Probably down to the Premier League not really being up to much.

Probably but that's what we are competing in. So is all that matters really.

It's a fairly difficult start to interpret since you can play more home games than away games in any year long period, or vice versa.

Of course, was just talking in general terms. I think he deserves more time as 95% of our fans will. Was just making a point of him doing okay.

Can only be a good thing for us, it means you can be pretty awful and be alright.

Not always that simple like. We lost a fair few players. Alonso, borini, ki etc.

Essentially international players some of them. Could say borini, ki, bardsley, dossena were international players.

Every fucker was happy with the squad up until a few hours ago.

I disagree mate, plenty been saying since august that we were short. Alvarez and giaccherini being out has fucked us for options long term.

Leaving ourselves with 6 defenders is nothing less than a joke. Coates is a crock too. We only have one player capable of playing left back.

We still haven't addressed the pace problem we have.

Course he does. Anyone wanting him sacked after today is a gonk.

All I'm saying is it's no way to judge anyone. What worries me more than anything is the complete abandonment of his way of playing this season. It's absolutely disappeared.

We also had a fair bit of luck last season. Even when we went on a run last year, we were not creating chances regularly.

That's been our problem for years, I've always put it down to negative tactics from managers, that still remains.
Only difference with Gus being we create little but have more possession, wonderful.

Meaningless possession is one of the most overrated things in football. Especially when we don't have the most technically skilled players on the balls and one errant pass sets up the other team on the counter. It's not like we really have the movement to beat a set defence with Gus' tactics anyway so I don't understand if the extra possession is really that much of a positive.

I would say when you have the ball the opposition can't score but that's not even true.

'What a goal by Vergini'. :lol:
 
Marking the space instead of the man is fine when trying to keep your shape but when one pass is regularly taking 3 or 4 of your players out of the game then something's gone amiss and needs addressing fast.

My personal opinion is that it's nothing new at all. He was telling us in no uncertain terms all summer that he wasn't happy with the recruitment. He told us numerous times that we were going to be left short.

Why should he be the only one taking criticism when a squad he told us all plainly wasn't big enough or good enough gets a battering?

He shouldn't be the only one taking criticism but there should definitely be questions asked.

Like why are 2 of our most expensive players sitting on the bench with Poyet unable to get a tune out of them?

Or if Poyet knew how short we were, why did he sign a player known to be injury prone as our defensive cover?

Or how about, given the terrible signings of Bridcutt and Scocco which Poyet definitely had an input in, why does he think he can question anybody else's transfer record?

Or finally, why the fuck did he sign 2 contracts to work under a director of football only to publically complain about it when we lose?
