Few points.
The fickleness of football fans was proven by two events on Saturday afternoon. The Kean Out chants at Blackburn which vanished when Rovers were in the lead yet they were loud when level. The folk below me were rather similar in the City end; at 1-1 we were excellent yet at 2-1 down, we were a shambles. Pearson was also an idiot for allowing Moore to play on (we had all three subs used) according to this fart arse.
Any criticism of Pearson is misguided. He did his job. Tactically beat Kean, we won the midfield battle (over well accomplished players in Murphy and Etuhu) and largely dicidated the pace of the game. Instead Nugent missed a two year header, Konchesky lost possession with an easy pass available, Danns and Morgan made rash tackles. All four of those moments were down to wrong decisions made in the players brain. You could say that's Pearson fault for playing those players but those are basics, basics you expect from a professional footballer. I don't think Robbie Neilson gave away the ball that easy.
Defenders or the lack of them. A lot has been said about Pearson's inability to sign a defender. Cos after all which player in the right mind would join a club with three experienced centre-backs in August (when there's still a chance for you to play at your club or injuries). You might be able to sign a young lad from one of the top clubs but why? When you have your own in Moore who other than a 45 minute spell this season looks good enough.
Finally, the talk about Pearson have a number of games till being sacked is daft. What's the point in once again spending a few bob in compensation sacking Pearson and then more money in hiring a replacement. Then even more money in re-hauling a squad again. We should give him the season (failing ultimate disaster (threat of relegation) or an unhappy camp in then hire within the club), he delivers or we have a decent season, then persist. It's time the owners took responsibility for the constant changes but to me it appears they are a little clueless.
