Dear Mr Poyet, If as you say you are at a loss to explain the problem with Sunderland then I would suggest that you are not the man for the job. We need a manager who can sort this out and not someone who criticises the fans and advocates a passing game. As was aptly demonstrated last night this team couldnt pass wind let alone a football.
Any links to what he's meant to have said? Only seen what's on BBC post match video report and there's nowt about "don't know what to do" and "critical of fans" craic in that. Will reserve judgement until I've seen the interview quotes. Crap performance all round; Gomez let us down big style but whole team were poor, BUT if Rob Green hadn't had a great game we win that one. Worried we've been pulled back in to it!
Needs to man up and man up quick before somebody gets a pair of tweezers and pokes the ****ers eyes out
He's in complete denial about his management limitations, his self righteous views of all things Gus are just cock on tells me shows it's his own psychological block preventing him from sorting out this mess. He's a bigger nutter than PDC and I'm being serious. At least Paolo was built around a high standard of strict work ethic which I personally always admired. Poyet is just a backwards, egotistical arsehole and would probably needs years of cognitive therapy to change the way he thinks and acts. He need to go. He won't change. I understand why Paolo had to go though not really wanting him sacked. But Paolo was sacked for way worse than this. Poyet is turning this club into one man and his ego. Turning us into a laughing stock.
I'd hoped we were paying all this money for someone to explain the problem ......... that's your job Gus. Can you explain why we came out waving white flags, at home, to a decimated side that probably won't win away again this season?
He thinks his quirky ways make him another Mourinho .... di Canio saw things twice as quickly as Poyet which the players knew was a problem for them. All of the stories of his 'insanity' came from the same players who let us all down yesterday.
I don't think I'll ever understand why he changed the dynamics of a team that was in the best form of all season. I haven't got much to say either. I still think that he's the man for the job, despite last nights car crash. We need to be careful with knee jerk reactions, it was one game after a good run of many. He does need to learning from his mistakes and quickly, I do agree with that.
Last night was an embarrassment! Two of the best players against Swansea were Graham and Alvarez. Danny Graham couldn't even get on last night even though we were 2-down and desperately needing something up front! Gomez, once again, was selected before Alvarez. I have seen many poor performances in my many years supporting SAFC but Gomez against QPR must surely be the worst! He couldn't make a pass, was slow from the start, was frequently out of position and left PVA totally exposed down the wing. How he stayed on for 45 minutes was beyond me! Finally, in Bridcutt we have a player who, sadly, just isn't good enough. He covers a lot of ground (half of it going backwards and forwards to Poyet to get his next set of instructions!) but lacks ability. He must be coached that it is possible to pass the ball forward - it doesn't have to go sideways or back and he can make defence splitting passes (we live in hope!!). Bradford on Sunday will be a different challenge and no doubt Poyet will be ready to blame the awful playing surface at Valley Parade which will negate his wonderful passing game tactics! I bet Jon Stead and Billy Knott can't wait. Then it will be West Brom who Tony Pulis will have very well organised and hard to break down. What excuses will Poyet have for this one...............
Could Gus not see that we did not win a 50/50 ball all the first half and were always second to the loose ball. Surely he must understand that to pass the ball you have to have the ball and to win the ball you must be quicker than your opponent, tackle harder or have better positional play. Most of our squad are not blessed with lightening pace, tackle like fairies and have the positional sense of a snowman in the Sahara desert. All the crowd wanted last night was to see the culprits at least show a modicum of effort and attempt to show the opponents that they were on the pitch.
