i agree to a point, however you'd think if you try something and it doesn't work you'd then revert to what you know does work to steady things before trying something else.
It only worked for a few games and swiftly ended with a 4-0 hammering at Wigan. That game in particular has definitely poisoned Pardew against attacking football/tactics ever since imo and it's killing us.
We didn't play 433 at Wigan.
You can now text the club about racist abuse btw, the number is in the match day prog, text stand, row and seat no and security and stewards will look into it and monitor said person without you needed to be threatened by some neanderthal meat head.
You could quite easily manager a national side from afar and only be in the country when squads meet up for training and games, you can't do that with a domestic job.
I've brought a jumper with me to work today, possibly the first time ever as I don't usually do jumpers but it was bloody freezing at the Brugge home game.
The supporters at West Ham hated his style. The long balls to the likes of Cole and Harewood. Tevez and Masch benched cause he had a huff with them. THOSE are FACTS.
Reminded me of those games where he preferred Obertan to Hatem (Obertan is the only player he had a hand in recruiting btw). If you remember Hatem had to play miracle football when he got his chance to stay in the side. I mean he had to perform like Maradona and then the supporters started calling for him every game. Honestly it felt like touch and go if he'd every get into Pards good books or be discarded. I remember it well.
Pretty sure it was Curbishley who benched Tevez no?
