That's because he doesn't do teams, just a philosophy (sh-t) and tactics ( more sh-t). Oh a there's a plan, fail to plan and you plan to fail. Is that what's wrong?

It's more than I saw in 2005/06. A 600 mile round trip for every home game and the only one I missed was the re-arranged game with Fulham. Kids these days don't know how lucky they are.

He's tried every striker...they continue to miss sitters.
He's tried all kinds of midfield combos and they still can't keep the ball...or create a lick.
The back 4 are injured usually and not consistent.
The only constant is Pantilimon the goalkeep
If Fletcher, Jozy, Wickham or Graham could just put away their sitters, we'd be 11th or 12th...that's just unacceptable from Prem League players!! Wickham's missed header was harder to miss the net than make it...and Fletcher and Jozy's, I bet half the Stadium puts them away!!
We are not a side that can give up those missed chances!
Of course! In all competitions we're 2-7-5 at home this season. Five of the draws and three of the losses were to top half teams. We've also lost to Stoke in the CC and Hull in the PL and we've drawn with Everton in the PL and Fulham in the FA. You could argue that we should have drawn or won some of those four games but then you'd have to concede that we probably should have lost to Chelsea, Spurs and ManU.
We may have not won often at home but a lot of top teams have found us hard to beat at home and that bodes well for the comparatively easy home schedule to finish out the season.

as long as the draws are turned into wins i agree

I've just spoken to Steve Bruce, he said that he wished Hull could play us every week!
2-7-5, I thought you could only have 11 players on the pitch at any one time.

We have alot of the top teams away from home aswell by the way. We need points from them.

We could be if we actually played in a way to create more in games but we are not, we defend for for far too much of so many games.
What you are wanting is strikers to hit the net with just about the only chances they get in a match.
Not even the best of the best do that.
For a period of time, we had ManC's number. And now we have the Mags'. It happens in sports, it's just unfortunate that our nemesis happens to be Bruce otherwise people would make less of it.

Great shout OP.. I was thinking similar recently.
If someone said 4 years ago we'd have Adam Johnson people would think you mad..never mind the other players!

We might have just said "no thanks". Gyan, Henderson, Mig, Sess, Muntari were all here, alongside Mensah, Welbeck, Cattermole, Gordon and Malbranque, with Colback just coming through given we'd have known most of those would be over 32, that Rodwell hadn't lived up to his youth reputation and not known who the Italian international and Argentine was, given we already had one Argentinian international (Angeleri) on the books who made about as much impact as Alvarez and also didn't know how Muntari and Gyan would pan out. We also wouldn't know how we approached games.

No...I want strikers to hit the net with chances my wife could put away...
Does the team create enough? No fuckin way!! But missing sitters like the ones we miss is like scoring for the other side!!
I agree, we are way to willing to defend...but I don't believe for one minute, Poyet is instructing them to back up to the 18 and let teams pass the ball around...if he is then he should have his ass kicked!! Jermaine Defoe is the only player on this team with an offensive mind set, I'll add in Johnson as well...the rest are grinders that will muck it up and put a tackle in...they just don't know how to create a goal! It's like a team full of DM's...unbalanced as fuck!!

Watching them I can't help thinking that they really don't want to go near the opponents goal. Somewhat like a set of small children, looking up a dark hill they have climb......

Imagine if they said we'd buy two players from Brighton.
