Guardian says that FA are looking at charging him.

Good find that. This cunt needs a long ban and fine.

They have a lot more rotation of players.

I also think that table is a bit misleading as when we did get injuries last season they were always very long term ones.... Hatem, Taylor and Sammy spring to mind. The rest of the injuries as you point out wasn't crucial first teamers like they have been this season. Colo, Cabaye, Ba etc etc the spine of the team basically was fit all season this season we have the spine ripped out on many occasions for long periods of time. Significant inj is probs more of a guide than days lost.

I've looked at it a few times now and it is clearly with intent.

Yeah. I think that although we're near the bottom, there are quality clubs below us. Think also some of the smaller clubs near th top are probably playing less games. Also rotation at ManC and Chelsea is very high.

Halsey was abused on twitter for ages by Liv fans and I felt a bit sorry for him....not now. Cuntface.

Move forward as a side rather than knocking it up to a couple of players must be the mantra now.

Fulham and Mackems are must win games. That will give us 39 which this season might be enough. I'd rather we got 40-42 which would be truly safe. It's gonna be close if we lose one of those two home games.

They are coaching to keep shape and contain wth little movement and rask taking. The other night Jonas was stood regularly between our two centre halves waiting for their players to run at them. Adam Cambell came on and instead of being on the shoulder of their last man was sat deep wathcing the runs of ther right back. Against ten fucking men. People say what a good team they were and what a great result and they would be right. But blimey did we make hard work of it. That was the one cross that was of any use and the man who can do it stuck it away. Given the opportunity. We are so dour and inhibited that when the fates stac against us like this with piss poor decisions; it only ever goes one way. I was a massive factor no doubt but we don't do ourselves any favours. However we line up most of the game we play 451. I see gouffran and marv regularly in our half helping out instead of offering an outlet near or godforbid over the half way line. One CLASSIC giveaway of his tactics is you never see him doing the PUSH UP signal that most PL managers spend half the game doing. Even in posession we very rarely go to more than a 7/3 -6/4 split and that inc an overlapping fullback. Has any of our midfleders scored a goal from inside the box this season? I can only think of a couple. He talks in interviews about having switched to all these formations and it doesn't match with what has happened. Its all speculation but I've seen little this season to say with any degree of certainty whether we would have got 3 points; refereeing decisions aside. We just don't attempt to attack with conviction. I know now he will never drop Guti even if his legs fall off.

I really don't know what Pards gets out of his tactics apart from a bit of safety (but even the goals against is ridiculous). Earlier in the thread someone was saying even the new players will go to shit after a few months of Pardball and I can hoenstly see that happenning.

If you type in 'Halsey shit ref' into google a pandora's box of criticism of him opens up. He really is a cunt.

The criticism of Pard is well documented going back 2 years and nothing much has changed. It's not really results based, rather performance and general nous based. His football brain is shockingly limited, there is no polite way of putting it.

He said he hadn't seen it which might mean the fa can look at it.

QPR have more away points than us.

Without putting a downer on it, it will be a small miracle if we get past Benfica. On the upside the league will get full attention.

Because we rely solely on the individual. Debuchy was having a very good game and was our driving force. Take that away and that individual performance is lost meaning someone else has to step up and that's hard to do. There is no team play emphasis whatsoever other than the defensive side to our game, i.e. track runners, get tight, mark up, press etc. and even then we are no fucking good at it. On the ball facing the opposition goal and asked to attack though and we don't have anything in our locker. We rely not on movement or passing or understanding. We rely on luck, a flukey cross, an outrageous Cisse goal or a Cabaye free kick or whatever. We rarely get the ball from defence, move the opposition around, get forward, get bodies into the box and put the opposition under pressure. Not consistently or with any regularity anyway. Furthermore the players lack attacking confidence. Cisse will stop making runs because he knows all will be in vain. The knock on effect will see that the wide man will stop putting crosses in or Cabaye will stop looking for a through ball/ball over the top. That's when you become static and very flat and that's us right now and that's been us for the majority this season. God awful on the eye and frustrating as hell. What is Pards getting out of his strategy then?

The shortcomings of his gameplan is massively exposed when Cabaye and Hatem aren't available. Marv does well but is still not dominant or consistent enough.

Reminded me of that Keane - Haaland tackle.

That's because we've put-up with the same crap over and over again. Poor starts. No attacking cohesion Too many players off-form at the same time etc... Did we start poorly today, like? The injury to Debuchy knocked the wind out of our sails. Up until that point, we'd looked the stronger team. Did it fuck, what fucked us today and fucks us all the time is in that final 3rd we look absolutely fucking clueless and in the middle lack any movement and ball retention/playing ability in the main. Cisse was constantly begging those behind him to get closer to him. At one point Santon raced down the right and had to check back on himself because there was no fucker in the box. He dropped deeper and looked infield and where was our midfield? Back in our own half. This is a regular and common theme of our game under Pardew. That's what is killing us not a fucking injury to a full-back. Honestly, I go to a few Gateshead games and they play better football than us and have more of clue on the ball. Most are under instruction to not get forward much that must be clear to all on here by now. Even when Santon or somebody breaks the Pardew gulag there is only one in the box against 4.

I could understand it if Pards over the last couple of seasons just got the two wingers and a tank and set his stall. We're not even that ffs!!

I wonder sometimes what HE thinks is going on out there.
