depends on the level of opposition, he couldnt beat the likes of Spain but would have a good chance v Moldova. If you havent got the players, then you change the tactics, I dont remember the U21's getting battered at any time.
So he did well against Moldova and poorly against Spain and somehow you think that one is down to the players not being good enough and the other is down to his tactics.
And you think other people are guilty of selective viewing?
BTW, City never got battered at home in the second half of the 06/07 season. Maybe not getting battered is something you can use to defend that as well, good luck.
you work with the tools you are provided with. He had a crap team in 06/07 also.
He was 1 kick away from guiding us into europe. Or was that a fluke?
That was Keegan's team and he didn't have a chance to Corradi it yet.
See? We can both play this game.

Dont forget the U21's had a good record and international football is completely different to club management, he has the credentials to do well at forest IMO.
the u21s got to one final and got hammered by Germany and then with a wealth of talent didnt win a game in 2013.
He has also had a shot with forest before when he was caretaker and it ultimately ended with them being relegated. bar half a season with us he has done fuck all in his managerial career except serve up absolute tosh football and talk like a bloke down the pub whos just taken over a team.
And if he signs Samaras it will show he never learns!
What about the U21's being unbeaten in qualifying? He has done some good, you are just selective in your view
unbeaten in qualifying and then going and not winning a match is not good enough for me. I watched a lot of their games and they were horrific.
Would that have been Pearces fault or the quality of players at his disposal when playing against better opposition.
Sorry man i blame Pearce! Israel and Norway arent heavy hitters! I like Pearce as a person but he is one of the worse managers out there for me.
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So it was also keegans team the next season with no money to overhaul it as KK spent it all.

Pearce was looking in bargain buckets not the top shelf

Pearce spent nearly £10M the following season, which was a lot for us at the time.

Sorry to break up your spat but I'm getting a hazy recollection of a cracking volleyed goal scored by Corradi after a flicked header from Sam Harris or maybe it was the other way around, did I dream this or can anyone else recall it? Think it might have been against Portsmouth.

He did score against Portsmouth, and two in one game against Fulham. A couple of sending offs and that was it.
Is there a thread for crap players who once scored a great goal, I can think of others. Indeed I did the same myself at school....

Gorgeous George, bet youtube player we have had.
Pearce made a profit as he had to or we would have gone under, his hands were very much tied and he had little room to manoeuvre in the transfer market. I think you are doing him a disservice

Gerry Creaney had a decent goal at Maine Road. Or perhaps that was a dream.
Mills and Kernaghan's were both screamers, and completely unexpected.

I remember Psycho having a go at Bernardo after one of the sending offs, saying he dived. Might have been against the rags. At the time Ferguson was as usual defending his players in similar situations.

Kare Ingebrigsten. Played for us at a time when you had to have a Norwegian in your team. Think it scored a cracker for us and that was it. He went on loan for the remainder of his very lengthy contract.

No, but he only scored one goal...wait, I think he scored in a cup match as well.
I was referring to his screamer out of nowhere that was unexpected.

Was it Kare who scored four against Leicester in the cup? That must have been a considerable chunk of his goals for us.
