LCFC_FAN_1995 Posted 15 December 2013 Posted 15 December 2013 He does give them instructions...but it's being told to Stowell who then tells Shakespeare. Don't see the problem with it..he gets a better view of the game
Stadt Posted 15 December 2013 Posted 15 December 2013 I don't think it's a coincidence that we have looked much better tactically this season with Pearson in the stand. It wasn't because of tactics we drew yesterday it was a lack of clinical finishing.
Number 6 Posted 15 December 2013 Posted 15 December 2013 Don't think the fact that all others stand on the touchlines is a good enough reason. Feel he's made some very good decisions up there. He prefers the view and we've made a great start to the season. Mountain, molehill.
Narborough_fox Posted 15 December 2013 Posted 15 December 2013 I really don't get this argument? Anyone who has sat on the front row of the KP/any stadium will know exactly what Pearson means when he says you get a better feel of the game when you're in the stand. You see the game as a whole up in the stands rather than struggling to see the other side of the pitch when on the touchline. Pearson never was one to jump up and down so what difference does him being up the stands be? Aye, maybe he can't tell the players personally what he wants be he's got Shakespeare and Stowell to do that. If it makes such a difference why do all Rugby bosses sit in the stands rather than stand on the touchlines?
crisp monster Posted 15 December 2013 Posted 15 December 2013 If he can see the game that well, why did he play Was at full back? Big fan of NP and wouldn't like us to lose him but I just don't get why he sits up there - unless his knees are playing up
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 16 December 2013 Posted 16 December 2013 Must be my age? But absolutely I'd rather see Pearson on the touchline, like Dyche was today. Even more important IMO as we have no clear leader on the pitch. I prefer seeing a manager controlling things from the edge of the pitch. Then again, I was brought up with MON. I have to agree. It's probably the lack of enthusiasm, that he melts into the background. He's hardly an inspirational character, now is he? It doesn't look right to me, but hey ho!
Unabomber Posted 16 December 2013 Posted 16 December 2013 Genuinely can't believe people are complaining about him sitting in the stand. For a start he has just had a second knee replacement surgery, and if it is better for him to be sitting, he might as well do it where he has a better view. If his knees are fully recovered and he still wants to sit in the stand, good luck to the bloke he can sit/stand where he likes.
foxfanazer Posted 16 December 2013 Posted 16 December 2013 I would like to see him back in the dugout but I wouldn't say it's why our forms dipped a little
The Horse's Mouth Posted 16 December 2013 Posted 16 December 2013 I don't really care, aslong as it's effective and yes I know the last 3 results have been disappointing but the majority of our good results have been when Pearson has been in the stands.
sylofox Posted 16 December 2013 Posted 16 December 2013 So fickle when he started and we were winning people were happy for him to do it. A couple of losses and its a problem.
Charl91 Posted 16 December 2013 Posted 16 December 2013 I don't think it makes a fvking bit of difference.
Devonfox1884 Posted 16 December 2013 Posted 16 December 2013 He is off to WBA anyway. And we'll have Di Canio running up and down the touchline. the thing is, if nige actually did leave for whatever reason, i would actually love Di Canio as our manager, it would certainly liven the touchline up.
AKCJ Posted 16 December 2013 Posted 16 December 2013 I remember seeing an interview with Rene Muelensteen a few years ago. He said that Sir Alex would stand on the touchline for the last 15-20 minutes of games they were either not playing well in or losing. He reckons that his presence would indicate his unhappiness and he felt that that was one of the reasons why United got so many late goals as his players stepped it up. In my opinion the manager should always be on the touchline. He should be the one giving the orders out. Let his coaching staff who might know other aspects of the game better than him (attacking positional play ect.) sit in the stands and tell him. Why does he have to be the one to sit in the stands? He's only doing it as an arrogant "**** you" to the F.A.
Fox92 Posted 16 December 2013 Posted 16 December 2013 He will have a better view, and it's probably doing him well sitting in the stands. Not too bothered about where he goes, the only thing I sort of miss is him drilling the players from the touchline. Although he will do it behind closed doors at half time etc.
Oxfordfox83 Posted 16 December 2013 Posted 16 December 2013 the thing is, if nige actually did leave for whatever reason, i would actually love Di Canio as our manager, it would certainly liven the touchline up. This sums it up for me. He might be a tactically inept bully with fascist links and a track record of isolating swathes of players to feed his own ego, but as long as he jumps up and down he's alright by me... Did you really mean that??

Oxfordfox83 Posted 16 December 2013 Posted 16 December 2013 no mate i was trying to be sarcastic, i guess it's hard getting it across on the web Apologies mate-it's impossible to tell on here!
Babylon Posted 16 December 2013 Posted 16 December 2013 I do hope so. Perhaps our players can then take the chains off get forward more and not be frightened to venture over the halfway line. Would that be the same players who are the second highest scorers in the league, also amassing more penalties and more shots than anyone else?
Babylon Posted 16 December 2013 Posted 16 December 2013 So many people desperate to defend him..... He's one of the only managers to do it... He's yet to be successful, if it was the best way to manage everyone would do it If it works then I don't really care, if it doesn't get your ****ing arse to the touchline and sort it out, So far it's worked so not fussed, but Christ people will do anything to defend him on here So, you wonder why people are defending him and then accept that so far we've had decent results with him sat in the stand... that's exactly why people are defending him. Dyche was roaring his team on, jumping up and down and living the game. Worked well for him in the first half didn't it. Errrr maybe not.
Corky Posted 16 December 2013 Posted 16 December 2013 Would that be the same players who are the second highest scorers in the league, also amassing more penalties and more shots than anyone else? Honestly, some people either don't watch or read about the game or have this inbuilt stance on Pearson. We create stacks of chances in home games.
Devonfox1884 Posted 16 December 2013 Posted 16 December 2013 Apologies mate-it's impossible to tell on here! Apology accepted for the record, if nige did go, i would like to see martin allen as our manager, i'll probably get slated for saying that, but he seems like a really down to earth, nice guy who could get the players enjoying their football. (that wasn't sarcasm btw )
Babylon Posted 16 December 2013 Posted 16 December 2013 Manager should be motivating his players on the touchline. Not letting the assistant do it while he 'observes' the match from the stands. I much preferred the Pearson throwing bottles around and shouting a few seasons ago. Had more faith in him then You had more faith in him because he threw bottles If he sits in the stand, and thinks that it helps him make better calls, then let him sit in the sodding stand. Honestly, some people either don't watch or read about the game or have this inbuilt stance on Pearson. We create stacks of chances in home games. And people wonder why we are quick to defend Pearson... it's hard not too when people are so full of shit really isn't it.
Babylon Posted 16 December 2013 Posted 16 December 2013 Funny how nobody was mentioning it a few games ago.
allotment-fox Posted 16 December 2013 Posted 16 December 2013 From the stand you get a wider perpective of the game But at the end of the day it's his call and he's got his team of coaches on the bench.
Guest Col city fan Posted 16 December 2013 Posted 16 December 2013 I make the point again...literally NO Prem managers watched their respective teams from the stands over the weekend. Are they all wrong? Or do they all consider they actually should be directing their players from the touchline. Thats an awful lot of managers, employed at a higher level than Pearson, all doing the same thing. Yet, our fans 'dont mind' what Pearson does? The lengths people will go to argue that their beloved Pearson is right gets worse with this very thread.
