johnny the fox Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 Nigel came back and gave us another chance.. look what he did, surely we all need to take a step back and at least give the bloke the same...time for cool heads.
GingerrrFox Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 People who want him out are ****ing nob jockeys who come out with the same old shit when the team isn't winning. The gulf in quality between this league and the Championship is massive and people who thought we would go up and batter teams because stormed last season have had a reality check.
Matt Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 I'm giving him a chance, I like the bloke. It's the players that are letting him down, with a mix of his wrong selections and formation (You cannot really deny that, as much as I like and support the bloke he is choosing wrong player/not choosing players that need to be playing and is pissing about with the formation) but ultimately and i'm getting sick and tired of saying this if our players cannon pass to one another we will not be successful. I'm all for giving NP a chance, we just need the players to help him out abit.
DennisNedry Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 People are just frustrated, and rightfully so. It's been 7 weeks since we had something to smile about. 6 very disappointing games (Burnley felt like a defeat) against opposition we should be competing with.

The gulf in quality between this league and the Championship is massive and people who thought we would go up and batter teams because stormed last season have had a reality check. Agree about the difference in class. The shame for me is that we don't appear to be even giving it a go.Our summer recruitment was frankly pathetic. Now maybe we couldn't attract anyone but we haven't markedly improved the starting eleven. We have too many players either past it or simply not good enough. The summer was badly managed and we appear to have let sentiment rule over pragmatism. We aren't good enough in any position on the pitch. I don't see that we have the personnel to make a difference.
GingerrrFox Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 This all started from conceding a late goal against Burnley and the wind was taken out of our sails. Looking at the past few games, IT'S NOT THE MANAGERS FAULT if professional footballers go out on to a pitch and smash the ball 30 yards upfield rather than have the conviction to show for the ball and have the confidence to make better decisions and handle pressure, NOT HIS FAULT that they don't execute simple passes unopposed to each other, NOT HIS FAULT that they don't show game intelligence to move and create space for each other, NOT HIS FAULT that the players seemed to have lost trust and confidence in each other. Personally I don't think we have enough quality in the squad and Nigel was too trusting on his players to make the step up. Look at our strikers, only Ulloa and Vardy I believe are worthy of a spot in this squad, Nugent and Wood have never been and will never be Premier League quality.
johnny the fox Posted 8 November 2014 Author Posted 8 November 2014 Pearson ain't perfect.. but while we were winning every week nobody cared.... the fact is he is a man who won't dance for anybody... I for one respect that... I would love to see the MAN U forum in Fergies first two years..
Monsell1976 Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 Only as good as your last game, as sad as it is to say, football is a results buisness. People would be more tolerant if the performances show some promise, but we select a team with very little creativity, and wonder why we get beat, we are not good enough defensively to use these tactics, as we have had 1 clean sheet all season. Pearson persistence with these tactics will cost him his job, as we don't look like scoring, let alone out scoring someone.

I'm all for giving NP a chance, we just need the players to help him out abit. The players aren't letting him down at all, he's letting them down. They did their best today, you couldn't fault their effort (bar maybe Ulloa who looked knackered and Powell when he came on). But they cannot play the way Pearson is asking them to play. I don't want Pearson out but I cannot control that, only he can help himself. We will only get better when he changes his tactics and, to an extent, personnel. That is the only way the team will improve.
ImBlue Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 Nigel came back and gave us another chance.. look what he did, surely we all need to take a step back and at least give the bloke the same...time for cool heads. No thanks. I'd rather see Thais pull the trigger on his arrogant ass.
johnny the fox Posted 8 November 2014 Author Posted 8 November 2014 No thanks. I'd rather see Thais pull the trigger on his arrogant ass. very constructive.. it seems over your supporting years you have learned nothing.. give us the name of the messiah ?
MHC Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 Tony Pulis is the obvious choice to be his replacement, but we would need to act fast because if anyone else in the Premier League pulls the plug on their manager he would surely be approached. I appreciate everything Nigel has done for the club but he may be out of his depth. His level is the championship and he has taken us as far as his capabilities will allow. Six points out of the next two games or he's got to go, no more excuses.

I don't want Pearson out but I cannot control that, only he can help himself. We will only get better when he changes his tactics and, to an extent, personnel. That is the only way the team will improve. But let's start with basics, the bare minimum, my main gripe simple passing. Those players, those professional footballers cannot string together a simple pass, too much losing possession, too many misplaced passes. Without passing, without getting hold of the ball you ain't gonna get very far, they can't do that simple, basic part of the game. That is not NP's fault.
Guest Sharpe's Fox Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 I've never understood people wanting 4 or 5 people to lose their jobs because the team is losing games. It's pretty pathetic, really. People who want Pulis in, we are not Palace or Stoke. We don't have an 11 full of giants and if Pearson hasn't got hoofball close to working I don't see how Pulis will (not to mention he's an utter cvnt.)

Not his fault that these issues haven't been addressed in 6 games then I'm guessing then? "Taking on BinHeads and Plastics for the sake of "Real Leicester Fans' everywhere." Tells me all I need to know about your intolerant mentality towards so-called 'plastics', and I don't even want Pearson out. Let's be realistic here, there are serious issues that Pearson has not addressed. He deserves criticism for this.
Jakemoore Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 I don't want him out. I do want him to man up and go all out attack on a regular basis. That's our strength so play to it.
Kitchandro Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 But let's start with basics, the bare minimum, my main gripe simple, passing. Those players, those professional footballers cannot string together a simple pass, too much losing possession, too many misplaced passes. Without passing, without getting hold of the ball you ain't gonna get very far, they can't do that simple, basic part of the game. That is not NP's fault. Of course they're losing possession - who are they supposed to be passing to? They can't keep passing it backwards, that puts us under pressure. If they pass it sidewards they are just putting that guy in the shit because the opposition player is two yards away. They can't pass it forwards, there's no one there! They have precious little options on the ball and that makes passing very difficult. 5 yard passes are not so easy when there are two Southampton players standing in the way of the receiver. So what do they do? Hit and hope. And lo and behold, the ball is given away. Due to no options. That is Pearson's fault, he has put them into these situations in matches. These tactics give us less options, which make us give the ball away more, which leads to less confidence, which leads to giving away the ball more. All of it is caused by Pearson. Not every stray pass is excusable but the point is the mindset and approach to the game is causing the players to perform below themselves. As for players who consistently don't have the quality to pass the ball - i.e. Schlupp, that's Pearson's fault for picking him.

Tielemans63 Posted 8 November 2014 Posted 8 November 2014 I definitely don't want to see him go, the last thing we need is more upheaval. That said, I think he needs to start learning from his mistakes a little quicker. This was always going to be a learning curve for him as much as for the players but playing to contain the opposition and the midfield diamond should be scrapped ASAP as those tactics just aren't working.

But that's not when it started is it. We lined up against Palace with an absolutely awful team for no reason whatsoever. The game before that was a massive win against Man U but for some reason Pearson went all negative from that point on. It is him and his attitude that has brought this on.

The exact same side that started against United started against Palace. In the exact same formation. One week we won 5-3, the next we lost 2-0. Go figure.
