TRon Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 As it stands, i'd only want Pardew out of here if i knew we were going to make strides to buy another manager. Preferably somebody from the continent. I don't know who, but i can't think of any managers in this league we'd pay off. Pardew out would probably mean Kinnear in, and I'm not even joking. And what's the difference, would you be so kind to elaborate? Kinnear is shockingly clueless. So is AP. no doubt So what would be the point of changing? It would cost the club money and look stupid to transfer targets. I'm by no means content with Pardew but sacking him is pointless because we won't get anyone better. We only stand to lose. Then don't sack him, but give the job of picking the team to Graham Carr who clearly understands what makes a good footballer. Let Pardew do the interviews, half time team talks and press conferences. Just don't let him anywhere near the team sheet or subs bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 His teams remind me of watching England play most of all. Predictable, unable to keep the ball and easily neutralised Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Feel for him with the Cisse thing - he'll have prepared with Ba in the middle and to lose him on the day of the game makes things very difficult. To accommodate Cisse in middle he'd have had to change the formation from the one which he has prepared the team to play. Utter bollocks of an excuse!! It's not as if Cisse has never played up front ffs! What preparation? Can someone please explain to me how in the hell Ba leaving affected our preparation? It's not like Cisse would have to shoe-horned into a CF role! Fuck me man! I really can't get my head around it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Honestly our tactics all game were a disgrace. 1st half we played so deep we couldn't get out of own half for most of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Amazed at that approach and performance after the way we played in the last two games. I cannot work Pardew out at all. Aye, this for me too. From last season to this, from those away performances to this formation tonight. I don't understand it, seeing as the players still seem to have plenty of fight and respect for him. It's like he's cracking under the pressure of knowing deep down he's not as good as he made us and himself look last season and making foolish decisions as a result of it in the hope it makes him look like some sort of managerial genius.

Varadi Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Didn't think tonight was too bad - we were always likely to lose to Everton with the form they're in and the players we have missing but still managed to create more chances, and with a bit better luck and finishing could have been a draw at least. Things will improve with players returning and coming in - defence for the next league match is likely to be Debuchy - Taylor - Colo - Santon - best back 4 we've been able to put out in years.

Interpolic Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Basically repeating myself here, but if i was Chairman, i'd only sack Pardew if i had the means to poach a really top replacement. This won't be popular... but i do think people are exaggerating when they say we're definitely going down. The situation isn't completely desperate and there are nine points up for grabs now. Again 'if i was Chairman', i'd assess the situation after these next three games. I was starting to regain a bit of faith in him after the last few games in terms of us playing the right way, but he's totally blown my mind tonight. As you say, he's got 3 games to play a 433/4231/whatever and see how we get on. Less than 6 points and he can fuck off IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 There's no disgrace in getting beat off a strong, organised and driven Everton side but ending the game with that 11 containing Ameobi's x 2, Ranger, Willo and a young kid (as talented as he is) in the middle of the park against Fellaini is fucking scandalous.

Tiresias Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 This was the must win game though, and he threw it. It wasn't out of reach, he made some baffling decisions and we couldn't keep hold of the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 realistically the rest of this month will make a lot of minds up. You bothered about the FA Cup? Sadly I'm pretty close to hoping we go out. i was more looking at norwich, reading and villa. before feb brings chelsea and tottenham. Was just a general question.

Darth Crooks Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 ll this shit about working the other team out and playing a system based on it is part of the problem. It may work in one context; although I don't believe Pardew is articulate enough to implement something like that. You could see him mid game trying to desperately switch from one formstion to the other and then flung on banaal and overly late subs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
