Guest neesy111 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 How many goals did we have on the pitch when Best went off? None. I don't blame him for shutting up shop. I seem to remember us conceding quite a few last minute goals last season as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dontooner Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 We are quite solid defensively, and could keep a good shape which keeps teams from openly breaking us down...however 1/3 of this comes from Colo's Individual composure and reading of the game therefore its important we have him here for at least another 2 seasons. Pardew has worked out a good defensive unit that has players covering one another but on the attacking side, he is still an average or slightly below average Premiership Manager which has some good individual players winning games for him. Attacking wise he has not impress me at all, the team just isnt fluid enough in the last third in open play, lots to be improved on that front. Hopeful there is space for Pardew to learn and improve the attacking style of the team rather than his static 4-4-2 system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest taps01 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 For me more often than not he gets it tactically right. I have to say I didn't realise he was this good a manager. He carries himself very well in front of the press also which is nice after having to put up with the likes of Big fat Sam and JFK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 How many goals did we have on the pitch when Best went off? None. I don't blame him for shutting up shop. And how many points have we dropped this season after taking the lead? Very few. Liverpool is the only one that springs to mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'm glad he used the Cabaye injury as an excuse to change things early on instead of bringing on like-for-like, because we looked dreadful in the opening 10-15 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 The first 20 mins was a result of the same attitude to the Liverpool game tbh. It's a trait of Pardew's I dislike but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt while he picks up results. The time to worry would be next season if we've got better players but still put out teams to try and stop the likes of QPR scoring at St James'.

TRon Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 How many goals did we have on the pitch when Best went off? None. I don't blame him for shutting up shop. I agree he got that bit right. I think we might have to take this attitude into other games this month as I don't see us scoring many so it won't be a bad idea to just stay solid and hope for a bit of magic from someone like Be Arfa. Take Shola out of the side though FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Let's face it, 6th position at this point is dreamland stuff, and Pardew deserves massive credit. All the rest is detail. Lovenkrands is part of a strikeforce that has scored 'x' amounts of goals this season to help fire us up to sixth, and deserves massive credit. All the rest is detail.

thedudeabides Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Let's face it, 6th position at this point is dreamland stuff, and Pardew deserves massive credit. All the rest is detail. Exactly, he's done an incredible job given the lack of resources and small squad at his disposal, it's hard to think of another manager who could have done a similar job. I find the Ben Arfa hysteria cringeworthy as he's only produced the odd flash of brilliance in lots of mediocrity since he arrived. Yesterday however was different, he played as a team player, worked his stones off and his all round contribution in the game was excellent. That is the player he can become and maybe Pardew's hard line attitude with him is justified? I'd be very surprised if he doesn't start our next few games.
