Indeed....****ing hell Pea Son

Zero enthusiasm to watch now. What a prize **** the man is. Schwarzer being his old buddy from 'boro and Wes, would both be dropped by any other manager based on previous performances. Its an old boys club which is getting older by the day.

Schwarzer and Morgan makes the starting 11 yet again.

Unbelievable, 5 at the back with Konchesky starting and no Hammond, De Laet or Albrighton on the bench, this is damage limitation yet again, far from going for it .....feel utterly underwhelmed with this selection and feel straight away we are going to surrender any impetus and sit back inviting Everton to have a go at us.

 

[Northants_Fox]

I'm a season ticket holder and yet I am not sure I can be arsed to watch the inevitable dire shite that we will be presented with.

Is Schwarzer secretly Nigel's dad or something?

There are so many questionable selection decisions. Hamer, Wasil, Albrighton, Ulloa, Hammond. He is a stubborn git for sure.

 

[Jeff]

We'll win this. 72-0 at least.

 

[SilverFox]

Schwarzer! Seriously.

Christ on a stick!!

 

[Jeff]

Schwarzer! Seriously.

Shit, I forgot.

We'll win this. 72-71 at least.

I know things have moved on since the 2-2 draw,but many thought Morgan was man of the match that day and the goalkeeper (young Schmchl) let in 2 goals - time for a return to form and a win now

The man is a prize twat...

After watching us at Arsenal on my recent visit from the States I have no issues with this formation - as long as we play with the quality and intensity shown at the Emirates...which we didn't show last week with basically the same team and tactics. What on earth has Albrighton done wrong not to get a place on the bench - clearly he has favorites which is a sign of bad management. I will give him one last chance - if the players don't perform today for the manager I am firmly in the Pearson out camp

Or, and bear with me as it's based on as little evidence as the "favourites" idea, Pearson sees the players all week, sees what they offer in a game without fan tinted glasses and makes a decision based on information from his coaches?

It's crazy I know, it's far more likely that a manager would deliberately sabotage a team just to play his favourites.

well he is not basing any decision on recent match day performances.

I never understand this argument. Just because he sees them in training doesn't mean he can't be wrong about them. His judgement has been all wrong this season. It's sad, but it is true. If we followed the 'he sees them every day' line of argument we'd never accept, ever, that a manager can be doing a bad job.

It's fishy in the least.

Morgan is the only one I don't really agree with but am not blind enough to dismiss the notion that he may offer leadership that we need.

Swarzer is a typical lower premier league goalkeeper. The spurs goalkeeper made a similar mistake to his when Schlupp scored in the cup, I bet most on here would sooner have him in goal. Fans are fickle, managers aren't.
