They sound like some of our fans who keep talking about our 5th place as a reason to stick by Pardew

To be fair to them, I'm convinced that they would have gone down if they hadn't sacked O'Neill. Appointing Di Canio, worked for them short term and they might be better off now. Have to agree with this. He did what was needed for them. I hate to say this but it appears the mackems actually have some ambition and won't accept the poor results with PDC has shown

Rather them take Pardew to be honest

Isn't that what everyone else has said? Certain people are posting how managers don't get enough time and they have a short shelf life. The risks are simply too high to keep around managers who may come good. The mackems biggest mistake was allowing him to bring in all those piss pot players he bought

Hahaha mackems eh

I can't believe some on here, PDC Is a car crash of a manager its a great move for them. He clearly lost the dressing room with his moronic ways only idiots like us stick with crap managers and talk about stability

Higuain makes it 2-0 I could never understand why Madrid let him go instead of benzema

City have really shown how effective a aggressive press can be. Oh and they played midweek as well.

Keep Anita where he is. If we put him right back we revert to hoofball again or Tiote being caught in possession as he'd be the deepest of our midfielders. I'd rather see Santon at right back and Dummett at left back personally.

Taggart f***ed up by messing Pogba about. Agree, I think Pogba is developing into one of the worlds best central midfielders.

One paced totti does fine for Roma. Cabaye is such an easy target now I'll judge him when I see him player under a manager of some ability like rudi Garcia. Oh wait he did that and lead lille who were under dogs to a league championship.

I cross my fingers but i doubt it.

Pressed him much higher up the pitch and he slowed things down too much too. They did bimpy but that's because we reverted to our usual sitting deep nonsense. We didn't push up the pitch or press at all, everytime we lose the ball we retreat without tying to win it back. We need to get the whole team to push higher up the field and have Anita pick the ball up from the centre backs and let him dictate the tempo.

He just started with Sissoko-Anita-Cabaye ffs. My post was in response to bimpy saying Pardew will want more bite

Typical Pardew: I'm sure if he had his own way he'd buy Cattermole and have him and Tiote playing central midfield.

Sounds like Pardew logic this. Anita did fine today the issue is how we actually defend. We drop off and sit deep but we don't close down nor do we we get right on top of that we don't even take up a compact shape. We have to address how we defend as a team before we worry about the personnel doing the defending, we have no defensive shape whatsoever it's a disgrace.

The hoofs don't work Alan.

You know your a shit manager when Steve Bruce gets one over on you. Notice how Hull defend deep narrow and very compact and they close down and double up a stark contrast to us.

Tiote lost the ball, then closed down the man who won it and we won it back! I've been preaching we should do this all fucking day. We haven't put the man on the ball under any pressure all day.

I think if we are honest any good result we get is papering over cracks. The club is rotten from top to bottom.

Nowt to do with players being s*** at all. Funny how these players weren't shit before Pardew got his hands on them.

i'd have liked him here. only £4m wasn't it? too english, probably He's shit, players for Hull for a reason. Anyone in this league should be able to hurt you if given time on the ball.

what a joke but thats what you get back when you sit deep, don't press and don't get right. Shocking defending as usual.

We have no shape at all since Cabaye went off.

Aye back to aimless lumps now.
