Yorkie Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Don't think he got owt wrong today. We were never winning this game, not in a million years. We're finishing the game with Kuqi and Ranger upfront, as opposed to their Carroll and Suarez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your strikeforce is toothless, then surely put 1 shit striker up front instead of 2, and stick another body in midfield? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Four totally abject away performances in a row. One goal scored, nine conceded, with a nigh on full strength squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick Jonas in behind a striker? I dunno, try something different. You've got little to lose, but you were asking for that with 2 "strikers" up front.

JH Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Difference between the two managers: - At HT, Dalglish switched his weaker fullback to the side where we weren't attacking and stuck the more experienced head up against our only threat. - We made our first sub, bringing on a 20-year-old striker on with 15 minutes to go, when we were already 3-0 down.

Disco Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Spineless performance. Again. It is the predictability of the defeat that I've issue with. Don't mind us getting beat when we have a go but that was terrible, from start to finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Pardew got everything right today, the players were clearly fired up and Pardew is starting to win me over. If he got anything wrong it was probably making the changes a little too early as our forwards had been causing Liverpool problems all game. I've got to put my hands up and say that he wasn't my choice as manager but I've been proven wrong. Not just today but by the way we used the last transfer window to strengthen the squad. We might have been a lot worse today if we hadn't done that. I suppose it would be unfair to not mention points per game, it was 1.1875 before he arrived and 1.1667 after today, another big hand for Pardew and the way he's turned us around since the upgrade.

Don't mind us getting beat when we have a go but that was terrible, from start to finish. Reminds me of the Souness and Kinnear days. Just going to these places, expecting defeat and hoping it's under 5-0. Can't see anything changing either. I fully expect 2 or 3 decent new players in the summer but it wont matter with a poor manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mind us getting beat when we have a go but that was terrible, from start to finish. The players were 'fired up' for the grand total of about 45 seconds at the start of the second half. The rest of the time, they just looked like they were there to get paid. No chance we were ever going to give it a go today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 His win percentage is pretty poor considering he has won something like 5 in 20 (losing 8). But to be fair to him, we are beyond terrible up front since selling Carroll. Ill judge him next season when he has a chance to get a few of his own players in etc. I have to say though when things go bad I cant see me having patience for him, certainly not like I had with Hughton.

Theres no way Pardew is controlling bids coming in, certainly not a huge bid like the Carroll one, its all down to Llambias and Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 The whole idea that Pardew had any sort of input into the Carroll deal is so ludicrous that it makes me want to lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
