Mark_w Posted 1 February 2015 Posted 1 February 2015 Your spot on. His defenders mainly Mark W and MC Prussian used to point to individual errors costing us football matches. When have I done that?

Strokes Posted 1 February 2015 Posted 1 February 2015 In other news, everyone's favorite manager in December, Pulis, played a blinder today.

ealingfox Posted 1 February 2015 Posted 1 February 2015 Equally though if half of the disgusting refereeing decisions that we have had to endure had gone the other way we could well be sitting outside of the relegation zone, and if that was the case nobody would be questioning Pearson.
Stadt Posted 1 February 2015 Posted 1 February 2015 What happens when Albrighton starts and we still don't win?
Kitchandro Posted 1 February 2015 Posted 1 February 2015 Equally though if half of the disgusting refereeing decisions that we have had to endure had gone the other way we could well be sitting outside of the relegation zone, and if that was the case nobody would be questioning Pearson. That's not true, he'd have still made numerous tactical fvck ups which would have still cost us loads of points. We'd be saying we could be safe already if it wasn't for poor tactics. A lot of things make the difference to the final table but the bottom line is we're not bottom just on luck. We've let ourselves down badly this season and that's why we're struggling.

MC Prussian Posted 1 February 2015 Posted 1 February 2015 Your spot on. His defenders mainly Mark W and MC Prussian used to point to individual errors costing us football matches. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Nigel Pearson is the reason were losing matches now. Why were we losing football matches before that then? Like I said, team selection worked quite well up until that dear linesman error - then our players caved in and weren't alert enough following that low blow. I think the manager rectified things at half-time. Yes, United took the foot off the gas a bit, but I thought we came across as composed as we were before Van Persie scored.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Nigel Pearson is the reason were losing matches now. Not the fact we are playing against a team with 300 million pounds worth of players on the pitch. Granted we were poor today but we were never going to get something out of the game, next weekend is the one we must win. If we lose and Pearson still picks Andy King then you can complain all you want.

I think the manager rectified things at half-time. Yes, United took the foot off the gas a bit, but I thought we came across as composed as we were before Van Persie scored. I agree with this, and also 90% of our fanbase had said that we were gonna get hammered BEFORE the team was selected, so why do they all think pearson got it so wrong when most of them were predicting a heavy loss? We lost to one of the most expensively assembled teams in the whole world, so get over it. I swear, half the posters on here think it's a piece of piss to manage a top flight team, god only knows why they're packing crisps and producing pork pies. A few classics- "pearson team selection baffles me" That's because a door handle is a puzzle to some of you. "I just can't see his thinking in playing two in the middle " Unless you're mystic ****ing meg, then no, you don't know what his thoughts are, nor do you need to, ya spotty little Herbert, your only worry is to keep them shelves stacked, that's your job, managing leicester is his. And the owners will give him as much time as they see fit, as is their right as the ****ing owners.... "Pearson is inept" Please please anybody writing this bile put " Pearson is an inept multi millionaire manager who has won the title in every league he has managed us. So far. Thanks. Last year when we won the league, I actually heard someone say"sound, if we're bottom come Xmas, pearson will be gone at last". I rightly called him an ungrateful little twat. And that's what half on here are.
suffolk fox Posted 1 February 2015 Posted 1 February 2015 For all those that keep on defending the tactically inept Messiah in Nfp please can they explain to me why yesterday he decided to play A right footed player at left back? A left footed player in midfield on the right? Vardy and Karamic on the wings? Ffs? If Huth comes in watch Was be dropped cos he won't drop his beloved captain. We will be down by the end of February and it will be all his fault. Still in Nigel we trust.

I very much doubt we'll be down by the end of Feb (it's probably not even mathematically possible) given how tight it is down there and teams around us lose anyway.
m4DD0gg Posted 1 February 2015 Posted 1 February 2015 This video pretty much sums up the season just replace mojo with leicester city.
Babylon Posted 1 February 2015 Posted 1 February 2015 How could you defend him? I have no idea how you can defend 1) - Dropping a goalkeeper who has been part of a solid defence for the past 4 or 5 league games for your 42 year old pal 2) - Playing a guy who wasn't good enough at RB at LB 3) - Playing what has consistently been your worst CM pairing this season 4) - Playing Vardy on the wing and leaving your best winger over recent games, Albrighton, out 5) - Bringing him on and taking the guy you signed to nod in his crosses off (again), who is also by far and away your top scorer 6) - Bringing off 17m of attacking talent when you need a goal, having played one of them way too deep, and after neither of them had a half-chance to get on the scoresheet 7) - Dropping Knockaert after a couple of decent performances You could argue over anything else, but you'd be insane to debate these points. Just like you'd be insane to do anything other than blame the manager's decision to drop his best winger and leave 17m of attacking talent on the bench at home to Stoke, then go on to fail to score, and lose. Pearson's decisions have been mind-blowingly weird this season. I've never wanted him sacked, but he has the lion's share of the blame for us being as crap as we have this season. I think it's pretty easy to argue against some of those points. Pearson should rightly take critisism from this, mainly over Vardy and Albrighton and not going 5 in the middle from the start, but a quite a few of those points are a bit unfair. 1) Lets not make Hamer out to be anything amazing. The bloke has done ok and what has been asked of him, but he's not been tested a huge amount. His kicking against Stoke was also a new level of woefulness. It's an understandable decision with a good experienced keeper as an option. 2) De Laet has performed well so far in that position against Liverpool and Spurs. With both games culminating in Sclhupp having his two best games in front of him. Many of this forum, including those moaning about Pearson have advocated him playing there ahead of Konchesky. Now you can say "lets play Schlupp there", but he has looked one of our most dangerous outlets for the last month. To suddenly relegate him to left back (a position he looked defensively suspect in the championship), would be no more stupid than putting Vardy on the wing instead of Albrighton. 5 & 6) It was pretty obvious we needed an extra body in midfield, that was almost universally agreed in the match thread. So you had to sacrifice one of the "£17m attacking talent" for starters. That leaves you with a lone striker, we were feeding off scraps and we needed the legs to actually chase after forward balls something Ulloa isn't going to be able to do. So whilst I appreciate the sentiment of keeping your best crosser on and your best header on together and playing all your £17m worth of talent, and getting another man in midfield (which was really the crux of the problem), it's somewhat difficult to do without playing with 12 men. 7) Knockaert was originally dropped for Schlupp, which was entirely understandable considering where his performance levels had been prior to missing a game or two through injury. Shoe horning Vardy in on the wing is another matter though.
Dickov22 Posted 1 February 2015 Posted 1 February 2015 Imagine we'd sacked Pearson after the West Ham game (as a lot of fans wanted) and brought Pulis in. Pulis then wins at Hull, comes back from 2-0 down a Liverpool to draw, beats Villa, beats Newcastle and Spurs away in the cup. You'd all be saying he's turning it around. Awful decisions by Pearson yesterday, but keep the faith
Babylon Posted 1 February 2015 Posted 1 February 2015 For all those that keep on defending the tactically inept Messiah in Nfp please can they explain to me why yesterday he decided to play A right footed player at left back? Because he'd played well there the other games there and he isn't Konchesky A left footed player in midfield on the right? Eh... we've played pretty much the whole of the last 2 years with a left footed player on the right wing. And NOW you bring it up when actually we put a player who is right footed there? Vardy and Karamic on the wings? Ffs? Vardy fair enough, but Kramaric was there a matter of minutes and replaced. If Huth comes in watch Was be dropped cos he won't drop his beloved captain. We will be down by the end of February and it will be all his fault. Still in Nigel we trust.
CosbehFox Posted 1 February 2015 Posted 1 February 2015 People are wasting their breath advocating his sacking, it's far too late for that and rather than consistently look for problems, they ought get their head around it that it's going to be hard work for us to stay up. Get behind them rather needlessly looking for solutions which you have very little impact on etc. This whole Albrighton is a epidemic in football. Let's get this right other than two games, he's looked far short of fitness and ability to beat man. He becomes a better player because he's on the bench. I don't suggest Vardy is the answer tho either. No-one will ever know what's happened with our transfer dealings. Whether it be we are not willing to pay the going rate, maybe we've made a hash of it all or maybe no one wanted to join a newly promotion side. I don't think its for a lack of trying despite some thinking that as we aren't linked to players in the media, we must not be doing any transfers. For me until the manager loses the players, the manager deserves a season.

I think the manager rectified things at half-time. Yes, United took the foot off the gas a bit, but I thought we came across as composed as we were before Van Persie scored. But this is a recurring theme isn't it? If the team continue to set up playing as deep and negatively as we seem to every week and be prepared to compete on 30% possession, then eventually this happens. Just like Wes' own goals and the dodgy penalties at Liverpool. We are helping the opposition to make their own luck.
Dr The Singh Posted 1 February 2015 Posted 1 February 2015 Peeson is going nowhere, I'm resulted to just criticism of his poor management. However he has plenty of matches to make a mends, I would love to see him prove me wrong. I doubt that will happen, I look forward to us in the champoinship, where Peeson belongs

I'm sure every team could state that. If our manager picked the right team and formation in 90% of games we would also be out the bottom 3, but easier to blame refs for our shocking season.

Quite a few times this season he's picked the team that most people on here wanted before the game and we've still gone on to lose.
