When is kick off?
Seven minutes ago on ESPN Classic.
Of course, one of the few ESPN channels that doesn't have an HD option. To add insult to injury, MLB is on ESPN and it's blacked out for me because they are playing the Rays.
Considering the managers we've had during Xisco's time I'm not sure I'd trust any of their judgments (except perhaps Keegan but to be fair, Xisco was one of the rumored transfers that went above Keegan's head so he was probably being quite spiteful).
Nah not really. I expect him to get simple short passes right 75% of the time. Too much to ask?
So you think he misplaces more than a quarter of his short passes?
Well slight exaggeration there but he does misplace worryingly many.
You must really be watching a different match. He misplaces a few but no where near as many as other players do. A lot of time when his pass is "misplaced" as well is when he plays a short pass and the midfiedler/forward refuses to drop back to get the pass and it gets cut off - hardly his fault most of the time. His vision is far better than most in the squad.
Shearer needs to go be an assistant elsewhere and learn the trade on a more day-to-day basis. He needs to suck his ego up and learn from a good manager.
I don't necessarily want Shearer as our manager but now that he's had a taste so-to-speak, most fans will want him in full time for one reason or another. I'd rather he get the job now that we're in the Championship and even if he does suck as a manager we can still relatively walk the league and hope that he learns from the mistake he will undoubtedly make over the course of this season. He'd be out in the first six months of us being in the Prem but at leas the Shearer cloud would no longer reign over NUFC.
