Dave Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I'm now at the point where I find most of the shit he comes out with pretty amusing tbh. We all know he's here for the long term so I don't really think it makes much difference what he says either way. We just need to hope that the board backs him/Carr in the transfer market (pfft) and that he stumbles upon the right formula again sometime soon.

Then again if his ability as a manager is as limited as i think now, it wont matter, as he wont be able to change anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Sounds like a massive disagreement so far...... Complaining about playing long ball is nothing. Means a lot to me, Long ball is what i hate most, along with diving in football. Hope the players have had a right go. long ball is ok in moderation, it's the way we been going on about it, counting out the last handful of games, it's just been launch after launch like 90 percent of long balls its only so much the players and the fans can take when there's no rewards whatsoever from it, and the fact it's taken Pardew this long to make changes is alarming to say the least.

I think "stumbles upon" is a fair summary tbh, since he's been actively playing against the team's strengths for much of the season. Stop acting like people won't give him credit where it's due, we're all willing him to play the right side and to do well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got us knee deep in a relegation battle man, you needn't trip over yourself to try and defend him.

Agree like, my worry has always been that if he sees this squad as a squad that would be suited to long ball, then we really should be worried, he must be mental to even think it, let alone use it as our one and only tactic.

Hanshithispantz Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 1 line from Dave proves that Pardew will always get stick? If he "stumbles upon" a formula that works and then keeps the momentum going he'll get the credit he deserves. No doubt about that at all. At the minute though he's showing that he takes far too long to adjust to new formulas/styles of play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 His favoured formation is 442 direct. I can see how our better players have had enough of it. Ba has said it along with Cabaye and Hatem said it last year (It's in my sig). For Ba to say it on French telly it means the 'debate' in the dressing room is pretty far gone. Imagine a player at another PL club criticising the team/managers style of play on telly? He'd be dropped for a month. Ba got to take the freekicks.

littlelunchbox Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/it-ends-in-hugs-for-pardew-and-coloccini--but-not-for-harry-8430623.html Indy has something about it. After a spat with his captain, Alan Pardew was keen to build bridges, but it was more about burning them for Harry Redknapp and several members of his Queen's Park Rangers squad. Both men were nothing if not candid in the aftermath of a 1-0 home win for Newcastle United that brought a halt to the visitors' mini-revival and, Newcastle will hope, provide the kick-start their season desperately requires. When a manager is happy to reveal a falling-out with his captain, it often means an irrevocable breakdown in the relationship. Yet the very public display of olive branch-waving between Pardew and Fabricio Coloccini suggested anything but. Redknapp's damning post-match critique of the over-inflated pay levels of some of his players makes a reconciliation rather more difficult. There is unlikely to be the kind of bear hug enjoyed by the Newcastle duo after the final whistle when it comes to Harry and some of his more well-remunerated individuals, whom he accused of earning money under false pretences, such has been their lack of input so far this season. It's safe to assume Jose Bosingwa won't figure greatly in Redknapp's future plans. There's rather more bonhomie at Newcastle, where, after their differences, it was a case of friends reunited. "There was a reason for going on the pitch at the end of the game to see Colo," Pardew said, after Shola Ameobi's first Premier League goal for nine months allowed Newcastle to deliver on their rather ill-advised comment that this was a must-win game. "Colo was a bit upset. It was a very little thing – if it was more serious I would say so. It was important I went on to embrace him in that way." The manager wouldn't go into detail; suffice to say that the differences were the result of six defeats in seven league games before some tentative steps on the road to redemption were taken courtesy of inflicting on Redknapp a first defeat since he took charge at Loftus Road. "I said to Colo before the game, we're both winners, we're allowed to fall out," added Pardew, after his animated post-match clinch with the South American. "We fell out this week and we're entitled to do that, as the captain and the manager. It was just a silly little thing and I know he was determined to get the result today. "Before the game, I said to him: 'Be our leader, be a captain and make sure they don't get a sniff of a goal'. When you ask someone to do a job and they do it, it's only right you pay your respects to them. You fall out with players all the time as a manager, because if not you're not doing your job. Sometimes I have to say what I think is right – even your most senior players can disagree with it. I have no problem with that. "He was never off my Christmas card list because it wasn't me who had the problem. In any walk of life you have to be a man sometimes and admit when you're wrong and also pay your respects when someone does something right and I thought Colo was absolutely brilliant." It was a fair summation. The visitors hardly had a shot in anger, but for a Djibril Cissé effort early in the second half, in stretching their winless run on Tyneside towards 20 years. Pardew earned the displeasure of the locals for his second-half substitutions that finally shook Newcastle from their stupor. The derision that met the withdrawal of Papiss Cissé, who took a little persuading to shake his manager's hand, was soon overtaken by a rather more positive reaction when his replacement Ameobi produced a confident, close-range finish to seal a tense contest. Sylvain Marveaux, who teed up the winner for his fellow substitute, twice came close to embellishing the margin of victory, which would not have flattered the hosts, given their dominance of the final 25 minutes. "At times, it was like the Alamo," Ryan Nelsen, the QPR captain, confessed. "I swear I heard the horns and the cavalry coming." The New Zealander and his centre-back partner Clint Hill were exempted from Redknapp's withering post-match criticism, but not Bosingwa, the Portuguese midfielder, who has been fined two weeks' wages – £130,000 – for refusing to sit on the bench last week. "That's not a bad amount to earn for two weeks' work, is it?" Redknapp said. "There are players here earning more than anyone was when I was at Tottenham. There are a lot of players earning far too much money for their ability and for what they give to the club." A five-point gap to safety is by no means insurmountable, especially with gritty characters like Nelsen in the camp, but Redknapp may have trouble moving on some of his unwanted high earners to create room for manoeuvre in January. Nelsen added: "St James' Park is one of my favourite places, especially with the rain lashing down, the wind biting and the passionate crowd. That's what English football is all about. Maybe I'm just old and sentimental." Seriously, more look-at-me-style management again from Pardew the self promoting arrogance of his , winds me up no ends. Basically reading between the lines he wants everyone to know he had a word with Colo before the game to shore up the defence and it worked so Pardew is a genius , just like how his post match interview he wanted people to know that his subs worked magnificently whilst ignoring the fact he put the wrong side out in the beginning. Bet there was hardly that much drama between Colo and Pardew, but he had to let everyone know about it to spice up the interview, give me a break Pardew, this is really just desperate stuff and completely unnecessary.
