Guest Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I'll always harp back to that Villa away game. We were brilliant, pretty much a 'Graeme Carr' team, and I don't think we saw it again. Krul Debuchy Santon Coloccini Mbiwa Anita Cabaye Sissoko Ben Arfa Remy Cisse Think there was a game not long after, maybe Everton away, and Pardew just ripped that up and instead we had the likes of Williamson & Gouffran starting every week.

Mbiwa had a bad game as he got caught out a couple of times. I think they were 4-1 up at half time. We scored a couple of decent goals by individuals but the whole team was a mess by Pardew.

Wasn't that not the game we were drawing 1-1 and Pardew brought Gouffran on and he scored the winner? The Everton game I think you are referring to would have been a couple of weeks later. Pretty sure it was on Monday night Football. We were 3-0 down at half time but managed to get back to 3-2 although that scoreline really flattered us.

Guest Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 That's it. Even Gouffran was used how he should have been. An attacking substitute. Not a wing-back which he later was transferred into. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 "Benitez devoured information and videos of any possible target and spoke to agents about contract clauses and unhappy players who he might be able to sign. That was not Carr’s way. Benitez wanted control and he wanted the incredible level of detail that has been a symbol of the club’s revival under his leadership in every signing." Move out of the way, Carr. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I didn't mind Carr as a scout, he generally went for players who would improve us technically, but the idea that an old local guy would be in charge of signings above a world class manager like Rafa was always a joke. It worked fine when we had bin men and window fitters in the manager roles, but he had to go once we made a proper appointment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 It seems pointless talking about stuff like this given the situation but I’m not entirely against having a proper scouting networking and someone like Carr responsible for bringing in promising players assuming there can be a balance. We used to invest in young players to develop (albeit to sell on) and left shit managers in charge of them. Then we actually get a world class coach and give him next to nothing, it’s absolute madness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 No Rafa. Not bothered if it’s Alan Carr that comes in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 If we’d had a good owner with Carr at the club 7 years ago then we could have been where Spurs are now. Paying the extra and what was needed to get the likes of Vertonghen, Lacazette, etc over the line. He seemed to have a march on a market 2-3 years before the rest of the league cottoned on and joined in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Before people pipe up with ‘well it was his idea to appoint McClaren’, a good owner wouldn’t have put Carr in a position to have a say in that sort of decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
