Fox Ulike Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 Go and get your coaching badges and start looking for jobs, The game certainly doesn't have enough, or indeed any, faultless managers at the moment, so you'll be a breath of fresh air. Finally some recognition.
Fox Ulike Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 No, that's because he picks his team before the game and not afterwards. Anyway Pearson shouldn't need hindsight to know that Vardy isn't a winger. He's a Premiership manager he should have a good understanding of the capabilities of his players. You can tell by the way he plays. He just isn't that sort of player. He had one magical game against Man United back in September. But surely we have all come to realise that the 5-3 wasn't a representative game? Jamie Vardy is not a winger. He wasn't on Friday, he certainly wasn't on Saturday, and he still isn't one today. Hindsight yer arse! Same with the Drinkwater/King partnership. You don't need hindsight to know that there isn't enough defensive capabilities about the partnership to play away from home. Ditto Ulloa/Vardy. You can't play both of them upfront in the Premiership. Results have born this out. I don't need to watch every episode of Mrs Browns Boys to know that it's a steaming heap of crap. I just KNOW from watching five minutes of it. And I don't need hindsight to tell you that playing Kramaric and Ulloa up front with Vardy on the wing away at Old Trafford is also a steaming heap of crap. I could of told you before the game. I could have told you when we were 3-0 down at half-time. And I can tell you now. I just KNOW!!

Dear chap you are arguing with the wrong person with regards all of those, considering they are all things I don't agree with Pearson on and have stated so basically all weekend. But, you and many other do use the benefit of hindsight on a multitude of things week in and week out.
Fox Ulike Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 Dear chap you are arguing with the wrong person with regards all of those, considering they are all things I don't agree with Pearson on and have stated so basically all weekend. But, you and many other do use the benefit of hindsight on a multitude of things week in and week out. Not really. I’ve been saying about King/Drinkwater for years now. I said about Vardy/Ulloa in September You’re confusing foresight with hindsight. Admittedly I don’t think I’ve ever said “Vardy is not a winger” before, but that’s cos I assumed Pearson wouldn’t be so stupid as to try him out there after the Swansea game. I’ve never said “Konchesky shouldn’t be played up front” either. I never thought I’d ever need to. Just for your benefit, should I state all the bizarre formations and team selections that Pearson might try just so you don’t come out with “Hindsight is a wonderful thing” when I complain about it on a Monday morning? For starters: David Nugent is not a central defender. Now you can’t accuse me of ‘hindsight’ when Pearson plays him there against Palace. Maybe Mark W is right. Maybe I should be Manager.
Pasty1 Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 The players are still playing for Pearson so that surely proves that they have faith in him? If the owners' are MEGA ambitious they can chuck money into the club - like Man-City and bring in a Foreign Coach and sack Pearson... But I believe they are happy with our progress and the Manager and - importantly - his staff...

As I just said, those points are not ones that I am currently referring to, I agree with you on them. But there are occasions when you have, as I remember pointing it out. Just as Mark pointed out in his post previously. In defence of Pearson, King and Drinkwater clearly haven't been his first picks when everyone is available and fit. With one player suspended and two players returning from injury, he could have been hoping they manage to pull it off without having to risk another CM just yet who might not yet be 100%. We just don't know. If he was playing those two ALL the time, week in week out and it was clear he thought thy were his best bet, then yes I'd be very worried.
Dan Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 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 I like it. Well said. Saying that it's annoying hearing us hide behind the fact it was against Man Utd. I'm not even annoyed that we lost. I'm annoyed at the manner of it.

Strokes Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 They are being paid to play. Do you expect them to go on strike? Jeez! You know what he means, he clearly has not lost the respect of the squad. That is significant.
MC Prussian Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 They are being paid to play. Do you expect them to go on strike? Jeez! If they didn't like it at the club, they could always hand in a transfer request or buy themselves out of their contract.Stranger things have happened.
ratlad Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 cant beleive all the slack pearson is getting. city legend.
LCFCCKEANO Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 If we don't drop Morgan this May just turn me anti Pearson, just because of some of the utterly bizarre decisions he keeps making (drinks and king at United, no Albrighton ever, Repeatedly dropping Hamer, Konchesky having half a season, Mahrez barely seeing the pitch for two months, Vardy playing, Ulloa on the wing at Swansea). Still pro Pearson, but really disappointed in him this season
Itsthejoeker Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 Some of the comments on here are laughable. It's almost as if people think that footballers are completely incapable of thinking on their own. The blame of poor performances and lack of creation does not lie solely on the shoulders of a manager. Pearson didn't give Liverpool two penalties, or send off Konchesky for getting head butted. Pearson didn't get the linesman to forget the offside rule, or miss a sitter at Swansea or Southampton. I'm not suggesting we turn on our players, because we've had enough of that before. I am suggesting however, that we tone down some of the hatred and stop playing pin the tail just because we're worried about relegation.

But creativity can 100% be put on tactics, as can the facts that even with those sitters, we would've have lost with a whimper in those particular games

Still pro Pearson, but really disappointed in him this season Drinkwater and King together at Manchester United? He didn't have an awful lot to choose from, I think. James was suspended and we don't know whether Hammond and/or Cambiasso were fully fit or not simply rested for a much more all-important three-pointer against Crystal Palace this week. Repeatedly dropping Hamer? He has been our starting goalkeeper for quite a long stretch. Oftentimes, you've got to work with what you've got. And due to injuries, suspensions or other absences, that's not always an easy or thankful task. Hence Vardy or Ulloa playing in odd positions at times - but how often has that happened, really? As for Mahrez, you know he's been away at the Africa Cup for almost a month now, do you? And in between August and December, he was on international duty with Algeria during the qualification stages of said tournament.

But creativity can 100% be put on tactics, as can the facts that even with those sitters, we would've have lost with a whimper in those particular games There is nothing to suggest he isn't encouraging creativity, without the ball in midfield we can't show that, and failure to hold the ball in midfield only shows that we're being outclassed. The missed sitters are down to a lack of composure whilst taking the shot, it has nothing to do with Pearson.
LCFCCKEANO Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 he played every game at the AFCONI was talking October- November time when we went with the diamond for ages

The missed sitters are down to a lack of composure whilst taking the shot, it has nothing to do with Pearson. The outclassing can again show a lack of signings in that area, and the fact we haven't really pursued a strong cm this window aggressively once again is poor
Itsthejoeker Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 The outclassing can again show a lack of signings in that area, and the fact we haven't really pursued a strong cm this window aggressively once again is poor I raised this point in another thread so I'll repeat it here. Just because you haven't read about it, it doesn't mean we haven't been pursuing "a strong cm".
CosbehFox Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 I was talking October- November time when we went with the diamond for ages It was very clear during that period that Mahrez had zero work rate in a defensive capability. As shown by his performance at Swansea where he played for himself.
MC Prussian Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 I was talking October- November time when we went with the diamond for ages ... and Mahrez didn't feature for a whopping two games.
LCFCCKEANO Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 I raised this point in another thread so I'll repeat it here. Just because you haven't read about it, it doesn't mean we haven't been pursuing "a strong cm".Fair enough, just as I said very disappointed with some of the silly shit he has come out with this year and his lack of acknowledgement of his mistakes
LCFCCKEANO Posted 2 February 2015 Posted 2 February 2015 ... and Mahrez didn't feature for a whopping two games.That was just one of my points anyway, just saying some of the time I have been disappointed with him is all, surely you will admit he has made a large amount of mistakes this season...
