yeah, I really do. seemed the players looked up to him and he was definitely very vocal on the pitch.
He'd just arrived, man. Ba's goals, a defence that played a consistent line, Ben Arfa, Cisse's goals and luck with injuries got us 5th.
...and imo Jonas' s defensive work along with below average players massively stepping up when needed. Best, Perch, Ryan Taylor and Guthrie.
ok,ok. so we all agree it was due to everybody BUT pardew.
