Shearer talking shite


BiG said:
Alan Shearers opinion on the playoff final is as valid as anyone else’s. His natural bias is probably balanced by the fact he’s an ex professional footballer and is now paid to express his opinion based on years of experience.

And he’s only saying what a lot of other people are saying.

Maybe it’s time to be magnanimous in victory and lose a bit of the sensitivity to perceived criticism. Because if one doesn’t, next season is going to be pretty tough, emotionally.

was more annoyed by the narrative put on both coventry games by many. As if Coventry’s so called ‘domination’ was down to massive superiority. As if counter-attacking football isn’t a thing. suck ‘em in and hit them on the break. maybe the obsession with Pep-ball has made people forget it’s not the only way. Mourinho used the tactic effectively in big matches with Chelsea. Martin O’Neil’s Villa too.

To be fair it’s not an outlandish statement to make. We ground out a great result but we were on the back foot for 75 mins.

Bloke’s still a **** like.

“Back foot for 75 mins”

Shots Sheff Utd 7-9 SAFC

On target 4-3

Touches in box 15-13

Corners 1-6

Possession 42.7-57.3 %

We were shite for 45 mins, but no way we were on the back foot until we scored.

This. I'm yet to actually hear much positivity towards us since Saturday. More about Sheff Utd and how disappointed they must be to lose the game. We dominated the second half. I was there, and the stats back this up. Weird. Fuck the lot of them.
 
Shearer.....

Reminds me of the ( probably apocryphal ) story of when Roy Keane was our manager and looking for a NE home.

Shearer jokingly said to him " I'm selling my house, you could buy it. "

Roy's response.. " But if I did, I'd have to build a room for the trophies I've won. "

Surely you can name all the saves Patterson made then if we had been dominated for 75 mins. Apart from the header in the 1st minute and a block with his legs after cirkins mistake he didn’t have another thing to do
