Ishmael Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 He's doing a very fine job. in regards to the playing squad. Which is fucking fantastic. All down to his transfer policy now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 6 points from the last 2 instead of 2 would mean that we'd be on 34 with a game in hand over sunderland with 36 and spurs on 37. Done very well so far, shame that we couldnt get the 2nd goal and then got robbed in the final minutes We're never going to compete for a place in Europe with this squad, if that's what you're thinking.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 He's doing very well, I think the last two late goals have been more to do with the players he has to work with than any decisions he's made. He should be showing games like this to Mike Ashley to get him to open the chequebook again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tisd09 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I've been pleasantly surprised. Though if we had lost the past two games I would probably be happy to see an effigy (sp?) of him hanging from the Tyne bridge. Fickle fan alert!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 You would expect the changes would help in that the new players would be less knackered than those going off though. You would, so what is your problem with what Pardew did? And what do you mean by a rash of substitutions? Guthrie was fucked so had to go off. Lovenkrands did well and was a great outlet, and Ranger did a damn sight better than Ameobi when he came on. Have no problem with anything he did today, I though with the players we had, we played fantastically well today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 He's doing a very fine job. this To be fair he had a great team to come in two, already knitted together and playing for each other. He has done well to come in and retain that, but he hasn't really done much to be judged on. Its how he handles these injury crises, players suspended etc and who he plays instead. He also needs to make sure we sign someone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 If he's not getting a new striker in he needs to put his beef with Ranger behind him and start playing him instead of the likes of Lovenkrands off the bench. Other than that he's doing fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I expected 0 points from the last two game and we got 2, very close to 6. He's done a brilliant job so far IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Has only lost to Spurs away and City at Home. Bar the fucking FA Cup game. Great record that like. 7 played 11 points. (should've been 15 points) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually a manager brings on players to tighten things up but the ball was still flying from end to end. I expected us to close them down a bit better with the fresh legs on.

TRon Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Tbf though, one of the players who was probably most gassed was Nolan and we had no midfielders left on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatwax Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 first 7 premiership games in charge: Wins - 3 Draws - 2 Losses - 2 Possible points - 21 Actual points - 11 Not too bad when you look at the cut and dry results. We've lost to Man City & Spurs and beaten Wigan, Liverpool and West Ham. We've also drawn against Spurs and Sunderland. Overall... not a bad start. Fairly steady. Regardless however, I still can't bring myself to like him very much. It doesn't look like we'll be going down unless we totally start to fuck-up over the next 6 games or so. Also, we seem to have been getting a ridiculous amount of injuries since he's popped up. You could say it's the fixture list, but we played more games last reasons more regularly and it wasn't this bad. Bit strange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Yep, need to keep the context of the results in mind. Solid job.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 A few of our big players back and a couple of good buys in the summer and I'll be confident we can kick on. Though really how much higher can we kick on? Liverpool will never be this bad again so 7th is pretty much our standard for the next 2 or so years.
