Guest Deadmau5 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Newcastle-James-Perch-urges-team-mates-not-to-blow-top-six-finish-and-possible-European-place-article880597.html The gaffer said last week that not many people get the chance to get into Europe with a club like Newcastle. What's that mean? The way I read it is he think of Newcastle as a midtable-club and is clearly surprised that we are even in this race for a EL-place. I cant help but feel that Pardew would have felt more comfortable just cruising midtable. Last week he said losing to Arsenal could be a good thing as we didnt have to worry about the CL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deadmau5 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 47 Points and 9 games left. 28 points to play for. How fun wouldnt it be to just go all out Swansea-style with Santon, Cissè, Ba, Ben arfa, Cabaye in the Silva-role, bombing forward. Could fail spectacularily. Or it could be a CL-ticket. Would have been fun either way. Cabaye isn't and never will be a Silva type of player. That's a daft comparison. If you think we can overtake Arsenal now by bombing forward and leaving the likes of Williamson vulnerable, you need looking at, bro. Yeah lets just turtle up and hoof it instead bro, sounds safer. The hyperbole from both parties in this debate is ridiculous, there is a middle ground to be had. There is no middle ground, just lots of hoofing from one end of the argument to the other. The middle ground is clearly in danger of getting a stiff neck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Not according to Pardew, he likes to bypass that area.

Guest Deadmau5 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 "It was one win, when you are looking it like that - one game down, one win, clean sheet. It's perfect. Pardew seems to love the clean sheet, like. Nothing wrong with that mind, but I get the feeling 1 goal is more than enough, clean sheet is more important than scoring several, case in point all the times we have turned to horseshit after scoring once.

Safer that pretending Cabaye's one of the best players in the world and our defenders can cope with being one-on-one on the counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Think he means we've conceded a lot so going more positive would mean even more goals conceded. Not true imo, but I can see the reasoning. Going more positive = taking more risks = shipping more goals Simple equation really Nothing to do with the fact we had the most in form centre back pairing in the league and weren't conceding many until Taylor got injured, now we're having to play a championship at best replacement. Also have a new LB settling into the league and had our first choice central midfield missing for about a month. WE could have conceded plenty in those games when Saylor was fit as well. We got mullered at QPR, most teams just don't have the finishers to make it count whereas we do. The football has been like this for the vast majority of the season. Packed defence with backs to the wall, flash of brilliance from Ba and a goal from nowhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 OK looking at the quote again then perhaps he means not many players are lucky enough to play for Newcastle and even fewer will be lucky enough to play for us in Europe, with big crowds behind them, etc. I dunno, if he meant it as it reads then it's another shit quote to throw on the pile.

midds Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 It's the whole 'settling' thing that's annoying me still. We get a goal, sometimes 2, and that's it. We've done enough (in Pardew's mind) to win the game so we just settle for seeing the game out by getting bodies behind the ball, keeping our shape and seeing the game out. We invite the pressure and look ragged as fuck by about 75 minutes so we're hanging on for the result. Why can't we just keep hold of the ball, knock it about and go for 3 or 4 and blow teams away? Is it arrogance, thinking we're good enough to soak it up for an hour without conceding or is it cowardice? A manager who is shit scared of losing and is transmitting his fear into his team? Something's not right. Earlier in the season we had nothing to lose and went after teams, home and away, playing 2 wingers and 2 strikers and tried to play football and we were doing quite nicely. Suddenly we hit November and it's all about preserving what we've earned rather than continue doing the things that have got us to such a good position in the first fucking place. Don't understand it. Or him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come off it man, if Kieron Richardson said "The gaffer said last week that not many people get the chance to get into Europe with a club like Sunderland" then I'd laugh my tits off and say "No shit".
