clintdempsey Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 What a man! Absolutely love the bloke.. and everything he says makes complete sense ie. not making rash sudden changes to discipline in the dressing room. Wish Pardew was my dad to be honest, such a cool guy. Not in a million years. He would be the epitome of trolldad with that grin / smirk of his. Going out on the pickup with your Dad. Quality! You do realise that Pards would probably steal all your girlfriends? There are some things that should not be shared between Father and Son. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 13 points clear of 18th, and probably half the points needed to survive in just 9 games. Excellent work from Pardew as no doubt the first objective this season was to avoid the drop. I thought he waited too long to take Obertan off, and I'd have took Simpson off for Santon instead of putting Shola on, hopefully he realises Marveaux and Santon have to start ahead of those 2 soon.

mouldy_uk Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 It's Pardy Time We were under par today but I think he made the right subs at pretty much the right time. Next team selection is important, want him to be brave enough to drop certain people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 He got the subs spot on today. He had to leave Marveaux as late as possible as Taylor's nose was still dripping and in the end, bringing him on even at 75 mins was a risk as Taylor could have been forced to come off.

Yorkie Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Thought his subs were generally spot on. I could see the thinking behind HBA coming on that early; they had more men in midfield and, to be fair to them, they were closing us off pretty well in the first half. We brought on another guy to try and counter this, but it didn't really work as Ben Arfa just isn't ready yet. In hindsight, it probably would've been better to leave Best on, as he's the best at holding it up - and there were quite a few high balls that we lost possession from. Bringing Shola on for Ba was spot on, as like i say, we needed someone to hold it up. And Shola did that - good contribution from him. Obertan's the issue at the moment. It's changing a winning side, i know, but the guy's just so obviously turgid wank that he needs to leave the side. Bringing Marveaux on was the correct decision and it won us the game. Pardew.

Why not put Marveaux on instead of Shola, then hold out with the Ba/Shola change if he had to do that? I think Taylor was alright after a few minutes anyway, if anything he had to worry about Simpson getting sent off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Think wigans midfield outcrowded ours really the first half, he reacted well to that with Ben Arfa. We seemed to get back into it more then. The main question is obviously Obertan, seems to me their roles should be opposite. Obertan should be an impact player with his pace & Marveaux the one with the better general ability starting games. Hopefully Pards reacts to what we're all seeing now..

Skeletor Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I don't know about Obertan as an impact player. I mean his pace should in theory be terrifying for tiring defenders but he's too lazy or too stupid to use it properly and he has no end product whatsoever. Ruined a lot of our attacking moves today.

I think Taylor was alright after a few minutes anyway, if anything he had to worry about Simpson getting sent off. It has been very clear that with Ba up front, we have no movement up front after about 55 minutes. Perhaps Ben Arfa should have come on for Ba instead, but we didn't know about Taylor then.

Taylor Swift Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Good subs today. I can see the point in sticking with a winning team and I won't criticize him for starting Obertan, but now that we've won a game by changing formation and players, he'll hopefully be brave enough to change the starting lineup as well.

wormy Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Needs to change things up soon. A good win today, in that we held out. But I'd like to think he wants to aim higher than holding out, just so he can play the diplomat and not take players out of a winning side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Be brave enough to make the changes before we lose a game Alan,it's clear what needs to happen. Agreed, but unfortunatly with Stoke away next i believe he will go with the more hardworking(supposedly) and more PL experienced Simpson and Obertan over Marveaux/Ben Arfa(depending on whether we go with 2 strikers or 1) and Santon...... I am against it totally because Simpson and Obertan are clearly the weakspots atm but i cant see him changing it, maybe he might for Home game against Everton.

aussiemag Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,11678_7259578,00.html Alan Pardew heaped praise on Yohan Cabaye after the Frenchman grabbed a late winner to hand Newcastle a 1-0 triumph over Wigan on Saturday afternoon. The midfielder, a summer signing from Lille, broke the deadlock in the 81st minute, pouncing on a pass from substitute Sylvain Marveaux to fire home. The strike marked Cabaye's first goal for the Magpies and manager Pardew was delighted with his contribution after admitting the France international almost did not feature due to a minor fitness problem. Close call "He nearly didn't play. He had a knock yesterday and a fitness test at the training ground today. So thank goodness he played," said the Toon boss. "He's a class player. He's a class person, actually. He brings an elegance to the side. "He's just a level-headed, good footballer. He's in an area where we've got competition. His quality shows every week." He added: "I'm pleased he's hit a real cracker to get him off and running. "The goal was special. Even if our fans were a little bit disappointed by our performance, it was worth the admission fee just for the goal." Pardew admits his side were dominated by the visitors in the opening half but was impressed by their comeback in the second after his half-time pep talk. "Great credit to Wigan in terms of their approach to the game," he added. "They played good football. They were faster and crisper than us. "It was just resilience, a fantastic save from the goalie and some desperate defending that kept us in the game (in the first half). "In the second half I thought we were better, after a little chat." An unbeaten start to the season has left Newcastle sitting fourth in the Premier League, and Pardew insists it is more than good fortune keeping his side flying high. Surprise "We appreciate that in the first nine games we've surprised even ourselves," he said. "But there are times when you've got to look at a side and say it's got some quality in it. It must have to get 19 points. That doesn't just appear. "We've had three or four games where perhaps people have said we were fortunate to win and we've had our share of luck. But there's also something else that suggests there is something in the team and we could have a big season. "How big it is depends on results, of course, and how we perform when adversity comes. We haven't really had that yet. The side has really settled, the injuries have been good. So that helps." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
