arnonel Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 In the last 450 minutes of football we've conceded just one goal - the calamitous mix up between Williamson and Krul at West Brom. Top stuff, that. We've scored ten in the same period. Pards: Very impressive indeed. not that impressive, we haven't played anyone yet. Good point, when we keep a clean sheet against Everton at Goodison then we know we are doing something right. Until then though its just a fluke. even then, who've we played really ? Stop being such a WUM ! We beat Norwhich - Who just beat Spurs We beat Liverpool - Who beat Arsenal, Chelsea We beat West Brom - Who beat Chelsea We beat Swansea - Who beat Man City We beat Bolton - Who beat Liverpool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooonDoom Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Wherever we end up this year well done pardew. He's not without faults but what has really impressed me is: Not falling out with players ( should be a given but take note souness and keegan) Making players earn a place on the pitch. Players know if they earn it and do well they keep it. Taylor, perch, Simpson all playing above themselves due to this. His control of Ben arfa. Again he made him earn his place on the pitch. Look what we have now. Not allowing a negativity to take over when decisions/player loss went against us. How we performed during the African nations and when players picked up knocks has been outstanding. Carroll out cisse in. I was gutted when Carroll left even at 35 million. Over the moon now! Not convinced how much of these were him mind. Keeping control of his strop when we did not get a striker in the summer. Thank you pardew for allowing us to enjoy our football again and put all the protest/negativity/ownership issues behind us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 In regards to HBA, all arguments aside he is now fucking awesome when coming back to help out in defence. Tenacious enough to win the ball and sheer quality to work his way out of danger like a boss. He should spend most of his game attacking but when he does come back to help out I can't think of an occasion where he hasn't come away with it.

Tiresias Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 As someone who has been at times incredibly pissed off with Pardew this season, I do have to accept some humble pie, I had resigned myself to him not having a plan B for adapting the team from a rigid 4-4-2, but he has pulled it off. Credit where it's due, it takes some confidence to shift Ba to the left for the sake of a new player, changing a winning formula shows both guts and nous. The premier league punditry tends to divide it's managers into two categories, the nerdy tactics type, exemplified by Wenger and the keep it simple motivator, typified by Redknapp. Both these are quite inaccurate really, think Wenger has shown plenty of ability to motivate teams sometimes (other times his teams just seem to lose it though, seems very odd one, think he's maybe too nice to players often). Think Mancini is showing probably more of a head in the tactical tinkering without actually man managing very well at all, equally never seems to have settled on a system. Redknapp is also maybe never given enough credit, he does actually try more than 4-4-2, Spurs have tried 3 at the back this season, but he generally is a manager who wants to let his players dictate where and how they play, which leads to all kinds of useless central runs from Bale who can be exemplary on the wing, is no Messi who can dance past defenses from deep in midfield, or pass it past them. Ferguson of course is the complete manager, great motivator but also tactically astute. Dogleash is the complete opposite, no motivation, no plan. Anyway moving on to Pardew, think he's a bit difficult, at times felt he was going on motivation alone, others on tactics alone, but seems to fit somewhere pleasingly in the middle. He's got the whole squad fired up at a perfect time to rescue us from what was a slump into being the form team of the league behind only Man U, and maybe Arsenal. Not only that he's rearranged the system simultaneously, got players playing out of position well, and we still operate at a unit. There are still questions over the slumps, but our position now. Nothing typifies this approach more than his treatment of Ben Arfa, not has he man managed him into being committed, working for the team and playing very well, he has him out of his favored position doing so. I retract embarrassing previous comments about looking around for someone new in the summer (think it was wolves game that really rather irritated me), he still has us playing ugly football at times, but there are signs of improvements developing and coming to a head at end of season. Next season if he can maintain the form of Cabaye Ben Arfa and Cisse we could be enjoying some very good footy. Things for next season: Rotate the squad to cope with Europe (if we get in) effectively If we don't lets get a competent cup run going this time? If we keep him get more reliable performances out of Tiote all season Sort out the Ba Cisse problem even if it means plenty of rotating them, though not convinced at all that can't play together) Get some of the good youngsters into the team. Want to see Abeid and Ferguson more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
