AliGupter Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 How the fuck are you supposed to measure "expectation"? It's easy when you think about it. I personally expected top 12 this season, so we are obviously well on course to smash that, although now if we finished 8th it would be a terrible disappointment. Which brings us onto another criteria, the way expectations change over the course of a season. In 08/09 we're looking at top 10 at the start of the season then by the end 16th would have been well above expectations, although we had 4 different managers during that season so it's hard to judge. Whereas this we've gone from 12th or so to 7th as an expectation which is a huge change really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Bobby To be fair those stats are pretty close together, Robson is only 6% better than Dalglish. Dalglish took over a team that had finished 2nd top and was on target to do the same, he left the club 13th. Sir Bobby took over a team which had just finished 13th and left a team which had just finished 5th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliassenfredrik Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Can you imagine him starting Shola tomorrow. That would be absolutely criminal and perhaps one of the most stupid decisions football has ever seen. I try to tell myself surely this can't happen, but I can actually see it.

M4 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 As was discussed last week, we're not playing particularly well even when we win. Put a better team than the likes of Villa opposite and that's what you get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dontooner Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Aye , But people are excited we are 5th and can get a CL spot. They seem to think what translates on the pitch doesnt matter in the long season. Yatata about the best players being away ignoring how we being performing on the pitch irregardless. The sheer difference between one team that is consistent and playing good football while getting results and Newcastle Hoof and cross to score But cant open teams up in open play. Never a top 4 team tbh just do a proper comparison with the football played on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a better team than the likes of Villa opposite and that's what you get. Nah, we are playing great football all season. I fucking said this couple of days back and got loads of stick. We have been poor but winning. Individual brilliance and luck has won us games. Perch, Danny and Obe should never be playing against Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dontooner Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Honestly speaking, i'm sticking to we have good players winning us games, those who think Pardew got some insightful tactics winning us battles are smoking something. I do in fact give him credit for making us a better defensive unit, but in possession and attacking we have no clue but to cross the ball or put it long.

Beren Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 The repeated high line mistake is thick, just pathologically thick. You wonder just how many goals we have to concede, how big a beating we have to take, before he realises how moronic his system is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
