Elliottman Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 He promised attacking football and I have rarely seen a team sit as deep at home. The news is that West Ham beat Arsenal comfortably by attacking them and then Liverpool by attacking them. McLaren is as s*** scared as Pardew was to attack teams ... even before the sending off we had set the pattern... if this continues we will lose an awful lot of games by defending a 0-0 'lead' Not a wind up this we have the personnel to attack teams but not it seems the managerial instruction. 4 games in and absolute s*** as usual from a gutless manager in charge of a half decent squad. Very very disappointed ... promised the earth and is delivering dross... passing team?... f**k off everybody has out-possessed us so far Southampton Swansea ManU Arsenal dreadful approach unconvincing appointment... already thinking of how it may have been under Laudrup for instance Put down the fosters, that 4.1% is no good for you.

The College Dropout Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Haven't had a shot on target or created a clear cut chances in 2 league games which is worrying. Haven't looked like scoring seriously since the first league game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Stick with Cisse and get wide and we will create chances and score some goals, but it may be to the detriment of our football/play. Regardless its going to take 6 months maybe to establish a style/game plan and what works best for us RE the players we have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Think a few are being harsh. So we had less possession than all of the teams mentioned? Southampton, Swansea, Man United and Arsenal for fuck sake, could understand if it was Villa, Sunderland and the like. We have been down to ten in two of the games and it has obviously fucked any game plan we had up. Give the bloke a chance,we are for games in and whilst we haven't set the world alight we haven't been anywhere near as dross as we were most of the last three seasons. Hopefully we can show more in our next few fixtures and get a few wins under our belts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I'll make my decision on him once the He's Not Pardew Honeymoon Period wears off. I've never liked him as a manager, I'll keep an open mind, the jury's still out for me and probably will be for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Only the Thauvin situation was a clear cut chance. And that was last minute when the other team was pouring forward to score. Mitro and Perez are half chances man. It would take something from the top drawer for us to score from those situations. Half chance. We've created very little since Southampton. That's a problem IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 How can we not look like scoring when Mitrovic hit the bar And thauvin was a toe away from scoring. Amazing how stupid some people are. Or that shot Ayoze had that just went wide versus Man Utd. Apart from all of those chances we haven't looked like scoring though. The fact he's managed to get a back four that was a complete fucking shambles for at least 18 months, probably more, well drilled enough in a few months to go to OT and play 70 minutes against Arsenal with ten men and only concede one heavily deflected goal is a minor fucking miracle. We're not the finished article by any means but there are genuine signs if progress. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Statistically its been a poor start for him but it really is a case of the statistics are lying. Not only about the football and the organisation, but the attitude and the professionalism off the park, its all adding up. I really do think his bad experiences have played a part in what we are seeing already, and im sure with the right support from the board he can make us respectable again. SJP is a totally different place right now, i feel it calling me back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Nobody is f***ing denying or mentioning the other teams chances man.

Altamullan Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 You know what, there's some good context in the last posts. Played against two of best teams. Ten men against one. Conceded 1 goal...

That's a problem IMO. Think you need to look at the bigger picture here. It's quite obvious McLaren is building from the back. Make us harder to beat by being organised so everyone knows their jobs defensively. Once that sinks in throughout the squad, then we can work on pushing forward more. I would have my concerns if after 15 games we hadn't scored many though. It was never going to happen overnight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
