Alan Pardew

[thomas]

I still like him.

[ponsaelius]

Still not convinced either way. Tbf to him I will say that he seems more and more like a pretty affable fella, but I remain firm that I wont judge his managerial ability until he's had a whole transfer window and season behind him.

This is my thinking on the matter too.

[Jack Flash]

Pardew's consistency worries me slightly. He's basically doing what Hughton did by getting a good result then getting a bad result.

 

This is something he needs to address next season or we'll go no further than we are now.

 

How many bad results have we actually got under Pardew? Can't think of many.

 

Liverpool, Blackpool, Villa, Stoke, Everton, Bolton (maybe), Blackburn, Fulham and Stevenage for one reason or another could be classed as bad/disappointing results.

 

On the flipside, we've had roughly the same amount of good results/performances.

 

If we had won all those we would only be a point behind Arsenal.

 

 

 

I'm not saying we should win every game. Since Pardew took over the best run we've had is 2 wins in a row (against 2 soon to be relegated teams). If we are to kick on next season he'll need to use his computer science magic stuff to get us more than 2 wins in a row.

[Ronaldo]

Clearly not, that's primarily what I was responding to.

 

You don't think the players are good enough despite claiming we've only had 4 bad games in 22.

 

 

What on earth are you going on about now? As i've already said, twice, Pardew's got the best out of his players.

I think better players will be more important.

Actually I think if we are to kick on next season we have to tighten up our home form as we've dropped too many points to teams we should be beating at SJP.

 

To be fair to Pardew I don't really blame him for that as we've only lost 2 at home in 10 under him and 6 of those games have been against teams that will finish in the top 7 so he hasn't had an easy run of it.

 

For the majority of clubs home form is critical so fingers crossed he can continue to make us harder to beat at home.

[Ronaldo]

Old ground, but I still can't believe Blackburn and Blackpool beat us at St James'. And Wigan were about 10 seconds from doing the same.

[Guest]

Aye 8 points gone in those 3 games. Could have made a solid season into a very good one.

[Jack Flash]

Clearly not, that's primarily what I was responding to.

Blame the players for the bad games, praise Pardew for the good games.

 

Now I get it.

I never even mentioned the good ones.

[JH]

It's like you're both having a completely different conversation.

I can't believe we've only lost one game against Manu/Chelsea/Arsenal. I can't believe in 03/04, we only drew with Wolves at home and missed out on 4th.

 

The comments are completely meaningless. Wherever we end up will be justified... just as it was the year we went down having only needed one goal at Villa Park.

[Guest]

More a case of what could have been than owt else really. It applies to all teams but we can't decide what others do. But there's 3 games we should have won ourselves.

[Taylor Swift]

And plenty more we could and should have lost, Blackpool away being a clear example.

[Guest]

Yep and that stat about shots hitting the woodwork going in would have sent us down etc. Also have to take into consideration though would they have had the excuse to sack Hughton had he won those 3 games.

[Guest BooBoo]

I thought Blackpool were barely better than us tbh. Fair enough they hit the post, but did Krul have to make many saves that day? I have to ask as I was quite pissed.

I remember watching that game; can't remember Krul making many saves, but at times it was a siege. You'll have played much better than that this season and lost.

So you're actually saying Pardew got the best out of his players against, for example, Stoke and Villa?

 

That would be up there with your "Pardew speaks the truth most times" nonsense.

Krul didn't make many saves from what I remember like but Blackpool f***ing raped us that game.

Is this you hobby, putting words in my mouth?

 

Just give up, man. You're a confused and biased little boy who can't wait for Pardew to fail. We get it.

[Mick]

 

I just put it down as a freak event.

 

The brilliance of the second half performance balances out the terrible showing in the first.

 

I wonder what changed in the 2nd half.  

[UV]

The fact that no manager ever haven't heard of undersoil heating in this club. No wonder we've had so many injuries. Now pardew has adressed it, and I do bet we will see less injuries during the winter months from next season on.

 

You know who else blamed the training ground surface for injuries....

 

 

I don't recall there being so many injuries in the harder Winter last season, and haven't most of our training ground injuries come post-Winter. The problem with the training ground was that they couldn't use it and had to train indoors, not that they were training on it while frozen.

Yeah, if Souness thought it was a problem then clearly it's a pointless decision to go ahead and actually get the chairman to spend some wedge on wasteful undersoil heating for the lads. Poor show Pardew. Poor show.

[BottledDog]

Another Talk Sport interview where he says that with the squad we had this year it was dificult, but aiming next year to have 20 quality players to allow us to challenge in the cup competitions.
