bovril Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Did you think relegation wasn't a possibility? I think too many people expected that we only had to get promoted and all the glory of the O'Neill years would come flooding back. I don't think so. If I remember, this board was split 50/50 on whether we'd stay up. But the football today was so painful, and it was like that for three months from October to December. Now, after our mini revival, we've lost four league games on the bounce. We can't string three passes together. I feel like I'm repeating myself but do you really think fans are going to accept that standard of football? If we had played like that last season we'd have finished outside the playoffs.
Eskay Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Still can't believe that in a cup tie he only made one sub!!! Did he think goal difference counts? Utter shambles at the moment.

Raj Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Did you think relegation wasn't a possibility? I think too many people expected that we only had to get promoted and all the glory of the O'Neill years would come flooding back. NO. Most of us knew we would be in a dog fight. Most of us though thought we'd make a scrap of it and the manager would LEARN from his mistakes,not just make them week in week out! He's been great for us and will go down in the history books for what he has achievd. BUT all the good work and 10 years to get here is slowly and painfully vanishing before our very eyes. Some of his remarks are of a petulent man who thinks he is indestructable as a LCFC boss. It all started with his Burnley"weare bigger than them in every area" remarks...alot of folks on here found it funny....your not laughing now are you!!!

LCFCSOULBOY Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 I would give him a 50 year contract, he can manage us after he is dead .. that is funny .I have to say
AKCJ Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 In the sake of fairness, he said "We were better than them in every area" after the home game against them. Which was true, how they got a draw out of that game i'll never know.
crisp packet Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Half expected this. It's got to the stage where one bad result and I feel he's gone.. To be fair he's lucky already to have his job? 'The what a load of rubbish' from the upper tier behind the goal in the 90th min says people are not happy? We are out the cup! Get over it . League is the priority now BUT I can't be doing with the sheet we are down already? In a way am glad we are out the cup? I'll be at Everton this week supporting lcfc, wish most would ? We was as poor as the players today 6.5k JOKE.

Which was true, how they got a draw out of that game i'll never know. Because they attack with two up front. No matter who they play... Unlike us.
whoareyaaa Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Just give him till the end of the season there is still plenty of games to get out of the position we're in. Kramaric will save us.
Superpants82 Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 There is a reason the same managers do the rounds at this level, not every manager has the attributes to mange in top flight football. Pearson is one of them. Nobody can deny what he did in the past at lower levels but let's be realistic, to get the right players in firstly he hasn't got the pull of bigger name/ prem experienced manager. His tactical inability shows week in week out, man management must of gone out the window for the selections he's making. It's almost like he wants to get sacked at the moment. Just imagine if we did manage a scrape this season, could you handle another year of this, starting with a summer transfer policy of death.
Matt Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Fans were singing 'There's only one Nigel Pearson' before today's game so hes clearly loved by supporters....doubt that opinion has changed after 1 match to 'Sack Nigel Pearson' I think something changed today, alot seemed to be questioning and turning against him abit, he has had alot of support and people have stood by him but think today people have had enough. I keep saying i'm a Pearson fan but I can't defend the indefensible anymore.
Larry_LCFC Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 I cant help but sit here and chuckle at the remaining Pearsonites Talk about blind faith. Never mind delusions of grandeur, its just plain old delusional now. Pearson currently has us steaming down a one way track to relegation and despite what people say, the chances of us getting promoted again in the near future are pretty slim. If (or when) we go down, we will lose our best talent. The likes of Mahrez and Kramaric wont hang around. 9 points out of 60 is beyond laughable, it is utterly horrendous. We cant even say we have improved either - we make the same mistakes week in week out. It is always 1 step forward and then 2 steps back. Villa were there for the taking today, especially on the back of the Arsenal game. So what do we do, set up to defend with a lone striker, make 1 sub whilst losing, and then put on a performance that league one would be proud of. Get real people, we are going nowhere under Pearson except down.
Raj Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Just give him till the end of the season there is still plenty of games to get out of the position we're in. Kramaric will save us. Wewill still be saying this in April though!! !!! Krammy cant do much if he's left all upfront on his own and all we do is thump balls up 50 feet in the air!
Fox92 Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Agree Matt, I think a lot changed today too. Even I reconsidered my opinion, for most probably, the first time this season. Wasn't happy with that team selection and performance at all. A lot of fans felt the same way. Where I was sat today emptied after the second goal and a lot of people were very angry/frustrated with Pearson and the team. I was one of them.

shen Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 doesnt make this season anymore acceptable in my eyes 17th is the minimum we should aim for And 17th is what we are still aiming for. But in a game of Premier league musical chairs, someone has to lose and at the moment it looks like us. The possibility of that happening was always there and often it's the fine margins that decide who stays up and who goes down. Is it acceptable? Well if it was expected that we should finish top half or comfortably in mid table, then no. But then again, it wasn't. I don't think so. If I remember, this board was split 50/50 on whether we'd stay up. But the football today was so painful, and it was like that for three months from October to December. Now, after our mini revival, we've lost four league games on the bounce. We can't string three passes together. I feel like I'm repeating myself but do you really think fans are going to accept that standard of football? If we had played like that last season we'd have finished outside the playoffs. I would accept the standard of football we played against Arsenal, yes. A shame we spurned glorious chances and Morgan had another shocker. We tried it again today and it didn't work, and no, I wouldn't accept the kind of football we showed today unless it got results.
the-blue-wildabeast Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 We've made a show of it so far. Occasionally. If you seriously expected the first stint back in the Premier League in ten years with an unproven PL manager at the helm to continue where we left off in the Championship - where it took us three years to get it going under Pearson - then you were clearly expecting too much. A bit of desire, fight and tactical knowhow would have been nice but I guess i am deluded and expected too much. I can only dream of one day LCFC finishing higher than the mighty Burnley, because lets not forget, we are better in every dept than them.....

I keep saying i'm a Pearson fan but I can't defend the indefensible anymore. I agree. There were a decent section around me having a go at Pearson and very audible "what a load of rubbish" chants which haven't been heard for a very long time. I'm starting to turn as well and I see myself as pretty patient when it comes to managers. First time today I haven't joined in with "One Nigel Pearson" chants.
WardyisPukka Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 I think that's it Matt the majority of us support Nigel Pearson and thank him for his efforts but enough is enough now Agreed think its time - clearly tried his best but his tactics today and against teams around us have been baffling
lee7 Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Today was really poor! Other than the James shot first half we didn't really look like scoring. Kramaric scored that header from no where. Pearson needed to go in December, when we had more than enough time to turn this season around. Today we had an amazing opportunity to progress through to the quarter finals but we blew it with our rubbish performance. Even when losing 1-0 we didn't show a great deal of urgency!
hackneyfox Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Best chance in a lifetime of doing something in the FA Cup and he's just thrown it away. Unforgivable
MC Prussian Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Best chance in a lifetime of doing something in the FA Cup and he's just thrown it away. Unforgivable Could be worse. Could be Sunderland. Or Chelsea. Or Southampton. Or West Ham. Or Crystal Palace. "Best chance in a lifetime"? We were lucky to even have it made this far - remember that Newcastle goal that was that wasn't given? Not trying to take anything away from today's abhorrent performance in between minutes 45 and 70.
