rhollis14 Posted 10 December 2014 Posted 10 December 2014 The unfortunate fact that we have to realise is that the players are simply not good enough for this division. I thought several of them would have made the step up such as Drinkwater, James, Nugent, Morgan, but none of those have whatsoever. Getting a new manager would not solve the problem, as we can't change the players yet. Even if we look to sign players in January, players who will severely improve the team would not want to join a team who is bottom. What I would say is that we are losing out in midfield, so I think taking Vardy out of team (runs around like a headless chicken with no quality), and putting Drinkwater in may give us extra strength in midfielder which we desperately need. This will then allow Mahrez to be relieved of some of his defensive responsibilities, and him and Schlupp can be used as wingers. What I would say is that key areas were not addressed in the summer. We needed two new central defenders, a defensive midfielder, a left back and another striker. The only players who we brought in who have slightly improved the team are Cambiasso and Ulloa. Players like Albrighton, Powell and Upson are nowhere near good enough for the Premier League. All in all, stick with Pearson, keep the continuity and see where we end up. I do not want an oik like Tony Pulis managing our club with his hoof ball tactics.
Wilson_6 Posted 10 December 2014 Posted 10 December 2014 Am i the only person who thinks Morgan has done alright? He's been wobbly the last few weeks but what about the start of the season when he had players such as Lukaku and Sanchez in his back pocket?

Despite last game I would give Hammer a go (though I doubt NP will) as Kasper just isn't dominant enough. The defence needs organising - can't believe NP allows this to go unresolved.
Harry - LCFC Posted 10 December 2014 Posted 10 December 2014 Don't agree that the players aren't good enough. People have been passing it off as fact for weeks now, I've had enough of people telling me "we just need to accept it." No. No we don't. I think we're playing well below ourselves and expect performances to improve at some point.

I do not want an oik like Tony Pulis managing our club with his hoof ball tactics. I kinda agree that it would be pointless to get rid of him .... But it is him that put his faith in those players and didn't sign anyone better .... That's the biggest concern for me .... He just didn't add anywhere near enough quality to the squad in the summer - is that because he didn't have enough of a pull, or because he chose not to??? Either are a big worry!!
foxinsocks Posted 10 December 2014 Posted 10 December 2014 we all make mistakes - hindsight is pretty exact... important thing is that we learn from our mistakes - I hope Nigel has!
Babylon Posted 10 December 2014 Posted 10 December 2014 The players are currently not performing, I'm not sure it's 100% clear yet whether they are or aren't good enough. Remember seasons past where players got written off as useless and then went on to win player of the year awards whilst romping to the title? It's a big step up for all of them, as it was when most of them first joined.
davieG Posted 10 December 2014 Posted 10 December 2014 Maybe he couldn't sign any better players because they didn’t fancy/know who lcfc were after all we've been out of the top flight for a long time and foreign players in their prime certainly wouldn't have a clue who we were. I think plenty on here are somewhat deluded about who we should or could have signed you only have to look at the transfer forum to see that.

seenitall Posted 10 December 2014 Posted 10 December 2014 We're pretty much pointless with him over the last few weeks
foxfanazer Posted 10 December 2014 Posted 10 December 2014 I think a lot of us felt that these players would be able to make the step up. Still undecided as to whether they can or not but they can certainly do better than they have been recently. Confidence is rock bottom so we need that one good result (like Newcastle had against us) to kick start are season off again
L1wazza Posted 10 December 2014 Posted 10 December 2014 the players are good enough which was seen at the start of the season, its the manager whos not made the step up.

Stadt Posted 11 December 2014 Posted 11 December 2014 I think if we got rid we'd be more likely to go down, Pearson knows this squad and he's knows where he needs to improve it. If we went down with another manager we'd probably struggle in the championship and sack the manager and make a Pearson type signing anyway.
Kinowe Soorie Posted 11 December 2014 Posted 11 December 2014 I'm already hoping for a miracle for this season. But I would definitely back NP to bring us straight back up even stronger!
Fox Ulike Posted 11 December 2014 Posted 11 December 2014 Here’s some Title suggestions for the next 10 threads about this: Pearson: go or stay? Pearson : Should he go? Should Pearson remain or leave? Pearson. Is he going? Will Pearson stay? Should we stick with Pearson? What I think of Pearson What do you think of Pearson. Poll. Pearson. Should he abnegate his roll as Manager? Why Pearson must relinquish the reigns. That should keep us all going for a couple of days at least.
Bettsj2 Posted 11 December 2014 Posted 11 December 2014 We're pretty much pointless with him over the last few weeks Exactly. Pearson trying to run the roost using Gunpowder Diplomacy tactics isnt serving us whatsoever.
Ian S Posted 11 December 2014 Posted 11 December 2014 Don't agree that the players aren't good enough. People have been passing it off as fact for weeks now, I've had enough of people telling me "we just need to accept it." No. No we don't. I think we're playing well below ourselves and expect performances to improve at some point. Agreed, and I think we are being harsh on the likes of Drinkwater in particular as how many opportunities has he had to start in his favoured position and James also as needs reuniting with Drinkwater.Ultimately Nugent was always going to be a back up but I certainly thought Vardy would be having a bigger impact.
yorkie1999 Posted 11 December 2014 Posted 11 December 2014 I just can't see the point of all these Pearson threads, what did everyone expect, a shed load of new players at the start of the season or something. Its fairly obvious that a lot of our players a struggling in the prem, but what was the manager supposed to do. He couldn't really sign anyone till january because he had to give them a chance and he couldn't really say to them "we'll you've broke countless records and stormed the championship, now fvck off". At least the players now know their limitations and can't really blame Pearson if he has to let a few of them go, and also they are more valuable as championship player because of the contracts they've been tied down to, and the wage cap means that other clubs can afford their wages.

Bettsj2 Posted 11 December 2014 Posted 11 December 2014 What a breath of fresh air you are. Unfortunately true though.
cc_star Posted 11 December 2014 Posted 11 December 2014 Tactics aren't right for the league Players have proved they aren't good enough to play 442 in the top flight, they haven't proved they aren't good enough for the top flight itself. Pack the midfield, become more difficult to beat, play on the counter more effectively and grind some results out & as the confidence returns to individuals then try to impose our game more
