October 2014 This 'We were too defensive' argument is doing my F*****g head in. You do not get caught on the counter attack, away from home at 0-0 in a game when your opposition are favourites if you are 'playing defensive'. Going for the three points... 1) Too early 2) Recklessly Is what cost us today. An away point, a dour 0-0, at any premier league ground (including turf moor and loftus road) would be a very very good result for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frost Posted 18 October 2014 Share Posted 18 October 2014 Case to be made that he's got the last three games wrong, tactically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalis Posted 18 October 2014 Share Posted 18 October 2014 He got it right bringing Vardy and Nugent on. Was watching this in the Leazes Stand with the gf and her dad (both Geordies). He was mightily impressed with our 'no 9 on the left wing', which says a lot about the neutral view on Vardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 18 October 2014 Share Posted 18 October 2014 He got it wrong to begin with today. Rectified it somewhat bringing Vardy and Nugent on. Case to be made that he's got the last three games wrong, tactically. Burnley it was more the players fault. Had our chances to preserve the lead and Pearson didn't exactly tell James to foul their player or tell Kasper to stand that far across his goal. Palace was wrong, yes.

peterborofox Posted 18 October 2014 Share Posted 18 October 2014 Problem for me is that we are trying to accommodate too many players. Ulloa must start because his goal tally. Then it seems like we will only look like playing at all well with Vardy and Nugent on the picth, and two into three dont go so we have to force them out wide. Nugent does look half decent from the bench, I would from now give Vardy amd Ulloa a three or four game run. Just think we look better with 442 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't just chuck all three strikers on and hope for the best, surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 18 October 2014 Share Posted 18 October 2014 Did he get it right leaving Ulloa on too though? You can't just chuck all three strikers on and hope for the best, surely. Probably not. He looked tired ironically when Vardy and Nugent came on. He looked off the pace most of the game actually. But then again, being asked to play as a lone striker isn't easy from the start.

inckley fox Posted 18 October 2014 Share Posted 18 October 2014 If we work on the principle that managers take responsibility for all results from the day they take charge, then yes he did get it wrong, and so do all managers on a fairly frequent basis. On a purely personal note I like seeing signs that a manager is going to take action on a slump in form, rather than brushing it under the carpet with nonsense about 'not taking chances' etc. The line-up is unsettled, the team aren't working hard enough and the defence is clearly not up to scratch - these are things which he can act on and must act on. We got plenty of excuses in early 2013 which didn't seem to do anyone any good. I thought Pearson had learned that there was no harm in setting the bar high when it came to performances. But this is my own personal, slightly over-emotional reaction. And I know that what a manager says to the media and what he says to his team are different things. He got it wrong today, just as he did in the two previous games. But if he gets it right over the coming week we'll still be on track for a promising campaign.

ZeljkoKalac1 Posted 18 October 2014 Share Posted 18 October 2014 Yes he did get it wrong but he put it right very early 2nd half. Could have gone either way. Albrighton and Schupp were rubbish. When we brought on Vardy/Nugent we had them on the ropes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we brought on Vardy/Nugent we had them on the ropes. I'm not convinced. We made one clear-cut chance, had a smattering of other openings, were repeatedly caught out on the break and conceded a goal - and three points to a side who haven't won all season. If that's putting it right / having the opposition on the ropes then we're in trouble! Leicester were poor today, second half included. Vardy had an impact and Nugent found spaces which Albrighton had failed to exploit, but he never actually did anything with those opportunities. That looked for all the world like a poor game between two sides who are going to struggle to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
