happy bunny Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 he's the only player we have who can shoot from outside the area, one of many failings we've had in our limited box of tricks as a striker he would at least offer a shot or two give him a go alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG D Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 TBH, even though I think he is poo I would play him against Palace. We might just hit on that 1 decent game in 15 where he produces something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web_owls Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 (edited) For me the way AI has used EE is simply shocking management,he is'nt consistant he in all honesty is pretty much a waste off space but over the last few months AI should have given him more time on the pitch.EE is going,BUT ai SHOULD HAVE FOUND A WAY OFF USING THE GUY TO BETTER EFFECT. True but I think AI's tactical limitations are beginning to show, he cannot adapt his tactics to best suit his players. How many times have we seen the ball banged up front for the centrehalf to head it back? Yet we do it over and over and over again.

owls66 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Surely EE will start against Palace. We need all the attackive options we can throw at them. F*ck playing defensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he will adapt his tactics to best suit his players when he actually has got the players in who will be his and can follow his instructions, This shower of S**t are not his players, how many more f**king times..

Couldn't agree more. The useless planks that he is working with are not the players he has brought in (exc. Nolan). I bet he can't wait for the season to finish so that he can get rid of the sh*te he is working with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor were they when Shreeves/Yorath/Sturrock/Laws took over. But they all made much better of it in similar circumstances. There is of course some mitigation for Irvine, but you're much too easily falling back on an easy excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 From the point he took his very well paid job, they became his players. We pay him to get the best out of those players. End of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web_owls Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Thats the whole point he only knows one way how to play so he needs the players that can play that way but he hasn't so rather than blunder on hitting balls, into the air that we might win 2 out of 10. He would have been better trying to fiigure out a better way to move the ball forward with the players he has got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont talk nonsence, in what way shape or form can they be his players, they are the players who were brought to the club by another Manager with different ideas, and he has got the best out of these Players probably more than anybody else could have got out of them. Truth is the best from this bunch of players is not good enough, simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of other managers have made a considerably better fist of it in similar circumstances. We've had no fewer than 4 of them in the last decade alone. How do you account for that? You're just falling back on a much too convenient excuse. Truth is the best from this bunch of players is not good enough, simple as that. They managed it comfortably enough last season.

SWayneFC Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I will never understand why irvine never put him on against pigs last sunday He tore them apart and scored an awesome freekick at lane ......I just think A.I has no idea what to do with the deflated bag of poo he has to choose from.

I agree, I think Esajas could've made a big difference if he came on, however, saying that he has underperformed many times this season when he has come on.

You fail to understand once again. AI likes to play direct football, most of our players are not suited to this kind of play. Due to numerous factors, not physical enough, fit enough etc. So instead of htting the ball up for the centrehalf to head, would it not be better to try and knock it long into the channels or atleast try something different. So until he can get the players in to play directly better, as in a centreforward who can win headers, we have to go with what we have. Which admitted is poo but something some slight variaiton would be good adn make the opposition think. It has **** all to do with playing attractive football. While attractive football can be a bonus when you are winning, the only thing fans really care about is winning. If all we need is win to stay up next week no-one will care if we string 500 passes together or go route 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innes Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 I agree, I think Esajas could've made a big difference if he came on, however, saying that he has underperformed many times this season when he has come on. Sorry, 5 starts isn't enough to judge. He's performed almost heroically in a few games he's come on as a sub. Showed grit and determination today, coupled with quality. If he has "underpeformed", then I shudder to think what three quarters of our starting 11 have performed like this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you're saying, I don't think he's been given enough oppotunities by Irvine and is certainly out of favour. He's one of them players - some games he's great, but usually he does not perform well. However, the same can be said for the rest, more so with many others.
