Chris_R Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Forgot the result. To sum up Alan Pardew's performance last night. = Tactical Mediocrety Mediocre would be, say, putting the right players in the right positions but doing nothing especially clever. Our starting line-up would be best described as "tactical suicide". Almost everyone on here could see that at 19:01 when the teamsheet was announced and we saw the semicolons delineating GK;Defence;Midfield;Strikers that showed us that Cisse was in midfield and Shola fucking Ameobi was up front.

Mick Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 wouldn't you expect the right midfielder to do that at times ? the fact that he was right midfiled is what you should be kicking off at. I agree, that's why I didn't kick off about him being in that position, I just pointed it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh but when I saw the team sheet I think me and alot people was convinced it would be Shola and Cisse upfront and then Marv tiote Anita obertan Yet how did Pardew get the idea it was wise to put Cisse on the wing again and again and again lol He had the chance of obertan Cisse and Marv as front three. Or Cisse upfront on his own with obertan and Marv out wide in midfield, or like I said Cisse and Shola up top, yet Pardew chooses the least logical choice of line up hahahhaa lol Pardew is starting to make me laugh so much with his ineptitude it would be funny if he didnt actually managed us.

prefabtoon Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Pardew seems to suffer from his own personal 'second season syndrome'. It's true that he took W Ham to an FA Cup semi final, but the next season he did his best to get them relegated and was sacked. It's also true that things at Charlton were in a mess when he took over, but he arguably made them worse. He is also the sort of manager that seems to be able to start an argument in an empty room. I think Newcastle would be better off without him, and also without crassness personified, ie. Mike Ashley. But Newcastle just one decent manager away from greatness? YES!

toon25 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 No way back imo. He's bereft of ideas and we've become utterly predictable. 27 months since we came from behind to win a game, bottom of the form table, consistent tactical ineptitude? He's lost me, I'm afraid, and on some of the showings from some of our lot recently he's lost them, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughton - P64 W38 D11 L15 59.38% Pardew - P66 W28 D19 L19 42.42% Sort of stupid comparison for the reasons you already stated..... majority of Hughton's defeats was in the PL and majority of his wins was in the championship. I'm not happy with Pardew either at the moment but lets not go there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The group I was sitting with took the view that Ashley had hung him out to dry over the summer and there was little Pardew could do to turn things around with the players at his disposal. The thing is, even if we do manage to bring in a striker, a CB, Debuchy and, by some miracle a CM I'd still not be confident that Pardew would get us the results we need to avoid a relegation scrap.

Guest Rey Mysterio Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 When you think about it, we're lucky to have as many points as we do. Everton's disallowed goal at Goodison, Cisse's goal off his arse against WBA, both helped paper over cracks at the time but they're wide open for all to see now.

Chris_R Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Getting rid won't solve anything. Hope he can turn it around(and in surprise most of us that he is capable) How long do we keep saying that we hope he can turn it round? I mean, we all do. I don't think anyone cares who is in charge as long as we do well and win. But it's getting ridiculous now and he's showing no signs whatsoever of learning from his mistakes.

Decky Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Wasn't there something a couple of years ago that finishing in the top 10 was a target every season? I wonder if he will be sacked when we finish well away from 10th this season. Despite the mess that is this season, I still fear for next year if Pardew is still here because if we lose some of our better players in the summer and have a team of lesser quality we are definitely going down.
