Nobody Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 That's a 9.9/10. The 0.1 is obviously for bringing Perch on, though I suppose it's nice to give the opposition a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Tactically perfect tonight. Players play for him too,no doubt. Happy to say I was wrong about him. This is very impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 He's won me over, didn't think I'd ever say that when he got appointed. Dealing with Stoke at their ground is a feat not many teams have achieved this season. Agreed. Doing a fantastic job, don't mind admitting I was wrong on his appointment. Still unsure on some of his subs but that seems to be a common theme with managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Superb tactics really. Focused on countering them & defended nearly everything superbly considering how many shite throws they play for. Class stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Wish I'd got a screencap of his hair, so I could put him into a "There's something about Pardew" poster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I'll admit that I was one of many that doubted him when he was first appointed, but he's done nothing other than prove me wrong so far. Got it spot on tonight as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Made the exact right tactical choices in the second half. They weren't fun choices, but they were the right ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Got it spot on tonight, completely blocked off their wide play (made easier by them shrinking the pitch ;D ) and forced them to try and play it through the middle, barely any crosses came into the box from open play. Our defence and keeper were completely ready for their set pieces. Didn't conceed too many dangerous free kicks either. A less confidant manager might have stuck 5 in midfield and left 1 up front, which may have killed our ability to score. Was a bit worried after he got out thought and lucked out vs Wigan, Pardew got this spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Excellent stuff. He's rebuilt this team and deserves a fantastic amount of credit. Got it right yet again tonight and his players are running through walls for him. Can't ask any more of him or his squad. Superb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Perch was lucky not to get a red card for that horrible tackle. Pardew is proving me wrong, top performance again. Just hope the likes of Ben Arfa and Marveaux aren't getting too frustrated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope the likes of Ben Arfa and Marveaux aren't getting too frustrated. Not really, it wasn't that bad. I know Perch is shite, but he actually did alright today. I thought Pardew was right not to expose HBA in particular to this match at that point in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Can't fault him tonight. Struggling to fault him at all this season really. We're three points clear in third, we've got the best defence in the league, we're scoring goals, we're playing decent stuff, we look hard to beat and we have a team spirit which looks even tighter than last year - with a 'never say die' attitude. fucking astonishing we're this far on at the point, and he deserves credit for that. Especially for someone who I couldn't have hated more when he was appointed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Nice little moment when Best was subbed, Pardew directing Leon's attention to the crowd who were chanting his name. Stuff like that makes it easy to see why the players are playing with so much confidence under him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
