Guest thenorthumbrian Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Pardews's teams fail when it matters. Out of the cups against weaker opposition and not performing in many of the league games when it really counts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I think Pardew will eventually come up short, and is showing a fair few signs of ineptitude. But right now, he's got us to 6th in the league, an thus he deserves a whole fucking host of slack. Even if there are worrying signs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Today's match quite clearly shows his "priority" of choices: Raylor>Santon>HBA But the worst point is, Simpson is above them ALL. WTF. Is that due to his contract negotiation status!? Yep, Simpson is playing the start me every game or I wont just threaten to sign and extension I will sign and extension, card.

jimmymag Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 In his interview with BBC Newcastle he said he might play HBA against the Arse after "his best 45 minutes for us". He didn't think HBA would cope with the physicality of first half, but did say that he may have made the wrong call. Here's hoping! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 That ludicrous Liverpool forum takes some beating, but a supposed 'admin' who calls a manager who has us 6th an 'idiot' and 'fraud' - and is poised with bile every single time we drop points pushes them pretty close.

How can you be 'supposed admin'.. You either are or you're not. If you come on ito critique our critiscm of pardew, fine, we can get down to the specifics of his ineptitude. But dont come in here and make such baseless generailzations that add nothing to the conversation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Pardews's teams fail when it matters. Out of the cups against weaker opposition and not performing in many of the league games when it really counts. Every time we talk up a game we come short, Brighton game after a big productive break in Tenerife, the S[urs game where we were up for the challenge, then the Wolves game where we would avenge the Spurs defeat and today the much hyped up derby. We desperately need someone with some knowledge of tactics added to our coaching set up. I can see us coming away with no wins from the next five games. We will get beaten at Arsenal, struggle against Norwich at home, struggle at West Brom, lose against liverpool then struggle against Swansea away.

I think today was the clearest evidence yet that we've got to this position down to the players rather than any management nous from Pardew. He's a good cheerleader though so I suppose he can take some credit for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Got to make some changes sharpish. I still back him but the first half performance lies solely at his door. the point is how many shit first 45 mins have we had? iv lost count. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I like Pardew and I'm desperate for him to succeed, but if he can't see that we're a far better side when attacking from the off then he's not doing himself any favours. That first half was shocking - needs to get us going before the Arse game, especially with their comical defending of late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Pardew's a likeable character and the players do play for him which is one of his big pluses. If he would just stick to geeing the lads up and not do any actual management I think we'd look a lot better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's really been sussed out, and our form is dire for the rest of the season, then we can question whether he's the right guy to take us forward. Right now we're 6th, and if we stay there, he deserves a medal, and I don't give a shit if he's just 'a good cheerleader'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 If he deserves criticism for the awful first half (or first 35 mins), then he also deserves praise from the way he put it right in the 2nd half. I thought we were tremendous from the first whistle of the 2nd half. All the subs made an impact, and on another day we would have won. All in all a mixed day for AP, but he's done far more right this season than he's done wrong. He just needs to lose this negative approach at the start of games. What about the negative approach in the second half of games? See Wolves last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 can we stop talking about what he does in the second half when we play s***. pardew having to correct his own mistakes time after the time is nothing to be lauded at. more often or not its too little and too late.
