Keep Pearson, sack the defense.

Sack the person who picked the defence

[Xen]

Okay, I've been a fan of Pearson's since he first joined us, but that's it, he has to go now. This is just horrific.

[foxes_rule1978]

Were you saying that on 1st September out of interest? It's a total death knell for newly promoted clubs to not be able to see if their players are able to adapt. Criticism is very easy in hindsight.

II'm not paid to know the quality required pearson is paid and should know whether what he has put together over the summer will be good enough. From what I can see we are short by 2-3 quality players

[ealingfox]

Finishing - awful

Set Pieces - worse than awful

Defending - humiliatingly bad.

I dont want him to go, but I dont think he could have any complaints about getting his P45 at this stage tbh.

At PL level: The coaching is terrible at both ends of the pitch, too many of the players are off the pace, the tactics are muddled, the team is not playing close to its full potential, the mentality is not there.

We have had more than our fair share of bad luck but that is standard fare when you're in the bottom quarter.

To be in the lead in 3 consecutive games and lose ALL of them is unacceptable. There is no two ways about it.

For me the primary reason for keeping Pearson now is next season. That's an incredibly depressing thought in early December.

[Jonezy]

We are really just f**king shit....

 

Can't defend, can't clear a ball, can't do set pieces either way and completely out of confidence. Sad really. 

[justfoxes]

Jesus that bloke NIGEL on radio Leicester is away with the fairies FFS

[jmono84]

We give up possession too easily. It's well too easy for teams to create against us. We will concede goals playing the way we are. Pearson needs to make changes immediately, I was so surprised to see a 442 again today. Dreadful performance and the players look completely out of sorts. I do think we have a decent footballing team but we need to start passing the ball. Oh and HUTTON what a scumbag... Kicked out at Schluup, squared up to Konch and only gets a yellow and Konch sees a straight red, just wtf???? Awful ref

[Blanesta]

Keep Pearson, sack the defense.

 

 

Don't worry mate they're getting themselves suspended every game.

[Tuna]

Moore not ready for premier league, lost his man lost us a goal and the game.

[buzzy]

lets see if the board have got the guts to do what they should have done 3 games ago. who is this prat on leicester radio called ben he will be happy to go down with pearson because we will go straight back up. deluded

[jimmeh]

Keep Pearson, sack the defense.

The defence he signed/plays?

[Webbo]

Back when most on here thought we were the dog's bollocks. Righto.

What we think means fvck all. It's the manager's job to know better.

[Foxey id]

So on the 21st September we had 8 points and were 7th in the league.

 

On 7th December we have 10 points and 20th. After playing all the bottom half teams (but Hull).

 

 

That's not depressing at all. 

 

Thats shocking

[Brainy]

Absolutely livid that we treated Villa as though they were a top four side

[bovril]

Dogs!it post.

 

Why don't you tell him why you disagree and how you think we can improve?

[Banks]

Pearson out. 

[Thrill Bert Fox]

No person is laughing at all of us for still supporting him. Needs to go NOW players not motivated by fear management approach. If you have a view and it's not the same as Nigel supporter or player we know what Nigel wants to happen to us

[ForzaFerrari]

Get King for James.

The ref is gambled.

Keep Nige and sack the defence.

Now I can only comsole myself with our vice captain's decent saves.

[lgfualol]

Merge the threads

[surrifox]

well sorry to strike a discordant note but from the comfort of my armchair with a bottle of rather agreeable claret I watched a Leicester side ( despite playing against 12)  give pretty much everything and even  down to 10 and as the away side made Villa look the ordinary lack lustre outfit they have been pretty much ever  since I have started following  football.

 

The expected predictable knee jerk "sack pearson "  response is inevitable but embarrassing .

[bellind]

James really had a mare, he's better than that!!!  :xmasdry:

 

Why has he change so much since last season.

[the messenger]

The transfer restrictions in this league are ridiculous now, what's a manager to do when we're clearly this short of quality and his hands are tied for four months?

 

Make the right signings in the summer just gone!

[Singha Beer Is Good!]

No doubt there will be hundreds of people on here now demanding Pearson to be sacked......there is no outstanding candidate to replace him.

 

I'm not suggesting we aren't dire at the moment, we are, but this is the man who took us up as champions just a few months ago. He has to be given time to sort it out.

 

:xmasunsure: 

[ARM1968]

Cambiasso played well. James was awful. Defence is utter manure. We are in serious trouble. Nugent was unlucky. Konch. WTF?

[Mike the Metal Ed]

What we think means fvck all. It's the manager's job to know better.

 

I don't neccessarily disagree, I just think 1st Semptember is way to early to judge where you stand in comparison to the rest of the league and harms clubs coming up. Our one league defeat at that point had been a half decent defeat at Stamford Bridge.
