Tyler Durden Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I don't understand how people can knock Megson today. People have made up their minds, any possible stick with which to beat Megson will be grasped, no matter how slender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bolty58 Posted November 15, 2008 Members Share Posted November 15, 2008 Liverpool won 1 of the 6 league games at Bolton while Allardyce was managing. Liverpool have won 2 of the 2 league games at Bolton while Megson has been managing. Perhaps the difference was that Allardyce tried to beat them whereas Megson is happy to try and stop them scoring? George - I was thinking exactly the same whilst watching the game. ''Just think, under Allardyce I would have expectations of winning this game and now I'll be happy with a low scoring defeat" Unimaginative and uninspiring.

gaz_jones Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) I know we werent expected to win, but surely at 2 nil down, given the way we were playing, you should be bringing some attacking options on, bringing smolarek on on 85 mins isnt going to cause an impact.... Stiles was poor and let us down again, but at least ricky put a good shift in. hes never been a natural finisher, but at least he shows heart..... Megson out, I dont know, he needs to pick a formation such as 442 and stick to it in my opinion. I dont think he is the man for the job, but he did the job we needed last season by keeping us in the league... Long term solution, get browny in.... JUST MY OPINION - YOU ARE WELCOME TO SLATE IT...

Traf Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I don't think Megson got too much wrong today, personally. The Elmander/Gardner selection issue is the most debatable, I suppose. Muamba was sacrificed for a man marking job on arguably the best central midfielder in the country. Steven Gerrard can destroy teams better than us single handedly. It might seem a negative tactic, but it was done to ensure we weren't 3 down before half time. As a result, Gerrard had little/no influence on the first half hour, then we conceded a soft goal: a free header: a very well placed header, but still a free header. The second goal was a soft one too: AOB had 3 opportunities to get rid, but failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 so why did we get hammered numerous times v united? We also had some of our most memorable wins against the filthy f?ckers under Allardyce, unless my memory is failing me. I suppose once you have the pro Megson blinkers on it is easier to remember BSA's bad results? Remember one thing, my skippy whistling friend, you would never have had the opportunity to whistle that tune to me in Sofia, Skopje and Prague if it wasn't for Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Special One Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 megson got found out today just proves city and hull were flukes my scouse mate rang me as the second half kicked off and couldn't believe muamba was off leaving gerrard with a free role, which he clearly dominated the 2nd half after being nowhere in the first megson out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefinfrandsen Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Lets blame Megson for everything should we,for fcks sake give the bloke a chance & stop all this negative posting! I have not got a problem with megson , he is probably a decent bloke. The bottom line is that he should not have got the job in the first place, when bsa left gartside should have trawled the world looking for the right man, with the chairmans contacts in the fa and boltons standing in the premier league we would have found that person. we all know it was down to finance and he went for the cheaper option, but its not worked, megson deserves praise for keeping us up, but thats where mistake number two was made, he had to be sacked in the summer. pg had the chance to put it right seventeen months ago and he has the chance now, do it before its to late.

Remember one thing, my skippy whistling friend, you would never have had the opportunity to whistle that tune to me in Sofia, Skopje and Prague if it wasn't for Sam not starting with ricky was wrong everyone knows that i think the problem megson has is thta he finds it hard to drop his own signings after making such a big deal of getting his own players in. if we play 4 4 2 we play the team from second half yesterday so no muamba if we play 4 5 1 no place for elmander. elmander i think will come good but he aint going to do it playing left side of midfield against one of the best teams in europe. a lot of good things from yesterdays game includig the fact we have a plan b, but people defending megson but ignoring the bollosk he dropped are blinkered. equally the other slating him when he did change things and the team certainly started second half as though his words had made a difference are just as bad. basically you are a bunch of dickheads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burndens Bogs Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I don't think Megson got too much wrong today, personally. I agree, apart from maybe play Gardner from the start like you said - and maybe bring Smolarek on earlier. I reckon a few folk are warming to Megson, and it would be interesting to see a poll on here along the lines of - a, Megson - Get behind him, get off his back b, Hate him,hound him out. It would be option a for me, but i'm too thick to put a poll on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M G WHITES Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) Was shocked to see 4-5-1 as our formation after the way we ripped city to bits when Gardner came on,should have gone for it and played 4-4-2. Bad decision again.Megson out? Last legs for me. Edited November 16, 2008 by M G WHITES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridger Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 we were the home team in a game we are very unlikely to win,i would rather have a right go and lose 3-0 than play not to lose for 45 mins and still lose 2-0 the managers safety first defensive mindset is one of the reasons many people don't go anymore,games against the big four should be traeted like cup ties we have nothing to lose. I cannot recall any of the famous cup upsets being built on playing safety first football. Ps i think we will pick up 4 points from our next 2 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Girl_Oral_Explosion Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I don't understand how people can knock Megson today. OK we lost but for me today was one of our better displays this season. I too was disappointed when I heard the team that Gardner was not playing. The thing is we were not out played in the first half. At half time, Megson saw this and put Gardner on to give us more width and speed on the left and it nearly came off. Perhaps Gardner was a bit naive in not going to ground after beating Reina and claiming a penalty. Thought we were well outplayed first half, they should have been 3-1 up. Second half gardner changed it somewhat but we are still so predictable in the last third. Elmander looks like a ?10 million pounds worth of donkey to me at the moment.

M G WHITES Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 without reading any replies, i suggest you fcuk off. megson did nothing wrong today. thanks. Now you know me i love our club and everthing about it butwhy did he not play 4-4-2 and start with Gardner We would have won imo. Very bad decision. Yes we lost to Liverpool and playing as we did in the second half we would have beaten a lesser side but 4-5-1 at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
