Certain players within our squad will buy into though. That's a given. We know that some, not all struggle with pressure. We've seen them collapse. Whether it be Bournemouth or Newcastle or whoever. That mentality issue kicks in when things are not going well. As a result, some will believe the "over-achievement" tag. While others will hate it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get the comment really. “We’ve overachieved for a couple of years …… but we’re not far from getting back to what we were” What’s that? Shit? Relegation battlers? … or is “getting back to what we were” meaning where we’ve been during those years when we “overachieved”? If that’s the case then it’s not overachieving. Or is it? #confused 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned this word to a poster on here yesterday, motivation. Brendan Rodgers never comes across as a good motivator, the best managers in the World are tremendous motivators, they may come across as annoying pricks on the touchline, but they get their teams running and working incredibly hard. Just look at Conte yesterday, Spurs were crap for large parts, but in the end his motivation and somewhat anger pulled them through. Certain other teams in the league will run their socks off for their managers, West Ham under Moyes, Brentford under Frank, Gerrard in his first game with Villa gave off the passion that their fans wanted to see. Where’s that with Rodgers? That lack of fire and motivation then transpires on the pitch, the players have lacked passion and effort for the majority of the season, teams we should be beating have bullied us numerous times. Clapping in the 90th minute at 3-0 down won’t achieve nothing. You only have to go back to O'Neill time as Manager. He wasn't much of a Coach but he kicked every ball with the players during a game. If the Manager doesn't show some passion and looks as if it doesn't mean anything to him, Then the players will adopt a similar attitude and say why should we bother.

GingerrrFox Posted 24 November 2021 Share Posted 24 November 2021 Beyond belief that Perez has come out and said we have over achieved. The whole mentality of the management team and squad has to be questioned now. Imagine going round your workplace and saying oh it’s alright our performance has dropped off, we over achieved before. It’s not even ****ing funny this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why say “we’ve over achieved” unless you are trying to justify and excuse your current position? They are trying to justify current performances by saying they over achieved previously which is tantamount to saying “it’s alright where we are now”.

The_77 Posted 24 November 2021 Share Posted 24 November 2021 Here in the states, overachieving or being an overachiever means you’re ambitious and someone who always tries to excel. Hopefully that’s what Brendan and Ayoze mean but it doesn’t sound like that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t ever imagine saying anything like that to Pearson that season— Big Nige was 100% to give that moron a taste of his own medicine. We were in every game. In fact, I’m pretty sure that was the last season we did not lose a game by more than two goals, ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beechey Posted 24 November 2021 Share Posted 24 November 2021 I’d rather they just say we are playing badly, but trying to make it right. I really dislike this “overachieved” talk. Is it even possible to overachieve to the same league position twice in a row, with improved points totals, over a 76 game period? Seems more like an upwards trend to me, rather than a lucky period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 24 November 2021 Share Posted 24 November 2021 Its weird because I think the squad overall has over-achieved but at the same time it as underachieved given the position and opportunity we have found ourselves in the last couple of seasons.
