He’s the perfect player when we are infront, does his job exceptionally well.As the title says. He slows the game down, passes negatively, and never drives us forward. Opposition teams must love him.
I think we can get by with one of the three in the midfield having an off day. When two of the three are not at the races, boy does it show. For me Pearson has been poor since February / March.Pearson is critical to everything. Today he was miles off it and it showed. When he's on it (which is 95% of the time) then he's our biggest asset. His usual energy was missing and the game bypassed him today for some reason.
This prick has history of slagging Pearson he doesn't know his ass from his elbow.Scapegoating Pearson is just a nonsense.
I think one of the problems is the opposition sit so deep at Deepdale that when Pearson picks up the ball there is no space in behind for the ball to be played meaning that he has to play the ball side to side to try and break the opp down and find a gap. Makes him look ineffective but really he's just being nullified imo opinion.I think we can get by with one of the three in the midfield having an off day.

Are the opposition bypassing midfield more to stop Pearson being as effective?
He needs to break forward more and draw an opponent out, creating space for Ledson or DJ to move into and receive the ball from Pearson?I think one of the problems is the opposition sit so deep at Deepdale that when Pearson picks up the ball there is no space in behind for the ball to be played meaning that he has to play the ball side to side to try and break the opp down and find a gap.

Maybe he's thinking about his move to the premier league with the rest of the big four.He needs to break forward more and draw an opponent out, creating space for Ledson or DJ to move into and receive the ball from Pearson?
He can do it, for some reason he very rarely does.
