Stuy_O Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Tbh im lost myself. Paranoid we could go down in current form under him yet don't see any other viable option to replace him. Nightmare. I think the Norwich game is key, lost that then you will start to see the away followers (or some) turn imo, a big indicator of lost trust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Tav is better at CB IMO but he is nowhere near ready in any position and if we don't buy a CB we are a f*cking joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I get the feeling that Cisse at the focal point of a 4-3-3 will turn our fortunes around and he'll try and claim credit for it, despite it being glaringly obvious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Personally I'd give Pardew the rest of the season with a view to sacking him in the summer. We'll get first teamers back and hopefully end up somewhere around 12-15th. Pardew has already shown why he should be sacked this season, with his inability to change a game and blind-alley tactics. Give a young (ish) new(ish) manager a whole summer to get in who he wants, hope for something better than this next season. Tend to agree with this. In regards to the long term I think he's shown he's not the guy we need, even if he does turn around our form in the short-term. Whatever happens, barring the incredibly unlikely scenario of winning a trophy, bin him. In the short-term it's a bit more complicated - I think we'd benefit from a new manager coming in and freshening things up, giving us a honeymoon period. Would love to see us go for Martinez as it would be a mouth-watering prospect to see what he does with HBA, Cisse, Marveaux, Cabaye etc. But any rash appointment and we could end up with someone just as bad or worse, and it might start the same snowball effect we had during the last relegation season. It being the transfer window complicates things further. I also don't relish the prospect of a new manager coming in and having to learn all the things every NUFC fan already knows in regards to things like Williamson being awful, Ben Arfa and Cisse's best roles, 4-3-3 vs 4-4-2, what's going wrong with Tiote, Jonas being useless etc. new managers often stick with the big names when they first arrive, especially if the team's not doing well.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 And despite it being something that should have happened 4 months ago (Cisse in the middle of a forward 3). Ironically Demba Ba would probably still be here too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I think those who want him sacked are genuinely fearing for our survival. This set of bad results started with the likes of Ben Arfa, Cabaye in the team as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 All matches since November: http://i.imgur.com/zSGLg.png Indefensible. Still makes me sick all these years later Sir Bobby getting sacked because of "results" in fucking august after finishing 4th, 3rd, and 5th the years before. Any other manager would have been sacked after the run we've been on/currently on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 -The only manager in the Premier League not to have won an away game all season in any competition -Never won a game in which we've gone behind at any stage -Lost 10 of the last 12 games -Lost more than half of our league games this season -Has not imprinted a style of play or formation on the club from the first team downwards -Seemingly unable (or unwilling?) to work with any thing other than his first choice 11 All very worrying to me. Especially as we don't seem to be able to keep our first choice 11 on the pitch at all this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikri Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Expected them to sit back but it didn't happen. Not everyone has the same mentality as you Pards. Expected the team, playing in front of their own fans, the team that put us out of the cup last season to look at our weakened line up and to sit back? Did he assume that they hadn't watched some of our recent games where any team that harassed our players would win the ball 90% of the time, or force the ball back to our keeper to punt it out of possession again? Is he for fucking real? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Chopping and changing managers got us into a freefall once before.. The recent record may not be great (and that's an understatement) but continuity works, we've had a above average number of injuries for what is a very small squad as well with a large amount of chopping and changing. Let's get the senior players back into the match-day squad and see how we do over the next month or so. It's far from ideal, but right now all we need are 3 teams worse than us. This season is a right off already for me, so anything above 17th is a decent bonus. We're going to be continually shite if he stays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 His whole mentality when chasing a game is the problem there. When in trouble he resorts to more and more hoofball out of desperation. It never works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 The worry I have is the longer he stays, the more disillusioned our best players will get, and start to look for ways out. Despite our position, Cabaye, Ben Arfa and Colo (to name a few) are top class players, and we need a top class manager to get the best out of them and keep hold of them. Alan Pardew is to management what Mike Williamson is to defending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
