Absolutely, but a good manager tries to change a game for the better. I've always criticized Pardew for his substitutions and mentality. He's Sven Goran Eriksson twin brother. Too conservative. (not saying he's the same as Sven, it's just that their view on football is equally shit and depressing)

Yeah, allows Dembele to be pushed up and be more effective going forward too. There we have two 'criticizing' him. Aye saying he's nowhere near Sandro is criticizing him i like him personally as Neil said a poor mans Carrick. Fuck you too Seriously though already stated above I read that wrong. Was pretty sure I read nowhere near quality and not nowhere near HIS quality...

It also helps if you have those options on the bench... Right cause Pardew didn't have Benny on the bench and still decided to put Ameobi on before?

You and your avatar can fuck off like Those gets me so bad.

Yeah, allows Dembele to be pushed up and be more effective going forward too. There we have two 'criticizing' him. Are they? Ameritoon said he's not near the quality of Sandro - which is arguably correct. Didn't say he was crap or anything. Mole said nothing of the sort. Well two seconds later everyone is saying he's a great holding midfielder. And yeah I might have read that wrong

Genius. You're not as funny as oakie if you think so.

Yeah, allows Dembele to be pushed up and be more effective going forward too. There we have two 'criticizing' him.

Been a good player for a while. A lesser version of Carrick, for some reason been given a load of abuse for not being good enough. I'd take him, certainly. I wouldn't don't know if it's a coincidence, but every time I see him he looks like an average footballer with a terrible mentality.

If anyone has changed this game btw its AVB. 1-0 down, puts three players on before the 70th mark and they score 3 goals from there on. Clarke yesterday put Long on in halftime and they could've beaten us. It shows you that if you have balls you will do well as a manager.

This forum man. 5 minutes ago someone was criticizing Huddlestone. Now everyone is praising him

going to end 3-3 this. Mad game. edit: take that back. Sinclair in...

I love Tevez. Never stops running. Unbelievable workrate.

Is it just me or is this guy and the Swansea fan that comes on here after the game the worst away fans on here after we banned wearside. Never contributes with anything worth reading. A bit like you neesy

He slips. But it's a red card. Maybe not a 3 game suspension, but definitely a red card there, he comes in a bit late and is unlucky as he slips. Still dangerous though.

Why persist with this clown game after game?

Said I'd be happy with a draw. Guess I was wrong.

He really is. (Dowd)

Best team in Europe this season by a mile. Will be the first time you guys are underdogs in my mind in the last couple of years.

The usual lapse from Mbiwa there...

This. This is what does my head in. It's so predictable. We all knew it. And now we'll either concede or Cisse will get a last minute goal.

Why are we sitting so deep? It's unbelievable. It's always the same story when we go up 1-0.

Have it running in the background Palnanderson.

Jelavic so close to 1-1.

No they haven't. It's been an extremely shit game with no one being all over no one.
