Genuinely worried that the suspension/injury situation will be used as an excuse for the results and they'll "back their man this summer". Clear for all too see how shit he is and I think results would be the same regardless.

 

Aye, you can sense the bar being steadily lowered:

 

-Top 10 finish and the job is his

-OK, top 12 will do

-We've had injuries, top 14 is alright

-Sod it, there was a decent 45 minutes against Arsenal, sign here John...

The Spaniard had been dropped by Carver before being reinstated into the starting XI.

Carver said: “The proof is in the pudding, and I’ll guarantee you his physical stats will be fantastic when we get in on Monday.

:lol:

Please tell me that isn't a real quote.

Is he just making s*** up now? Just checked Arsenal v Newcastle between 2000 & 2004 when Carver was assistant and Pires was there.

 

2000-1 - Pires played full 90.

2001-2 - Pires played full 90.

2001-2 - serious knee injury sustained in a challenge from Dabizas

2002-3 - Pires came on as a sub.

2003-4 - Pires came on as a sub.

 

Unless in 2003-4 he came off the bench then went back off leaving Arsenal with 10 men.

http://www.11v11.com/matches/newcastle-united-v-arsenal-11-april-2004-19694/  this seems to show him coming on a sub and staying on  but following season subbed on 84 minutes http://www.11v11.com/matches/arsenal-v-newcastle-united-14-august-2005-220675/

 

Carver said it was at Highbury, and he wasn't at the club in 2005.

 

Clearly he was referring to 2001/2002

“His was another outstanding performance.

 

“He was very unfortunate with a couple of chances, in particular the one that just went past the post, but I thought he was outstanding.”

Stats seem to be what average managers use to replace their complete lack of knowledge.

 

It's a nonsense argument that you'd expect to tell a child to console them. "It's ok that you failed because the stats say you tried really hard".

This isn't a defe8nce of Carver but what would Guardiola, Mourinho or Klopp do with someone like Mike Williamson? Starting to wonder if all managers are pretty s****.

 

Sbr had to work with o'brien, bramble, dabizas, hughes and a young berard.  Qualified for the champs league and narrowly missed out a third time.  Yes ee had woodgate but he didnt play all the time.  A good coach can organise what they have and make average players work as a unit.

Awful.  Simply awful.  There is no sugar coating this mess.  However, the finances are looking solid.

It will look like there is a truncheon in your trousers when you see that P/L column though. Howay the finances.

I'm sure they would have him looking like a solid if unspectacular Premier League level defender.

 

Look at how Terry has gone from a slow, tired and washed up old man preparing for the MLS on the Chelsea bench back to being gone of the top centrebacks in the league under Mourinho.

That's why he always licks his lips, he's always thinking about eating puddings, that'll also be why his teeth are the same colour as freshly cut grass.

Think last season was a bit disappointing? We're 11 points worse off at this stage compared to last year. Carver's 2 wins in 3 months hasn't exactly helped. 

 

This time last season was when we went on that run of 6 straight losses, scoring once.
