QBG Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Got it 100% right today. Giving Gutierrez free reign behind the striker was a great move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 If it was Hughton we'd have seen Smith, Kuqi and Ranger (in that order) from the bench. Glad Pardew gave the young-uns a run out, all of them did very well today. Balls, man - random post. Hughton gave plenty of opportunities to the youngsters.

TherealnorthernTOON Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Pardew seems commited to give the youths of the club a chance. I'm rather pleased about that. Hope he sends a few out on a loan. And keeps blooding a few during next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Did well today. If he can use his silky skills to bring some milkshake to the yard this summer, we'll be title contenders next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume this is directed at Pilko as well? Yep. Don't see the point in speculating on hypothetical substitutions in hindsight of what's gone on. Can't fault what I saw today. Jonas off the front was great and the subs were fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And keeps blooding a few during next season. he seems keen to see more of Lua Lua. That puts him up in my estimation. Lua might turn out to be shite, but he's got something which suggests there might be an exciting player in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 It was good to see him giving the kids game time when he could have been tempted to bring Kuqi and Smith on. All 4 kids have a future here, Smith and Kuqi shouldn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 4 kids have a future here, Smith and Kuqi shouldn't. True, it's easy to think that he was forced into using the kids, which he was to an extent, but he could have found other ways to avoid playing Fergie et al.

toon25 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Really didn't like the bloke when he was diets appointed but, fair play, I think he's done really really well. Also appreciate the fight and determination he's instilled/maintained among the players. Well done Uncle Alan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I reckon he'll be able to get more out of Ashley this window than any of the previous managers would have done in similar circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Liking his positive approach to games. He's often emphasising taking the game to the other team and putting them under pressure. Seems to be working for the most part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I liked what he said pre-match against Man Utd at home. "We should be looking to beat every team at home, and will be looking to beat Man Utd tonight" I like that kind of positivity. I also liked what I heard today during the match. Pardew could clearly be heard shouting instructions and praise at his players. Like: "Stay there Shola, that's it, well done, fantastic" "Great run that Jonas, great effort, well done mate" "Jose that was great" "Joey, Joey, that's it, that's what we need, keep going" I love all that kind of positivity. Anyone remember Souness and Allardyce dishing out abuse and criticism from the touchline. Hate that in a manager. Pardew got everything right today and tactically out smarted Ancelotti I thought. I'm also enjoying how we try to pinch the ball back these days, a tactic long forgotten. He seems to be a players man judging by his intsructions and praise from the touchline. Since he took over I'm finally now starting to see some positive signs which can only be down to training, tactics and the manager's own personal stamp. I'm talking about our pressing play, our pinching the ball play, our aggression and our positivity. Pardew as our manager still concerns me mind but he deserves credit where its due. I won't talk about the negatives after a fine performance and results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Today was the first time i've heard the fans singing to him, 'Pardew give us a wave, pardew pardew give us a wave'. Yeah, that was class. Also followed up with "Carlo, give us a wave"... which he didn't respond to the bastard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
