If that's true then Pardew needs to grow some balls and lay the law down to him. No player is bigger than the club. It's endangering Pardew's position now as well. So yes, if true, he really has to deal tougher with the situation.

There was a couple of moments last night that thoroughly encapsulated his ability. Hoofing and panicking under the slightest pressure. The moment in the first half when he absolutley smashed it towards Perch in the centre circle, causing us to loose possession just summed his decision making up for me. The sooner we get someone else in the better. Taylor can't be relied upon.

Would prefer tjis HBA Cisse Ba HBA Ba Cissé

I wouldn't draw any conclusions from Colo's performances. He was biblical in the Derby before going off. At Liverpool he played against one of Europe's most in-form strikers. Bruges was poor. His concentration lapses last night were really weird. I think he'll get into it sooner rather than later. The Krul-Colo-Tioté core is essential to our game, we need them playing together for a while now.

Was just having a look at the table. Season isn't dead yet. If we win and manage to pick up some sort of form, things can turn for us. If Norwich can see off top sides at Carrow Road there's not any reason for us to do the same. Last night left me with a slight optimisitic feeling that the players and Pardew are maybe coming to grips with what's required of them. Having Coloccini back and getting Tioté back to form will be key. Win this and get something at Fulham would ease all fears massively.

Perch is suspended man.. 5th yellow last night Let's go Willo.

I think we'll be up for this one. I also think Pardew has had enough of Williamson. He's getting worse every game. If he's not even winning headers then what is he supposed to do? Perch is a far better passer and has better positional awareness. He's also quicker and more precise in his tackle. Krul Simpson Perch Coloccini Santon Tioté Jonas Anita Marveaux Cissé Ba ...would be my team.

Good perspective and nice read.

It's ridiculous like. Watching him defend and concede throw-ins. It's like having Jonas at CB.

Obviously 4-5-1 now. Still don't get why Cissé is on the wing.

Hoofing towards Papiss. Have we not done this enough?

Super creative midfield. I don't think I've seen a more uninspiring midfield selection. Perhaps when we started Matty Pattison at Spurs. But at least Milner and Dyer played then.

Looks like: Krul Simpson Willi Colo Santon Anita Perch Tiote Jonas | | | | | v Ba Cisse To me. This.

"It (the draw) comes at a really bad time for us. But I'll look to the senior players to get us through this period."

This forum is fucking fantastic. The best fan site for football I know, all categories.

:crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2:

But yeah pretty much.

“I am looking to Ba, Cissé, Colo, Krul, Santon, Cheick, Simpson to see us through this period.”

Krul Simpson Perch Coloccini Santon Tioté Jonas Anita Marveaux Cissé Ba

I think Marveaux is the sort of player we need more of, but Pardew can't seem to fit into our game. He's calm on the ball, tries to play and focuses on his strengths.

Is he any good?

I wouldn't worry about that. http://www.teamtalk.com/premier-league/8280616/Newcastle-manager-Alan-Pardew-making-plans-to-strengthen-in-transfer-window So we might think about buying some players, if we're still 14th or worse by January. He needs to wait until the summer...January has no value....Summer is where the values at! But it's best to bide your time and get the best price...however never buy late in the window as the prices become inflated. AND: there's no value in January

Loose here and Pardew will really start to feel the pressure. 433 with Cisse as CF please.

Watching Swansea and Liverpool now makes me little bit sick.

You're right, sorry. Might add I completley agree with your point. The explanations and excuses of late - horseshit.
