I sat in a pub on the habour in Eyemouth last night in a pool competition and watched the game along with everyone.
Even the locals were saying you couldn't tell the 2 sides apart and which one were the EPL side.
Is it the players? Are they not good enough? I think on paper we have a good strong team.
So, if the players ARE good enough, why are we not playing well? Is it because they are played out of position, is TP style not suitable to the players or are the players just, so cheesed off with whats going on that they are drained of passion or just cant be bothered? Could be a little bit of all those factors.
So that leaves 2 other factors TP & JP.
Is TP really that bad? His style of play at Stoke was classic TP but, Stoke had better success at it than we are doing. it might have been boring but they are a better / more established EPL side than we are - they are certainly mid table year on. His style at Palace was nice to watch, some say it wasnt his team but even with that he managed to get them playing nicely.
JP, possible from a stability, money / structure is the best man for the job. But soooooo frustraiting. Are the papers and media correct and there is friction between JP and TP? In the past if that were true TP would of been out months ago.
So, on paper we have a GOOD team, we have a manager that has a reputation of playing boring styles (except Palace) but stats show to be very STABLE and finally we have a chairman who is regarded to be one of the best with money (some would say a tight wad) and has made the club financially STABLE (i which he could look after my £20).
That leaves us with 1 GOOD & 2 STABLES - we must be living the dream of the EPL then.
