Ironically his next win is due very soon. We're so fucking soft it will be given to him along with our relegation and there guaranteed safety. The future is already written. Prepare for this http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1578225/Pardew_Glasses.jpeg

Hmm sound like anyone we already know. Massive spring onion head & French?

Townsend an expensive Obertan.

We deserve to go down on this showing. All the players signed were never for the intention of the manager or how they will work in a formation. just buy and sell materiel and the manager just has to use them where he can. shambles from Carr etc....

Yes but last game Townsend ignored Janmaats runs most of the game, you could see the frustration all over Janmaats face. Nothing worse for a fullback to get up and support the wide player to then be unused in better positions. Thought Townsend was dreadful vs Mackems. Most were but he showed the intelligence of an Obertan.

Anita at LB is an accident waiting to happen. Although he did play something like 40 games there for Ajax under DeBoer, but Eredivise is garbage.

Newcastle: from BBC Newcastle have won just one of their last eight matches (D1, L7). They have conceded 16 goals and scored only five times during this run. Newcastle have conceded 55 league goals this season, the second worst record in the division behind Aston Villa (58). They are five points worse off that at this stage of the 2008-09 season, when they were last relegated from the Premier League. Rafael Benitez has won all three of his previous visits to Norwich as a Premier League manager. Makes ↑↑↑ for amazing reading that lot.

Totally disrespectful if true. At least wait until end of season. We are in a relegation fight and like usual they are thinking of themselves. Disappointed I thought he was a better character than that. Always gestures to the fans like he's passionate and tries to raise the noise at St James.

I'd be looking at fielding this if it's available. http://www.footballuser.com/formations/2016/03/1424403_Newcastle_United.jpg Or this and drop Sissoko http://www.footballuser.com/formations/2016/03/1424405_Newcastle_United.jpg

Anticlimax as usual.

Wijnaldum hasn't been our biggest threat home or away for about 3 months He's a danger in the box. Playing deep yes he can do a bit, but we need to score a few, playinig him in cm i dont agree, sorry. The guy can do a job further up, ayoze was innefective in a derby, at worst id have pushed him wide where his assist came from.

For me our biggest threat at home Wijnaldum played deeper? Bad choice in the relegation fight. Perez ineffective, Townsend unaware. Sissoko just not a wide player. Best on the field most natural roles Shelvey & Mbemba

You for real? Wijnaldum has been a threat in front of goal, very dangerous in the box. Seems more limited in the middle to me, but the new manager obviously has to work with the best available selection. Glad no sign of the liability Taylor.

Haha the realisation has truely set in. Holy f*ck, the penny has dropped.

Norwich revival starting now then, a draw last week win this week, Guess we need to rely on a win tomorrow and Alan Pardew taking the final relegation spot!

Why people argue he's not a CM is because they too got Padewed with him at the same time. Probably knew nothing about him before hand either. Raffa should know his background, it was Liverpool who wanted him from around the age of 19, they just never moved for him.But he was constantly linked with them in his youth to first team transition at Toulouse. If you have it coached out of you, you can have it coached back. I would use him as a CM he has no place on the wing. Janmaat would be better out on the wing.

Rivierre's Rio Ferdinand like gob

Great post. Shame so many fans actually believe he's a right mid/right winger because they also have had this forced on them just like the player. His idol was Patrick Vieira, and he wanted to emulate his style. He was tested right mid by Pardew against Chelsea and skinned Ashley Cole after that and his immense performance, Pardew had decided that is his position. It wouldn't matter that he was a Defensive midfielder who gradually pushed on into a central and more box to box as you described in his later Toulouse days.There's being Padewed and there's being Padewed. I think he could do a job in CM if he was given time, it could take a few games months to reestablish the role and become a battler/tackler again but that's gotta be the best position on the pitch other than Striker. RM is not and never will do anything for his career. Probably half the reason watching him is so frustrating.

Who's likely to be available? Is it to soon for Mbemba Colo, it's just I see a let down in Steve Taylor occurring. Hes either giving a pen away or getting sent off. Better to have your babies on the bench for this one. I'd also consider starting Mitrovic and if nothing bringing him off, or just dropping him. We need to score more goals.

How did I miss him! Easily the best in the division. He's probably gained LVG 20 points this season.

Who's been the most impressive players of the season, still another quater to go but I have it like this so far. http://www.footballuser.com/formations/2016/03/1424034_Dream_Team.jpg I struggled at fullback positions, and also left the likes of Lukaku,Eriksen,Alli,Reid,De Bruyne,Aguero,Cresswell.

So to clear this up if anyone can help, Raffa on 3yr deal, As manager full control? And back room have all gone except Cathro. Is Carr next? Where does that leave him, he's role is redundant if Rafa is in control of player recruitment. If anyone can elaborate cheers

They leave him as head coach, employ Raffa as manager, and tell him he can hire and fire so Raffa does Charnleys job for him. Pussy.
