As if anyone would argue that this dickhead's good for football, mind. All that talent and resource and he follows a defeat by Palace with an attempt to conserve a 1-2 scoreline at PSG. Useless when he can't find anyone to bribe.
That may be down to Woodman being a decent GK coach, has nothing to do with Pardew's input
Who said it was? Pardew wouldn't really be having any input into his progression as a keeper, anyway. Nor is he in some way holding him back.
What bothers me is the fact that none of the players have a bad word to say about him. They're happy to get paid and not improve.
Stinks of a lack of leadership in the squad. No coincidence the two natural leaders were sacked off 3 years back and the armband was given to the meekest of the lot.
He reached a height and has since regressed. You can't argue with that, surely?
Sure he improved but I think in last two seasons he has regressed significantly. His kicking is absolutely horrendous and quite dubious at times with some goals he has let in.
His kicking has always been crap. Criminal that it isn't being worked on.
We're talking about the lad who fucked off at the first chance
Whether that's accurate or not, it's irrelevant because we both know who'd far rather be up front for us next season.
