Flip Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Gonna be one hell of a pardy if we win on Sunday. Sure will, but hope we dont win with a last minute own goal. Really hope we batter them so I can get back on Pardews side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 So Kadar can play 90 minutes of international football against Bulgaria, but wasn't better equipped in a CB role than James Perch against Norwich? [/still bitter!] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 It's Hungry, they're hardly brimming with international talent. Just because he gets a game for his national side doesn't mean he's PL standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Are we actually using the absence of an untested youngster who's attitude is in question as a stick to beat Pardew with? I'm pretty certain there are larger more troubling branches out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yeah, let's use the untested Frenchmen whose attitude/fitness is coincidentally also in question instead. Edit: That Kadar seems a right hell-raiser, like: http://www.teamtalk.com/premier-league/7357691/Kadar-hopes-for-rare-action Couldn't work with him! Pah.

junkhead Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I watched Kadar yesterday. He seemed surprisingly comfortable at left back. Looked to get forward often, combined well with Dzsudzsak and made three very good crosses. Didn't think he has that in him tbh and that's something that we've lacked all season from LB. Wasn't really tested defensively, although their centre-backs struggled at times with the high defensive line. Was calm under pressure and composed on the ball, nobody will convince me that he'd do worse than Simpson/R.Taylor/Perch, if given a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11678/7558687/Pardew-Next-six-games-are-key Alan Pardew believes Newcastle's next six Premier League games will determine whether they are serious contenders for a European spot this season. The Magpies have proved the surprise package of the top-flight this term, with 12 wins from 26 games, playing what the manager describes as a "fast brand of front-foot football", leaving them sixth in the table heading into the business end of the campaign. Pardew's men remain firmly in the running for a Europa League spot, while the Champions League is not beyond their reach with fourth-placed Arsenal just three points ahead. But the manager insists he will wait to see where Newcastle are after their next six encounters, which include a trip to Emirates Stadium and a visit of Liverpool, before turning his attention to the European places. "We are not focused on that," Pardew told The Telegraph. "We are focused on the next six games because if we are in the running for a top six place in six games' time then we will really give it a go - whether that's the Europa League or even the Champions League. "But the next six games are key. Now is the time when the top teams get into gear, so are we going to get into gear?" The presence of key players such as striking ace Demba Ba and midfield stars Yohan Cabaye and Cheick Tiote has proved crucial in Newcastle's successful campaign. But after losing talismanic Andy Carroll to Liverpool last winter, Pardew knows keeping hold of his top players could be a struggle. "If I can keep the same group of players I wouldn't worry [about raising expectations]," he added. "But will I be able to keep my best team? "We are vulnerable to bigger clubs and you can't get away from that with the salaries they offer." Pardew's next test with Newcastle comes at home to Sunderland, who have enjoyed a resurgence under manager Martin O'Neill to sit ninth in the table, 10 points behind the Toon. The Magpies boss knows bragging rights are at stake in Sunday's derby but insists finishing above the Black Cats is not a priority. Progress He said: "They are probably looking at our results and we are looking at theirs but it's not about Newcastle finishing above Sunderland. "For me, it's about finishing higher than we did last year, to progress and have a great season." Pardew hailed the work Sunderland counterpart O'Neill has done at the Stadium of Light since taking charge last December, adding: "He's done an unbelievable job. "I saw him a couple of times in a social environment before he went to Sunderland and I thought he looked ready to return. Taking the job has inspired him."

Dr Venkman Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Another Pardew interview.....another set of musings about losing our best players. We get it Alan, shut the fuck up. Funnily enough one of our best players is on the bench every week while Ryan Taylor and Obertan get games, there's quite a lot you can do to keep a hold of that one.

Beren Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Fast brand = Danny Simpson forced inside by the opponent midfielder who narrows the pitch and makes him check back on to his unfavoured left foot. Nervously plays it back across to Williamson who disposes of the ball like a hot potato straight to Krul who launches it long. Headed back by the opposition straight to Santon, who also has to check inside and surges into the middle with a decent run before passing out wide to Gutierrez who beats his man… but must also check inside on to his favoured right-foot… by which time his marker is back with him. He plays it back to Tiote, who sprays it out to HBA under pressure.. but he’s on his right foot *sigh* somehow however, he wriggles through two players stretching the opponent defence.. and he’s created some space for Simpson to run into behind the full-back too… and HBA finds him! Danny Simpson crosses first time… it’s a lofted ball. Plucked out of the air with comfort thirty seconds later. Ben Arfa HAULED off. Masterplan rejoices.

Parky Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 "There has also been a change of style on the pitch. “We are more in control of games,” Pardew says. “ Last year we had nous and experience, this year we have looked the dominant force at times. Man Utd was the pinnacle of that.” I don't think we are at all. The majority of the games we've been battling to stay in them/hold onto a lead etc.. There have been 5 min patches here and there where we have played well and often scored during these phases. I think overall he's performed well...But I don't think we've ever been in control of more than a handful of games for any period. He's in full PR drive. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/9116173/Newcastle-United-manager-Alan-Pardew-has-silenced-critics-to-sell-vision-of-fast-brand-of-front-foot-football.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
