David28 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I also think Pardew has done well and he has almost completely convinced me that he'll be a good manager for us in the next years. But, I suppose he's been really lucky with the 'group of lads' he's got here. They seem to be able to manage themselves sometimes really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zeta87 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Our attacks are far too concentrated on the left side though. Not that it's his fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Why did he wait so long before bringing Ranger on? And, why take off Jonas who looked more likely than most to create something up front? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I have no evidence to base this on - but I do think we've picked up more points under him than we would have under Hughton. His use of substitutes is also something that's really impressed me. I still don't trust a word he says though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Why did he wait so long before bringing Ranger on? And, why take off Jonas who looked more likely than most to create something up front? Agree with the first point, disagree with the second. We'd have lost the game if we'd stuck with that 4-4-1 tbh; someone had to be sacrificed to open up the spot for a third centre-back. Jonas was the only feasible choice, tbh. As it happened, the game swung back completely into our favour. It's a while since i've seen us go down to ten men and us be the more prominent attacking unit. The subs were brilliant.

Pardew is CRAP and that is a matter of fact, look back and he always does well in his first season and crap in his second a second rate manager.

Pilko Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Very good today, the only thing I'd say is Kuqi should have replaced Best earlier. Best wasn't winning many aerial balls, although mainly down to fucking shit reffing. He was pushed or pulled pretty much every time and we seemed to get a free kick for one of every four.

Best did well in the air. Any ball that came anywhere near him (many of Harper's did not...) - he got, at the very least, a glance on it. Unfortunately there was never any fucker around him to make use of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 You really don't like him do you Mick! Our front two were poor today and he did nothing about it and it was obvious that when we played the ball up front it was coming straight back at us. Lovenkrands was poor but Best hasn't a clue about how to stay on-side yet he had a full 90 minutes. Also, I didn't see any need to take off Jonas when he looked the most likely to open something up going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get what's so confusing about it. Enrique actually played better than him, from an attacking point of view, when he moved forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrique actually played better than him, from an attacking point of view, when he moved forward. He could still have gone 3 at the back without taking off Jonas, he could have taken Lovenkrands off for Ranger and told Simpson to push up on the right.

Doug Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Very impressed with his positive attitude of keeping two strikers on and playing three at the back with full backs pushing forward wide all the time when down to ten men. It kept us playing in their half a lot instead of just desperately defending and soaking up pressure like a lot of managers would have done. Unlucky not to win it with Rangers marginal offside at the end. We have to be very encouraged under the circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
