Because he might be better? Stop playing dumb.
There are lots of candidates who might be better. Why would you pick Peter Beardsley out of all the possible options other than he's cheap and will kiss Ashley's arse when required?
There you go again. I never said I'd 'pick' Beardsley over 'lots of candidates'. I said I'd pick him over Pardew.
They didn't win enough games to finish 4th and 5th by being scared of the opposition. They did it by scoring goals and not giving owt away at the back. Give me that anyway over being a national laughing stock losing 4-0 every other week.
Because they're sheep who believe you have to win something to be a very good manager. I wouldn't expect that nonsense on an NUFC forum, but it's here.
Or acknowledging the fact he had some very good games for us when we finished 3rd, 5th and 7th. Not to mention scoring 2 important goals in 1-0 wins to get us into Europe. Imagine a CB doing that for us now.
He's a player who doesn't strike the ball well at all and makes bad decisions in possession. He could be incredibly confident and still be abject.
Disagree there like. He made better decisions on the ball in this friendly tournament and strike a better shot than I've seen him do in two years in the premier. Confidence is a massive factor IMO.
It's a friendly. Alan O'Brien looked a decent winger for us in pre-season.
