Silva had a pretty bad game for his own standards to be honest. Best central defender in the world though, gets almost no recognition outside of Italy. Had Ibra not scored so many penalty goals, Silva wouldve been chosen the best in the Serie A. And Prince scores some helluva goals.

Why is he not? Most talented player in his squad just like Carlitos was at West Ham. Not saying Pardew doesnt like good players, he jusv doesnt know how to get the best out of them. Hes a classic english manager who knows and loves his graft and committed players. (which amazes me since he gives Obertan playing time). He clearly believes Ben Arfa has no part to play this season or will get his chances as soon as tiote and cabaye are back.

Problem is Pardew is passive and unaware of things. Play three up top like he did with Shola, Best and HBA but this time with a midfield consisting of Cabaye, Cheick and Guthrie and a front-line of Dembas and BenArfa. Demba Ba likes coming from deep so him and Ben Arfa behind Cisse would work magnificently. Problem is, doesnt matter if we have 5 Jonas, we wont be able to support our fullbacks anyways since theyre horrible defensively why not try to use Santon in an offensive manner and let Simpson just stay where he is. No point in falling back all the time as we are not very goo defensively. We need to push forward and play free flowing football with a midfield three who are ocmfortable on the ball. Krul Danny Willy Colly Santony Cheicky Cabay Guthry DemBarfa Demba2 Demba1 Is in my opinion a must against Wolves, should go all out on that shite and badly organized defense they have.

Pretty easy for me as well. Think city should have different shorts mind. Yup shorts is the only problem. Shouldve been same colour as shirt, but its pretty easy to tell otherwise.

Guthrie can more than good do that job in a three man midfield. However, we need a new rightback and central defender. But I agree with what youve said and Ive been hoping Pardew would change to that. Would give us a free flowing attacking team with a packed midfield with quality on the ball as wella s winning it back. We would be prone to counter attacks and so on, but I believe we would retain the ball so much better.

that city outfit is lush like. Clean as fuck.

Pardew is the man who preferred Carlton Cole to Carlitos. Says a lot.

Hennessey is the worst keeper I have ever witnessed in the Premiership. Id do a better job ffs.

Agree with you largely, dont think he that many options bar Ben Arfa. Switched Gutierrez to the right as he saw thats clearly where they were creating from. Still, Ferguson over Ben Arfa? Very odd. It's not odd. Davide also needed protection so he brought on a lad who has played LB himself. It was a defensive move that made sense. Absolutely, defensive move when down 4-0. Do some people actually listen to how fucking clueless it sounds.

Funny part is they lost and yet they are happy because we lost. Bunch of fucking morons.

We've not been out of the top seven all season. We were a Championship side two years ago. Kindly go and boil your head. Move on , we have bought well and have better players than two years ago, and a couple of years before we drop into the Championship , we were in Europe. Football changes and teams improve or fall off. Stop using that as an excuse, how many freaking years must we be out of the Championship before we can claim we can improve and be hoping for better. Unless you're Man City/Chelsea it takes a while to build a squad capable of consistently finishing in the top six. The fact we're even competing a mere year and half follwoing a promotion is a testament to how well Pardew is doing. The season hasn't ended lets see where we finish before the victory laps, i am more focus on how we are performing on the pitch. As i said in another thread is it Ridiculously to congratulate or give credit to Pardew before the end of the season. For now the credit he deserves is keeping us from being relegated and nothing more. Where do you think we'll finish? The fact we're merely competing for the top six shows what a great job he's doing. 1/3 of the season still to go, base on the football we are playing we wont be in the top 6 imo. Sorry i rate some of the players but not how Pardew translates it on the pitch , what if we ended the season 10,9,8?? how can you give credit to someone before the competition ends? Maybe if there are 5 to 3 matches to go and we have a good tally, i will be more comfortable in assuming where we would be but before all the celebrations, No one is due credit. Challenging/competing means nothing if the end results doesnt correlate to our final standing Who's celebrating/assuming where we're going to finish like? We've had a great season thus far, Pardew deserves credit for that, if we finish badly he'll deserve criticism. Sorry but there is a bigger picture than that. We are not playing well, we have not played well for a majority of this season and even worse during 2012. Results are falling our way with luck and when they aren't we are getting trashed like 5-2 to Fulham, 5-0 to Spurs and also the loss to Brighton. I would put a lot of this down to missing key players if it wasn't for us having not played well for a very large part of the season, ever since the Man City game we have had problem getting back on that horse and we have not played particularly well apart from the Man U game. I mean we have beaten Bolton, QPR, Man U, Blackburn and Villa since our first loss of the season against City. And all of them except Man U have been scrappy lucky wins where we werent really confidently deserving of three points. You simply don't amass 42 points due to luck, before today we'd won five from seven. We're a hard working, well drilled side who has just won two of there last three games with a Championship midfield. Now you take that into account, look what had happened have we not rode luck there and we wouldnt be anywhere near where we are. So your argument is simply: We are where are due to luck and no other factor? League is weaker than ever this season and we are taking advantage of it with individual brilliance and luck as well as other teams being real s***. By no imagination are we anywhere near the standard required to be playing European football. We have a great XI but our tactics have been poor and we look nowhere near as good as we did at the beginning of the season. Dont get blind by the results, look at our football and our tactics, they have been pisspoor for a while now. Statictically the league is no weaker than it was last season, nor the year before. If we're sixth come the end of the season we'll deserve European football, simple as that. I agree we haven't been playing our best stuff of late but we have been grinding out results with five first team regulars missing. A lot of my criticism for Pardew is that we havent been good enough since our first loss. Our 5 wins since then have been in my opinion lucky/underserving (excl. Man U). 11games unbeaten run was great but since then we have been very poor in general and Pardew hasnt tried to adress that in the right manner or been successful. My criticism is because of that. Results are not reflecting our performances fortunately enough.

where do bears s*** ? In cages? Barrels? Wood?

He behaves a bit like a manager who hasn't had a pre-season with his players and is trying things during the season which suggests he doesn't really know his players. I've noticed him reacting but can't figure out what he's trying to do. Yeah I tend to agree. One thing I always liked about Hughton, and I don't want to go on about him again, was that he nearly always picked what I thought was the right team and even when the result or performance ultimately didn't go our way, I could always appreciate what he'd tried to do. When we did get it wrong, or when something went right (Joey Barton on the right, for example), he always seemed to learn from that and take it forward. Too often Pardew leaves me scratching my head - not always for the worse however, I was bewildered by the Man Utd team selection and we p*ssed it. have you forgot about the playing smith for months, too much lovenkrands etc ? agree though pardew can be just as bewildering. too much Lovenkrands? Loven was class in the Championship and he never played much under Hughton in the PL tbf.

Way some go on, I guess Pardew is the new king of Newcastle, undeserving of criticism at all time. Watch the fucking game and not only the results. I guess some only watch this club and have no idea how the game is supposed to be played.

today of all days was the day he had to get 90 minutes. Open game where no matter who we played in central midfield we would be raped. We had to have players capable of magic like Hatem or even Abeid (who could take a shot from 50 yards )

Maybe, but playing them is fucking horseshit management.

At the end Barcelona will win the CL and no one will give a fuck about the La Liga.

Aye, at least we know he moves and works harder than Shola. For the rest I wont judge him on this game since he had nothing to work on.

He was still poor, but everyone will have these types of games. Danny, Perch, Obeshitebulbtan, Shola have these consistently.

Was the worst post match interview he has had since joining the club. We cant go to the top 4 teams and try to defend against them. We have to try and put pressure on them, because if you just back off you will concede no doubt. Ive likened his tactics to Sven Göran Eriksson and I will do it again. Complete utter fucking tool and inept during matchtime. He cant change a game to save his own ass with substitutions and so on. Embarassing stuff, always takes more than an hour. He has no balls at times. We have probably this seasons two most important matches if we want to have a go at the 5th or even 4th spot. Wolves, Mackem games are huge. We just have to bag 6 points from these.

Why you laughing? Only Ba for Abeid left. Fucking Pardew, I argued this and got shit. Hope some start realizing theyre fucking clueless when it comes down to football.

Put Gosling and Mehdi on for Dembas. We need protection at the back. Fucking embarassed like.
