Sorry I don't buy that, unless Pardew has deliberately told him to be reckless in tackles and not to bother looking up or putting any weight on the ball when passing. His passing has been ridiculously lazy at times.
I still think there is a quality player in there but we can't blame Pardew for everything, some of these players have to take a look at themselves tbh.
We have however played a lot of absolutely abysmal football which is Pardew's fault.
Every player in the world has bad spells, Tiotes has came when we've been appalling all round, hence it's been magnified. His game is built on others moving around him, and our lack of movement makes Gateshead look like Barcelona.
