littlelunchbox Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I've got absolutely no hope for him at all and I don't look forwards to many of our games, if any. I feel the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 What is that anyway, 1 win in our last 9 games, 5 of them being defeats? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 He's the only thing that angered me today. The revert back to 442 and start hoofing is fucking depressing. It solves nothing. It's horrible to watch. It undermines all but two of our outfield players, in this case Ranger and Shola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Another wretched display to add to the list. I have no idea what we do in training. He probably spends the time drafting his excuses for the week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Tonight just underlined how much he relies on our best players to click to get the results. Doesn't have a fucking clue tactically. Not at all worried by the result, btw, just majorly pissed at this 442 nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Tonight was f***ing dire. Everything about it was pure grim, and it doesn't matter if we were through or not, a second win in a row would have went a good way to helping morale. Also looking back, the group stages were a poor effort, we should have been winning that group. Now we've to face either a group winner or CL drop out in February while also playing the first leg at home. Not good. I understand he couldn't risk certain players tonight, but the fringe players we had should be capable of going out there and doing a job against a Bordeaux side which also dropped a lot of big players. The team tonight looked void of any game plan or clue, it was literally just a case of showing up. We may still have had to face a CL drop out even if we won the group! 1st place in the group faces runner up from other group or 1 of 4 CL drop outs, 2nd place in group faces either winner of other group or one of the other 4 CL drop outs!

It's horrible to watch. It undermines all but two of our outfield players, in this case Ranger and Shola. Revert to type, thats all he does, and his obsession with shoe-horning two lanky strikers in a line-up when he finally decides to play 4-5-1/4-3-3 formations. i.e tonight again, Shola and Ranger. before that, Cisse, Best, Ba, Shola being play outwide..,. why the f*** does he keep doing that? Would Bobby play, shearer, kluivert, Cort, Ferguson, or any big type of strikers out on the wings? Would Keegan play, Shearer, Ferdinand, or Cole out wide??? No. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest malandro Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 The disappointing thing was the lack of any recognisable style of play. The young lads should be playing in a way that reflects the future objectives of the club. Their training should be built around a footballing philosophy. We could see a philosophy in Bordeaux's reserve team, we were a mess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all worried by the result, btw, just majorly p*ssed at this 442 nonsense. I'm not bothered in the slightest about the result, it was secondary. What does bother me is the standard of our football. Most of the time our first 11 play poor football then you see a lot of our younger players coming through and playing the same game. We bring players into the club who are supposed to be good, young and hungry players and they put on a performance like we've just produced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 It's the basics that are pissing people off. The passing was horrible when we tried it. We always seemed rushed and never in space and end up surrendering possession easy as fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty much because we saw yet more of the same mistakes from Pardew. They're not mistakes. It's what he likes. He's been doing it since his West Ham days. Big fellas hit long.
