We need a proper coaching staff with a modern outlook.

We should never be defending with more than 7 players. The back four and a cental screen of 3 with the wide two supporting the fullbacks if needed/or sitting inside if the attack is coming through the middle. This leaves 3 outballs for the counter. A long one if Cisse IS ACTUALLY IN SPACE or ideally a shorter pass to the 2 waiting forwards around the half way line. If a side finds itself defending with 9/10 players it just means they don't understand their roles or don't know how to DEFEND AS A MOVING BLOCK. Rafa and Mou sides are the state of the art regarding this.

The tempo is waaaay too high. Players panic on the ball if there isn't a pass on immediately. There is little intelligent movement upfront and often a midfielder will only have one or two players to hit in the other half - an area of the pitch which most games is akin to area 51 for putting fear into our players. Slow the tempo down a touch and have 3/4 options with a mf actually instructed to move up with interchanges of passing and a lot of our problems go away immediately (some games we do this for the odd 5/10 mins). The MF should be a 3 of Siss, Cabs and Tiote with Cabaye at the head of that triangle. Upront Cisse needs 2 creative forward types behind him (who aren't fire fighting all game in their own half). At least one of Cisse's support players must STAY in the opp half of near the half way line as an easy sightline outball... Most decent managers would sort us out in one week. I honestly believe that.

He's had 2 nightmare home games in a row and looks frustrated. Rose had him in his pocket and he got out muscled by Ricky.

He pretty much understands only one kind of football. If we survive I expect AC to be here in the summer.

Outside the top 4 the best manager in the league is Laudrup.

Seeing his replacement in the stands.

He must be sick of trying to hit one player from 50 yards everygame, over and over again.

Hand picked by Ashley remember. I don't like revisionism in any form.

They must be sick of his shit!!

His wild swings from one extreme to another a clue to his clueless approach from game to game. He's always chasing shadows, hoping throwing different players on will get him off the hook rather than actually thinking logically on how to use our players according to their strengths. Spot on.

You're wasted on here.

His biggest weakness is that he doesn't start with his best/balanced team...It's always a defensive compromise. He is spineless and soul destroying...He is the dementor of football. That starting 11 today was pathetic. 7 or 8 (depending on how you count Cabaye) defensive players leaving us with fuck all attacking intent. Front foot football my arse, just do what the other teams do and try to win the game. I have removed Pardooo from the wijiaa board he will soon be gone. Look at my bright ring!!!

Seems harsh as f*** that like, he's a nice lad from my experience. Which article you on about anyway? Aye, no need tbh. Regardless of differences in opinion, there's no need for the petty name calling. Nixon hadn't been mentioned and that article is about Benfica. Absolutely no need to bring him up at all. Regardless of his opinions. He was mentioned but whoever it was deleted it. Anyway he's a "journalist", what sets him above criticism unlike another cretin like Lee Ryder? Cos he used to post utter s*** on here as opposed to sticking it straight in the newspaper? Not having that like. Didn't see that deleted post. Makes a canny difference. Of course no journalist is above criticism, not one person suggested otherwise in the absolute slightest. There are plenty of others that back Pardew, plenty of others that talk shit on here, and plenty of journalists chatting shit. What you wrote seemed needlessly personal. Of course I'm sure you understand why myself and others, questioned why you'd brought him up? You seem keen on writing so many wrongs. I guess the John lennon ava is reaaeeel. I love you!

No! We've been cataloguing your demise for 18 months or so you donkey!!

Speechless.

This is beyond insanity.

I hope they have thought about getting a new manager in - a shortlist of some kind. Pardew will take us down.

The team now on is the one that should have started.

Will 40 be enough tho?

Team full of water carriers.

Anybody on this board would have scored there.

I feel ill.

Just trying to hit Cisse long from anywhere...FFs!!
