AndyinLiverpool Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 So much wailing and gnashing of teeth over the first run out of pre-season under a new manager. How the **** do some of you get through the day with so much worrying to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Well he put a team out that's never played together in a formation they don't play in for their first friendly against a good European level team and was surprised we looked poor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucko didn't get sent off, it wasn't a competitive game and he might have not done the same stumbling tackle in a competitive game, and if we all love Bucko as you have typed above then as your name suggests maybe you could type with an awful lot more love, his time is not up unfortunately, and as you've typed, you shouldn't look into pre season games like this. Bucko was not terrible, did you watch Pearce in the second half or did you still have your Bucko hating goggles still on, although that may be excused by the hatred bile some of our so called fans post on forums. Here's hoping Muckhatin has left this forum by the end of the day, never mind next week. Are you a Derby County Supporter?.......unfortunately Derby has far too many "McLovin" typing things (thousands of em) connected to the football club that some of us really love. There's only one Super Jake Buxton......... Buxton hating glasses? I love the bloke with passion and at his best I used to love his diagonal long range passing. It was a joy to watch. Pearce was awful too but Davenport specifically asked about Buxton, not Pearce. I was impressed with some of how some of our younger players did like Rawson and Elsnik. Everyone loves Buxton because of his passion but if it was Keogh who made the amount of errors that Bucko did last night he would have been slaughtered friendly or not.

Only nigel pearson will know how much the team worked on those formations and their positions in training so only he can say for sure how valid his surprise. Formations and fitness aside there were examples of poor basics at times and maybe he expects those as a minimum. I'm completely speculating of course but I wonder whether he gained more questions than answers last night. Interesting few weeks for sure....

bcnram Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Ladies & Gentlemen, Boys & Girls I have an announcement to make. That was the first pre-season friendly after being back a week. It doesn't matter a jot what the score was. At this stage it doesn't really matter how individual players played, it is just about getting some minutes football into them. No points at stake, no being dumped out of a cup, so those who are feeling traumatised by us losing why don't you sit down have a nice glass of milk and maybe a chocolate digestive, you will feel much better for it. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to go to specsavers because I said I'd rather lose to Benfica which would be valuable to see what needs to be worked on than smashing teams like Gateshead 6-0 where Pearson and the team would gain nothing. You're getting me mixed up with castleton ram. I didn't criticize us one bit in terms of the overall performance because Benfica are a top side and it will benefit the players having a tough game like that in order to help fitness. I only criticized Martin for getting in a needless scrap with Luisao but that was all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
