If the mis-management of Ben Arfa isn't enough evidence of Pardew's ineptitude, then look no further than the treatment of Yanga-Mbiwa - again we've got a situation where we've ruined a good player through sheer mis-management. Pardew's blatant favouritism in starting that c*** Steven Taylor, has really been of a detriment to Yanga-Mbiwa's progress. Anyone who's seen our games should/will have clearly seen that the CB partnership of Yanga-Mbiwa and Williamson was one that was solid as it can be (and it can be argued that it was better than the Coloccini-Williamson partnership) and it was really unfair on Mapou to be dropped as soon as Coloccini became fit again. Yanga-Mbiwa should have been the future but as ever that c*** Pardew sees fit to get rid because he doesn't know how to manage a player of Yanga-Mbiwa's calibre. What a fucking shame and what a fucking shambles from everyone within our management.
Pardew's management style knows no bounds - "oh I see you've played well...in that case, you're dropped". Pardew sure does know how to ruin players' confidence, man management skills you say...he has fuck all.
