Poyet.. a bad loser!

[public school boy]

Come on Gus, You got it wrong yesterday. Face the facts we lost to the better team . No excuses, no silly comparisons, no childish jibes.
Southampton took the game to us and were unlucky no to score more. Let it be a lesson for the future.

Poyet is a winner and doesn't like losing. I wouldn't have it any other way to be honest.

Double standards among Brighton fans are hilarious. If Adkins is a bad loser he's an arrogant pikey wanker who will be sacked by Christmas. If Poyet is, we love his passion and wouldn't have it any other way!

Personally, I don't think you can be a top manager whilst also being a good loser.

Look at Fergie, Wenger, Mourinho et al. If a Brighton manager is happy to lose, then its the day he should quit.

I remember when Micky Mk II said he didn't mind losing against Leeds because "Its Leeds, what did you expect?". That marked the beginning of the end for him for my mind.

Also, we've never called Adkins a bad loser, just a little delusional. Fair play to him yesterday though. Conducted himself really well during the match.

I know, its great aint it!!!

I think Poyet was completely pissed about the lack of guard of honour. I reackon if we had beat them, he would have refused to shake hands, but as we didn't he didnt have much choice other to shake hands.

He is a bad loser. I wouldn't want anyone at the club that is a good loser to be honest. Good losers tend to end up in a lower division a year later.

ALthough people have knocked him for what he said afterwards yesterday, he is right when you think about it.

I would rather see us lose the odd game to a team of giants that play hoof ball, and play 95% of side of the park and win the league at a canter, than what that shit every week and struggle to go up with numerous million pound plus players in the side.

Gus has got us out this division with a better than average squad, and no doubt this time next season, we'll be pushing on in the championship with a very difference looking core to our to team.

But is he a bad loser. Very in the professional game should be, otherwise they should be in it. How often do you see Ferguson smiling after a defeat.

Spot on, any defeat is still a defeat whoever it's against.

This. I want my manager to be a bad loser, i want him to go home and give the wife/kids/dog a good thrashing, i want him to be so pissed off with losing that the team will be too scared to lose again.

You've got the perfect bad loser but despite plenty of practice, we haven't and Avram Grant still remains a gutless (unt.....fancy swapping !!!!!

thats about it I'm afraid

 

[public school boy]

Poyet has to accept that his tactics lost us the game, take it on the chin and admit that Southampton were the better team and stop making excuses.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

His tactics or the players performances?

That, in a sentence, is football.

Poyet would have told his players how he wanted them to play the game. Anyway it's all history now so time to move on. Another day another dollar.

True. But worrying we seem to struggle at defending set pieces...

It has been a bit of a weakness all season. Not been a handicap, considering we've won it comfortably. But it is something that I would hope mr Poyet, a very bad loser, adresses for next season. Much as I like El-Abd and Elphick, I think we need to set our standards a bit higher for the Championship and Greer is going to need a better partner. On the subject of Gus, his personality is why he is an Albion legend. His standards are much higher than we've been used to at this club in recent years, he has made such a groundbreaking difference to our club. He didn't get to where he is in the game by accepting defeat with a smile and a cuddle.

I think think we have had two games that will have taught us a footballing lesson this season, being Stoke and Southampton to a lesser extent.

Neither played the neat passing game that we play, but we should get used to the fact that this will be a good example of what we will face in the Championship next season. Probably better to get the message now when it can't damage us. Hopefully this can then be taken into account when the squad is stregthened and we go into pre season training..

i don't care Gus is the best ..we r Champions...fact!..end of!

If our record against the top 6 this season is taken into account as well this needs to be the wake up call.

 

[Binney on acid]

Good point. I was thinking that myself. Perhaps we were unbeaten at home because we hadn't played Southampton & Huddersfield. Yesterday was the wake up call that we desperately needed. In reality this is a very poor division and I don't think that we are as good as we think we are. There is no doubt in my mind that Greer can cut it in the Championship, but El Abd & Elphick? It's an accident waiting to happen......

Am I imagining it, or has PSB actually started a thread about a football issue?
