Then again I thought we'd batter the pigs so don't put any faith in what I think. Well aren't I happy to look stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I get paid a hell of a lot less than CC to spot these things. I think you get paid far too much pal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevan Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Quite unbelievable how two performances, 7 days apart could be so different. We did ride our luck in the first 15 - 20 minutes and Leeds looked poor at the back all afternoon. But we seemed much more creative going forward and hunted in packs further forward on the pitch to regain possession. That's exactly what we did in Carlos' first season, - so why didn't we continue throughout last season and so far this. If we can play like that every game, then maybe Carlos still has a future at Hillsborough, (and I am one of those who have been calling for him to go) - but it's so frustrating to consider how we've been playing for 15 months or so.

Can i just ask what you do for a job? Do you perform at a v high level all the time? Do you then get hounded by people who know sweet FA but think they are keyboard brian cloughs if you dont perform? Im just wondering were this unrealistic demanding attitude you have comes from? Where you believe you are owed good performances every week.. and then MAYBE he can keep his job. Lol. Do you realise what you sound like? Some of our fans are like spoilt brats. We should be.. i want.. we werent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be.. i want.. we werent... Sorry pal but you’re barking up the wrong tree there. It isn’t unreasonable to expect a decent performance out of the team every week and to expect the manager to be able to drag one out of the players, especially considering the quality at his disposal. Doesn’t matter what he or anyone else does for a job. People don’t pay thousands of pounds and travel hundreds of miles a year to watch me do my job, and I don’t earn £30,000+ per week. And if any of those things were happening then you’re damn right I’m putting more effort in. If I only turned in a couple of decent performances a month at work, I’d be sacked. .

We should be.. i want.. we werent... I've had several jobs over the years and yes, I do perform at a high level all the time. It's what is expected of me. And whilst my job isn't physically demanding, my pay is nowhere near what professional footballers are paid. To me, it's not unrealistic to expect the team to perform tactically and effort wise, much more like yesterday, than the previous Sunday. That is their job and Carols' job to set the team up in a way that ensures they at least perform at a competitive level. I'm NOT any kind of spoilt brat but last Sundays' performance (and many more over the last 15 months) have been lacking in approach and tempo. Yesterday was much better and should be the level at which the bar is set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be.. i want.. we werent... Yes, Alex Ferguson was a spoilt brat demanding the best from his team and making them consistently perform. As was Clough and no doubt Shankly and Paisley What a ridiculous comment. Teams can be relentless week in week out. As a spectator sport, their effort will be commented on and discussed openly Working on a lathe, or as a Salesperson or as a truck driver are examples of occupations that are not spectator sports and thus not subject to critique by the general public. This trend to somehow equate the desire for success with the want-it-now culture is lazy and nauseous I'm sure our cavemen ancestors just sat around all day and didn't want to advance - oh wait, that was probably the Neanderthals Edited October 2, 2017 by owlandished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can take a joke of course, but your comment came across as just a sarcastic dig. The subject of the thread is yesterday's performance, - why not just stick to that instead of making derisory comments about people when you don't have the facts.
