Probs just a CM rather than a number ten. Even so, a midfield three of Anita, Sissoko and Tiote will create very little.

Not sure why anyone would prefer Sissoko to Marveaux in the number 10 position, especially after his recent performances.

:lol:

Hoping we end the season badly enough for Pardew to get sacked. Starting tonight. Prick. Dropping HBA again ffs.

Pepe Mel is doing a good job, I reckon they'll stay up (despite having some tough fixtures remaining). Demonstrated tactical flexibility tonight and against Liverpool by abandoning the high line of defense, which really doesn't suit the slower players they have (Reid, Lugano, Olsson etc.). Further proof that far superior managers to Pardew are out there and willing to work under tight budgetary constraints and (presumably) for not a huge amount in terms of salary, too. So frustrating.

A reaction like that for taking the lead against Fulham in a nothing game Him and Pardew are cut from the same cloth. Forgot about that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c48wCltdFQ

Using him on the right of a 4-4-2 . Man U under Moyes really does remind me a lot of us under Pardew. Rigid formations with little off the ball movement, hopeful crossing into the box as the only means of attack, relying on moments of magic to win the game..

Will surely be leaving in the summer.

You could argue Hughes, Allardyce, Meulensteen and maybe Pepe Mel but Pardew is just so unlikeable and lies through his teeth. Mel will turn out to be a good manager IMO.

Crooks

Sissoko as a number 10 again? Should be Marveaux playing there with Sissoko dropped back next to Anita. Anita and Santon is far too weak as a pairing in CM.

Anyone defending Pardew at this point deserves performances like yesterday. Morons.

I don't think he has progressed as a player since the day he signed.

"If Mike Ashley DID leave NUFC, would you have Alan Pardew as manager?" http://twtpoll.com/ungdpwyqq5u3nh2 @NUFC_Stats I would and see what the new owner would give him to spend! @NUFC_Stats yes but give him cash free reign to pick his players @NUFC_Stats u would have to give him a chance to manage without his best players being sold and not being replaced @NUFC_Stats I am happy with AP, he has proved himself here and all managers make mistakes now and then. He does well with what he has! @NUFC_Stats If you asked this question 7 days ago the outcome would be very different. MA is making a mug of Pardew as well as us #nufc Not enough in the world.

Anita will be okay, no surprise he struggled really, he needs another quality midfielder in and around him. Santon on the other hand?! That dude is one effeminate mofo. Send his mum and her meatballs back to Italy if she's still there molly coddling him, and get him to grow some damn balls. What a soft sorry man he is, with his pansy blonde streaks in his damn head. Disgrace of a man. Anita just needs to play in a passing team, he's shown he's very good in that situation. If you are playing hoofball though, then a 5'4 midfielder isn't going to be much use. . Find it difficult to criticise the likes of Anita and HBA today given the way the team was set up to play.
