harwich fox Posted 16 March 2013 Share Posted 16 March 2013 Their performances 9 times out of 10 are down to the manager ,as someone pointed out look at forest now with virtually the same group of players! If a company is going down the pan through poor management ,what do you do carry on with the managers and get rid of the workforce?No, he's lost their confidence so much that players like Wes are playing badly.

Guest BlueBrett Posted 16 March 2013 Share Posted 16 March 2013 It's the managers fault that we're in our highest league position for years, I agree. But we do have the best set of players we have had for years and we have spent a fortune. Blame Pearson or don't but there is no point pretending we are anything other than underachieving.

SMX11 Posted 16 March 2013 Share Posted 16 March 2013 I feel quite the opposite, the players have to shoulder most of the blame, they have lost their bottle at the crucial end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry - LCFC Posted 16 March 2013 Share Posted 16 March 2013 Their performances are down to the manager? Listen to yourself speak! The players control their own bodies FFS, they go out there and kick the ball around. How can you put the blame on the manager when a player misses a chance or misplaces a pass?

On that basis then, no manager would ever get the sack, because it would never be his fault.In fact why bother having a manager, just let Top buy the the players, then when they don`t perform he can sack them instead.

Perhaps after a certain game,with a striker "injured" there are a few players that have an "agenda"......just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of the blame must be placed on the players, some of it must go to the manager but as I said before, it is the players who play football and are responsible for their own performance. Tactics may help/hinder them but on the whole it will be how the players perform that will affect the result. Perhaps after a certain game,with a striker "injured" there are a few players that have an "agenda"......just saying. Sorry, you're going to have to explain that to me. I'm not getting your point. Are you suggesting the players want Pearson to be sacked? Personally I don't think that's likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They control the mindset of that team and the good habits they form which turn potential defeat into victory. Look at the times Manchester United have won with late goals. That's not endless years of good fortune. It's an attitude. and it's their attitude as much as the names on their shirts which make the difference. Hardly anyone had heard of Aberdeen as a footballing force til Ferguson went there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly anyone had heard of Aberdeen as a footballing force til Ferguson went there. I think that's a bit of a unique case. Ferguson's an exceptional manager but he would have won nothing without good players, I'll never shift from the belief that is the players who win matches, not managers. A manager can add to a team with tactics and inspiration but there's a limit to what he can do if his team aren't very good. In any case, has Pearson's approach changed that much? I don't think so to be honest. I think it's a case of players under performing and having key men out, James being injured seems to have been a big problem. Mate, forgive me for bumming you over the past few days but I agree with you time after time. No problem, I quite like being bummed anyway.

Weller in Tights Posted 16 March 2013 Share Posted 16 March 2013 Said it after the Huddersfield game and I'll say it again.... Pearson f***ed us up when he messed with the team for Huddersfield away. The confidence of what looked a good bunch of players started deteriorating and..... HE RE-INTRODUCED WELLENS !!! Can anyone say anything in favour of Wellens being in the line up today?!! The manager takes the blame iny opinion. (Obviously along with Wellens) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iancognito Posted 16 March 2013 Share Posted 16 March 2013 i never realised aberdeen are or have ever been a force in football? From Wiki Formed in 1903 as a result of the amalgamation of three clubs from Aberdeen, they rarely challenged for honours until the 1950s, when they won each of the major Scottish trophies under manager Dave Halliday. This level of success was surpassed in the 1980s, when, under the management of Alex Ferguson, they won three league titles, four Scottish Cups and a Scottish League Cup, alongside the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Super Cup, both in 1983. Aberdeen were the last club outside of the Old Firm to win a league title, in 1984/85, and also the last Scottish team to win a European trophy.

AndyBrew Posted 16 March 2013 Share Posted 16 March 2013 i never realised aberdeen are or have ever been a force in football? I'd look it up then, because when Ferguson was in charge of Aberdeen they won everything that they could, including European trophies, an astonishing achievement.

DanTheFox07 Posted 16 March 2013 Share Posted 16 March 2013 to real point is we haven`t won in 9 games and that isn`t good enough, if were struggling to win a game in this league do we really want to get promoted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
