nufc4eva Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 It's a sad day when I feel compelled to stick up for Pardew Maybe he just means he's added defensive solidity. Chances are Debuchy hasn't been involved in an attacking training session yet I think it's supposed to be an encouraging quote that he's defending well/doing his primary job etc ...I've fallen into the trap of taking what Pardew says even remotely seriously though, so shame on me. Or Pards is pissed off that he wants to actually attack as well as defend and is trying to get him to not cross half way - most likely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Its a nothing meant comment, we look at it because Pardew drivels so often it almost a sport now. Good pro, our wingers getting nothing from him. Good, i rather like the sound of a solid defender after watching Simpson for the last 6 months.

Mr. Snrub Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Chris Ford @ChrisFordTV AP on Debuchy's 1st week "he's not pulling up trees, just a good pro, a few of our wide players haven't got much joy out of him" #NUFC Not pulling up trees, 2/10, get rid. In other words he didn't hoof it into oblivion every time the ball came near him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Well, if he's trying to bed Debuchy into the team and trying to instil his footballing values - that might not be too far off the mark, nufc4eva - (not sure if you're being facetious). Our main problem according to Pardew will be our leaky defence. He will get Debuchy to focus on getting the basics right first, I imagine. (ie. nothing fancy, just defending!)

Good pro, our wingers getting nothing from him. Good, i rather like the sound of a solid defender after watching Simpson for the last 6 months.

Benwell Lad Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Maybe he used "trees" so it could be used as yet another stick for his detractors to beat him with, even in one of the only positive threads left on here. BTW are there any threads remaining which haven't yet descended into predictable boring "Pardew's shit" type stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm pretty sure he just doesn't understand what the expression means and thinks he's saying that Debuchy hasn't been causing any commotion, just getting on with things like a good pro. He probably thought he was paying Debuchy a compliment, the cabbage. The man says "we was" for fuck sake, we can hardly expect him to use idioms correctly.

"Mathieu, see those trees 60 yards away, every time the ball comes near you, hit them" Debuchy had the audicity to ignore this and tried to pass the ball, which has angered Pardew.

And probably why players find him an ok manager, strange but you don't find many players slating him.

afar Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I worry that people will assume that he is the silver bullet for us and be disappointed that a right back can't turn our season fully around. It'll need more than him to get us out of this shit we are in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll need more than him to get us out of this shit we are in. I think everyone with half a brain realises it will take another few bodies and a manager with a different philosophy for things to completely change. But upgrading Simpson for a top class right back like Debuchy is a very good start and at least progress. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 It's been said before but just look how much Bains effects Everton, now I'm not saying I expect Debuchy to be anywhere near Bains' level, but a quality player in a full back position cannot be underestimated. Santon was probably our best player for the first quarter and a bit of this season, and tbh I expect Debuchy to be better than Santon at this point.

I kinda get where you're coming from but several thousand posts demanding/requesting/hoping for a new centre half and striker probably contradict that.

Ste Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I think he's just trying to take the weight of expectation off Debuchy. Most fans rate him very highly, which is something Pardew will be aware of. Don't think he's worded it or phrased it in the right way, he's just trying to take some pressure off.
