Jayson Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 A team that just lost 5 something in its last away game, sitting 19th in the league is forgivable for being pretty defensive tbh. The likes of West Brom, Palace and Watford have more points than us. A professional 0-0 would've been a decent result imo. Or you look at the details of why you conceded 5 and hold true to your philosophy of attacking the opposition. We played a highline, made defensive mistakes and he learn Coloccini couldnt outrun a goldfish. Great. Now you're playing Jonathan Walters, you have Lascelles coming in & an actual LB again. But fine sack off the high line. Mitrovic & Wijnaldum run about putting no pressure on any dickhead, why not try something different there? Hey they have two cb's, you could play two forwards instead of a withdrawn attacker. Get them to both run at the cb's cutting off short passes. Get your wingers to close down options to the fullbacks. Maybe that wont work. Then try something else & stick to your attacking philosophy. Do anything other than sitting back and conceding possession endlessly. You're far less likely to score yourself & far more likely to concede & wear yourselves out. Its moronic nonsense.

Heake Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 We`re second bottom of the league man, second only to one of the worst sides in premier league history. this "play for a draw & try & snatch a winner" tactics clearly isn't working FFS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 If you are going to set up defensively away from home, then at least give yourself an outlet to break quickly. Was Aarons injured? Or does McClaren genuinely think he's a left back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 He's fucking terrible, got pretty much everything wrong from the moment he walked in the door. I Ashley has Charnley killed for this when we get relegated. Slowly tortured and killed. I'd rather have seen us take a chance on a total gamble and made him play the youth team than watch McClaren fumble through this shitbox of a season with all the money they've thrown at him.

BlueStar Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Surviving relegation is all about picking up enough points. Clean sheets guarantees points. We've had like two clean sheets in our last 16 games and two nil-nil draws all season. Hoping to keep a clean sheet and pick up a point that way with this defence is insane. If we don't score, we're not getting any points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Assuming he was to go after this weekend, which he should regardless of the result, can anyone name a serious and competent replacement that they think would be willing to come in for 11 games and risk a relegation on his CV?

I think having nobody would be an improvement, as it stands the players are discouraged by him IMO. Actively not performing for the USELESS BASTARD.

M4 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Still can barely believe what happened last night. Not so much that we lost, but the way we did and we set up. All of McClaren's spiel is about doing the right things, setting things up properly so that over a large enough sample of games we'd do alright. Which is exactly what you have to do in the situation we are in. However in effect it's the complete opposite and McClaren's making noises. We're setting out weirdly and managing changes horrifically. Proof of that is that even the one good result against West Brom was jeopardised by the game management. Bad times.

mozy Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Brilliant is a bit strong, I thought he'd be a significant upgrade on the shite we'd had for the past 4 years based on what he achieved with Twente / Derby. Turns out he's been shite, fair enough. Maybe everyone who 'apparently' called it from the strong can go and throw a party, congratulations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
