It might have been Hatem was being protected (the hamstring)....But bringing on Shola instead of Marv who has been playing really well lately...Just ming boggling. First thing Shola did was give a free kick away and the second thing he did was fall over the ball. :lol:

 

He'll always go for the more direct option whenever it's feasible to do so. Until Marveaux makes himself undroppable like Ben Arfa did he'll spend most of his time on the bench.

Pardew hates flair man! It scares him!

 

The guy was a bargain basement clogger. He can only handle one flair player per game. Even with Ben Arfa he's constantly itching to take him off.

 

The guy is a flat out loser.

We had what, at most 15 minutes combined of good attacking football? We still couldn't find our strikers with the crosses and Hatem had to just go on a ego-trip for us to get a goal.

 

This season will give you medical issues if you don't already have any with that man in charge.

Also going on about cutting out the sloppy defending, yes Pards but why not talk about the fact that time and time again we can't be positive and play front foot football (A Pardism) and can't open teams up. Concentrate more on hurting the other team and you may find the rest falls into place. Don't be fucking scared of what teams like Fulham, Southampton, Swansea, West Ham can do to you - just fucking get at them

I notice he managed to have a dig at Ben Arfa for looking off pace first half. What about Jonas Pardew you horrible c***

 

it's not a dig , that is just him trying to justify taking him off.

 

Problem is he seem oblivious to the shit we are seeing and thinks we are playing half decent, the blokes mental tbh

Pardew loves Jonas.

 

How the hell does Jonas play 90 mins today?

 

Lord give me strength!

 

All because he tracks back? Well that's just great, except he's th eone giving the ball away everytime.

 

The guy is worthless out wide. Utterly and completely. For 90 mins Pardew couldn't see this.

 

Instead he was waiting with baited breath for the 60 mins mark so he could yank off Ben Arfa because he was 'off the pace'.

 

My God!

Thing is, as much as anyone wants him gone, the alternatives probably won't be worth it. We'd have to pay off Pardew and then buy a manager from another club, to make a switch even vaguely worth it. It's not going to happen. If we're in the bottom three in April, Ashley might then consider binning him and appointing someone short-term.

Paying off Pardew is a lot cheaper than getting relegated I suspect.

We did try to get at them, sadly in Pardew's book hoofing is the best way to get at the oppositions.

Even if Pards is playing him because he tracks back we are getting opened up time and time again with Tiote or Perch or Jonas or anyone in the team. Whatever he is trying is just not working

We actually had our best spells when Anita etc were allowed to keep the ball on the floor. Unfortunately we ultimately end up hoofing it when you bring Ben Arfa off for Shola (Jesus wept :() - I just don't understand why our managers time and time again can not see what the rest of the population can see

Life time supply of pie and liqour should do it

Funny thing is after this, the way Pardew's mind works, he'll be even more obsessed about being more solid and defensive.

 

We'll probably start with Perch, Tiote, Anita, Bigi, Williamson and Coloccini next game.

 

All our problems however, stem from a toatal inability to keep decent possession, and have any clue going forward.

Now I hope people can shut up about playing 4-5-1 / 4-3-3

 

again we tried it today for the first half,  with only one man up top in Ba we try to hoof it to him.

 

No matter what formation, Pardew will not cut out hoofs.

 

 

 

I think the main problem is shoe horning Cisse in on right, he in no way can play anywhere but up top but Pardew insists on playing both of them, much better throwing Marveux out left and Ben Arfa there. It's the most baffling thing to put this square peg in a round hole, Cisse does not have the touch, dribbling or pace to play wide. It's just not his game strange

Tbh I would be quite up for him starting Tiote, Anita and Bigi in there and dropping Jonas
