Arriba Los Zorros Posted 20 May 2015 Share Posted 20 May 2015 What I don't understand about the anti-Pearson brigade is the absolute venom with which they berate him, you might not think he's up to the job or you might think he's out of his depth but there's no need for the vitriol for a manager who has been very successful for us. Another thing that grates on the 'Pearsonites' is how quickly he gets written off when he's proven that he usually learns in the end albeit slowly. There's usually a clamour for an unrealistic or worse/similar target which is frustrating too. Pearson is by no means perfect and sometimes the Pearsonites' (myself included) are perhaps too rash to defend him almost unconditionally but there's a frustration borne out of people that are completely irrational, people with 39 posts with all of them criticising Pearson that disappear when things are going well and people that are desperate to be proved right about him being a clown. There's not a Pearson in clique or whatever but 90% of Pearson out posts are based on myths, vitriol, raging pessimism or just a dislike of the man, so Pearsonites get fed up with repetitive drivel; that gets 'shutdown' whilst well reasoned arguments are welcome but it's the scarcity of them which makes the in/out debates so mind-numbing. hear hear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the only one making a fool of himself is the Leicester fan jumping on things that aren't there. This, they're right that it's clear that he is there due to others being away at U21s or being injured. That being said unless he wants to be experimental it's more likely for Vardy as one of four strikers to be given a run out rather than Heaton whose likely third choice 'keeper.

Yeah it's a no-go zone for Leicester fans IMO. So many people are saying that "he's only played well for the latter part of the season and only four goals", isn't a player that is on form right before England games the best kind of player? It's like they'd rather pick a player that has 6 goals over 9 months of playing, just because he has 2 goals more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgfualol Posted 21 May 2015 Share Posted 21 May 2015 Why on earth would Puncheon get picked over Vardy when Puncheon is a midfielder? Absolute tools According to Reddit, because he has more goals.

Simmsy Posted 21 May 2015 Share Posted 21 May 2015 (edited) Crystal Palace fans are tearing him apart on there! "If Cresswell had been taken ahead of Dann I'd have held my hands up and gone "that's fine, he's had a great season". But Jamie ****ing Vardy?" Because Scott Dann is well renowned for his striking exploits. People are saying Puncheon should be picked over him as well, who once again isn't a striker. A squad has to contain options in every position, the squad isn't necessarily all of the 'best' players but the best balance and Vardy provides a different option up front not to mention the fact he's earned a chance with his performances. I genuinely have no idea who people want picked ahead of Vardy who isn't injured/playing for the under 21s. Can't think of a single one myself.
