He kept us up with his goals at the back end of 12-13 and was brilliant from early October ('14) onwards this season. In other words it's more like 1 season he was poor, not 2 years.
Not sure what any of that's got to do with Ben Arfa, like. Bellamy absolutely worked his bollocks off. Robert was undroppable because he was so fucking good in terms of scoring goals, making them and driving the team forward on the counter.
McClaren's style isn't pretty either (by anyone's definition) and he won the League Cup and the Eredivise. So what?
Again: How is Pulis better than McClaren?
Coz hees betta at managen footbal teems in the Premya Leeg.
It goes much further than not tracking back with Hatem, though. I personally couldn't care less about him neglecting defensive duties. Not what he's there for.
There's little hate from what I've seen. People just recognize that he's a 5/10 manager and we can do better. We very nearly did do better in January with Garde when we were barely trying.
Cisse evidently gets zero support on the pitch or off it yet somehow manages to be the deadliest striker in the league when playing. He deserves the smallest portion of blame for this farce.
Well this is a daft opinion too. Just because we'd be much better with him in the side doesn't mean he should have immunity from criticism. He deserves plenty of criticism for the way his career turned out.
