Guest ykmkmdd Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Absolute tactical masterclass tonight: -Hitting Obertan early over the top at every opportunity - led to the 1st goal -Leaving players upfield (Obertan and Cabaye) on their set pieces limited the amount of players they could load into our box -The genuinely comical time-wasting on throws and free kicks - how does your own medicine taste Stoke?? -Jonas doubling up quick and early on Pennant - if their full backs are shite may as well expose it Fucking brilliant - looks like he researches the oppo to an amazing degree and acts accordingly - well done Pards.

Tiresias Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 All the 'they haven't had tough games' crowd need to have a look at how we play right now, we take our opportunities when we get them and we're tight bastards at the back. Most of all we're not boring to watch, without being foolishly open. Last season was spent a little looking over our backs as we knew we were riding some luck at times, and losing games we really should win, and we would win. Still think the handling of kicking Houghton out was tremendously harsh, but Pardew is doing well. Almost worringly, Ashley will sack him soon at this rate.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I'd love Pards to have a long, long career with us, always like him even before he came here. Think in the right circumstances he could build an amazing career here. If he could only stay away from players' WAGs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Although I rate Pardew, his backroom staff, our key players and our squad players very highly, I didn't think we'd get anything out of the game because I did not think we had developed to a point where we could cope with a 90 minute battering from such a direct physical team in a hostile stadium. I thought about how the great Keegan team would have gone into such a game and still won but I didn't think this team had it in them yet. I was wrong.

rocksammy Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 great result , going great, what people dont realise is that when we do start losing we have a bench with actual strike power coming from it now like pearchyboi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Love the way he is learning from his mistakes. In the build up to the game he said he got it wrong away at stoke last year and that it was his fault. Well he went and put that right tonight. Brilliant!

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 He certainly addressed the poor way we usually start games as well tonight. Whether that was because Stoke are technically unable to control a game under pressure I don't know, but still nice to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression he desperately wants to do well at Newcastle and is working his arse off to make this happen. So far so good, he is becoming extremely likeable and who would have seen that a year or so ago when he was appointed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I was really peeved when I saw Obertan and Raylor on the squad...egg on my face somewhat. (still maybe think Santon may have done a better job, but I suppose would have been a very harsh first proper test), and Obertan justified inclusion entirely. Team spirit must be sky high right now. lets hope that this continues. How many more 'true tests' according to the media are we going ot have to endure? (I suspect we'll still be getting that in april) It's also worth noting I had this down as our first loss. Always great to be proved wrong as such.

Good Lad is our Ryan. Yeah, he took a couple of cynical tackles off them while watching their high balls come to him, then out-Delapped them for one of our goals. ---------------------------------- Top class Mr Pardew.

ponsaelius Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Like what I heard about us apparently watching loads of DVDs of teams before we play them and meticulously planning. Looks like it is paying off. Last year he tried to counter them with the 5 at the back and got it completely wrong, this time we played it perfectly.
