******* shambles we are

We really are a poor poor side.

Indeed. The SC era feels like a lifetime ago for me!

And then proceeded to waste all of the dough we did actually make on him.. ah well ?

Lampard’s career as a manager feels like it is more a less over before it has even started.. That’s what you get for taking the wrong jobs at the wrong time in your career. Should never have gone to Chelsea and should never have gone to Everton.

I also would like to think i have that same thought process of ‘‘i would back any City manager’’ but I’m sorry i would struggle massively to back LJ if he ever came back.

Great photos @Never to the dark side ? What a tin pot little stadium dean court is though!

I’ve said this a million times before but Pearson (or somebody of his stature) should have been brought in after the 18/19 season. Instead we allowed dumb and dumber a blank cheque book and we now find ourselves in the mess that we are now with no money expecting miracles to be worked by Pearson with a squad that is absolutely pony. Pearson needs time and money, I genuinely don’t think any other manager (that we could realistically attract) could do any better with this squad and the financial straight jacket that he has to work with. It’s a pretty dire situation that Lansdown his boy and the rest of the board have allowed to happen.

******* **** defending

You are very naive if you think international football is about playing scintillating attacking football EVERY game. The Germans and the Italian’s have for years shown us that to be a successful team on the international stage it sometimes is about grinding out results when it matters.. I think i have lost count of the amount of tournaments i have seen Germany play bang average in yet get to a Semi-final or Final.. finally we seem to be mastering that art and i am absolutely over the moon with seeing England actually turning up in tournaments for the first time in my life time. I can quite easily see us getting to the later stages of the WC again this year - don’t think i have ever felt confidence like that under any previous England manager..! A semi-final and a final for me shows what a fantastic job Southgate has done, can you remember just how bad Euro 2016 was under Hodgson? Some people need a reality check.

I’m a huge fan of seeing our young players abroad to be honest - what Tammy is doing in the Serie A is fantastic. The more players we have experiencing a different brand of football on the continent can only benefit the national team positively IMO. A move to Barca or Real would be fantastic for Bellingham instead of the predictable move to the Prem..

I got rid of it years ago. Jailbroken amazon firestick is the way to go ?

Or another top club in Europe could come calling..

Massive congratulations to him, fully deserved ?

More than frustrating when it happens almost every week though isn’t it. A fundamental problem that clearly Pearson nor the rest of his coaching staff can sort out.

Laughable

**** right off

******* joke

Fantastic finish Nahki!

Opportunity for Wells to get almost a full 90mins - time to actually make an impact for once Nahki!!

Enjoyable game for the neutral to be fair! Everton still in big trouble for me though - horrendous run in.

A good bit of business by the club. Decent player at this level when rotated and used correctly. The forward line as we all know isn’t the issue and if we can possibly keep Semenyo in the summer I don’t actually think its a deal breaker if we don’t bring another forward in on a permanent deal. It’s the defence that needs the money (if there is any) in the summer spent on it.

I agree. To not have been able to shore us up at the back is for me the huge worry. Forget the nice expansive pretty football all most of us wanted this season was a team that was hard to beat and a team that didn’t let in soft goals. Those two we conceded last night were border line a disgrace and Pearson as you said as an ex defender should hang his head.

The scary thing is i think the trio of Holden and the other two numpties he had as assistants actually had us slightly more organised at the back..

Im really starting to wonder if it is ALL down to the players. Im genuinely of the opinion that another manager would probably get a bit more out of them and would probably shore us up at the back a bit at the very least.
