ujpest doza Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 To be fair to him, at least we tried to play football today instead of hoofing the ball. Starting Lovenkrands and bringing on Smith is baffling. With Shola and Vukic injured he had no choice ffs.. Shut the fuck up, man. Clueless tool. Pards made a couple of mistakes today but generally got it right. He deserves a lot of credit for our good start. Needless was what i got told for something like this.

TherealnorthernTOON Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 A very winnable fixture next, then a villa game I reckon we'll at most draw in if we ain't got our fullbacks settled by then. Nzog and Agbonlahor will tear us a new one if not. But creds today for the new passing game we are playing. Also nice to see us having 70% of the ball most of the time on SJP. Will probably be just better and better by christmas time. And hope we can push on with momentum. Could easily see us up there by christmas with everything to play for.

Guest Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Anyway, at what point does papering over the cracks, not being good enough, etc. become well actually, we maybe aren't that bad afterall? Our last 9 league games we've played 6 of last season's top 10 and only lost once. We must be doing something right man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had the same strikeforce plus Ba for all of those games and still done well enough. We'll sign a striker no doubt to help us kick on even more imo.

Newcastle Fan Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Thats a really good start we made to the season and i have to give him some credit for it, its not easy working when Fat Mike is going around selling your biggest players but he's done a really good job at the start of the season, and the fact that were having quite a few youngsters playing really good is even more encourging.

TRC Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Pards is a decent manager to be fair, he's just victimised because of the circumstances of Hughton's sacking. If we get some players in, I think he could do a good job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ykmkmdd Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I get the impression he's deliberately setting us up to start games slowly, keep things tight and compact while we figure out the opposition then tweaking things to get gradually more aggressive - has happened in all 4 games so far, we've conceded lots of possession early doors but seen very few chances created against us.

bodson Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I think we need to hand it to Pardew. He deserves an applause for doing something no other NUFC-manager has succeeded in doing over the last 20 years or even more. He has given us a good defensive base. No lets get the attacking working and this could be the start of something really good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the players he had available yesterday I think it's a bit much to expect a swashbuckling style. If we added a couple of marauding full backs and a pacey forward I think you'd see something like the finished article. Yersterday was the first time I saw a glimpse of the team I expected this season, with Cabaye outstanding as the conductor in midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliassenfredrik Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 http://www.sundaysun.co.uk/sport/latest-sport-news/2011/08/29/pardew-keen-to-recruit-84229-29321428/? Pardew keen to recruit Aug 29 2011 Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is desperate to add to his squad despite seeing his side drag themselves into the Barclays Premier League's top six with a 2-1 win over Fulham. Leon Best served a reminder of his determination to win a regular starting place with a decisive double, while Ryan Taylor once again deputised as left-back with owner Mike Ashley, managing director Derek Llambias and club secretary Lee Charnley still trying to plug the gaps into which they slotted ahead of Wednesday night's transfer deadline. However, Pardew is not concerned that a four-game unbeaten start to the new campaign will persuade the trio that there is no need to buy. He said: "It never worries me about winning games, I never really worry about that." Pardew added: "But I am frustrated that we haven't got a couple of bodies in yet, and I think Derek and Lee and Mike are frustrated as well. "Hopefully, we will get it over the line this week." Asked how important it was to win in the wake of Joey Barton's departure to QPR last week, Pardew said: "It is significant because he is obviously a large personality, but the club is always bigger than the individual, always, and it's now about other players making their reputation here. "Joey was great in his time here, especially under me. I enjoyed working with him, contrary to some things you hear - and this and that. "We had a great relationship and I wish him well. For us, though, we move on and that's how football is. It moves very, very quickly. "We have got seven points out of a really tough programme and we are pleased with that."

sugoinufc Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Krul ? (santon) S. Taylor Colo ?(santon) tiote cabaye ? Ben Arfa jonas ? its starting to look pretty damn good. A couple of signings more this and the next window. only 4 positions where i think we need/could/should invest. and then there still is good players like obertan, marveaux, little Ameobi, vuckic, willo etc.. could be good years in the making....even with Ashley still here. If there is something i hope for ashley to bring to the club it is stability and good economy for the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
