Dr Venkman Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 You'd think so yeah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Surely he's been asked about Williamson and rather than say "yeah that's Willo finished here" he's found something encouraging to say for the players benefit. I mean it has to be, right? Bingo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 If it's true and he selects Williamson to 'counter' Stoke it should be clear as day to everyone he's not worthy of being manager of NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Chibas Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 As an aerial defender. f***, for a bloke who measures 6'4, he punches below his weight, and that's due to a lack of athleticism. The killer though, in opposition to his inclusion against Stoke (to thwart them at set-pieces etc), is that he gets fuck-all purchase (or planned direction to potential outlets, away from the attacking mop-up zone where attacking mids loiter) on clearing headers. If you can't clear your line Stoke will kill you, by pouncing on messy second chance opportunities. It's Pulis' bread & butter strategy in attack.

Deuce Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I don't think he's a very good manager. But I also don't think he's a total imbecile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Ah.... a debate as to whether Pardew is so thick that he would rather counter Stoke's strengths than go with ours. Not getting involved in this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 If he played Williamson on Sunday with no injuries to Taylor/Mbiwa I'd immediately join the Pardew out clan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It won't happen. What the fuck would Williamson bring to us that Taylor/Mbiwa won't, he's shit at winning headers, good at pulling shirts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Williamson wont play on Sunday ffs. thought the same about Shola on the wing He likes Shola, though. He thinks Williamson's shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Not that I think Williamson would be an advantage I don't see why people think playing players that are more suited to the opposition is a bad thing. Do we think teams will not get near our box? Are we going to dominate games without the opposition even getting a half chance? Obviously Williamson isn't the answer and I'm sure he won't actually play (if everyone is fit) but I am sure all teams/managers will put some thought into their defence against every team they play.

Skeletor Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Not that I think Williamson would be an advantage I don't see why people think playing players that are more suited to the opposition is a bad thing. That is part of the reason it's such a horrible idea. He's weak in the air meaning he isn't suited to playing Stoke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'd be perfectly happy if Williamson never had to play for us again tbh. I think he's looked horrendous for much of the season and he is truly the last resort. We're back to square 1 in the summer of needing 2 CH's this summer once colocinni goes imo.

Here's an idea why don't we don't we try and play like we did v stoke last season where we dominated the game, also we ate playing a side who's won 1 in 9.
