TRon Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Worth noting it looks like Man Utd will probably be the first side to match or beat our tally in 2002 of 33 points gained from losing positions. Bobby's side was fucking incredible man. Bobby put a lot of emphasis on energy and pace. I don't know the stats from that season but I'll bet we won a lot of points away from home. Dyer, Bellamy and Robert used to cut teams apart on the break. Add that to Speed and Shearer's threat from set pieces with some craft from Solano and we had a pretty potent mix.

I said this a while back, but that front 6 is my 'template' for building a good side and probably always will be. Such a fantastic, functional and exciting balance.

BlueStar Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11661/8460856/ Newcastle manager Alan Pardew is urging his side to adopt a cup final mentality as they strive to move away from the Premier League relegation zone.

Wullie Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 We need to work our way into form, not treat every game like a cup final. No wonder the players look so bloody terrified in second halves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Ah that old cliché; every game is a cup final. Rodgers & Lambert came out in the last couple of days with it, guess Pardew thinks its time for him to say similar. Shame we're like a shitting dog in every cup game we play.

Kanji Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Bobby's front 6 was supposed to be shored up with Woodgate joining but his injury record + Madrid transfer meant it never would have worked out for us. Had we put investment like we have today in our back 4 into Bobby's team we could have won the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't do that man, we're even worse in cups than we are in the league I'd say the problem is that we do play like it's a cup final total chaos as soon as we go ahead.

KaKa Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Really wish the media hadn't gone on and on about the number of French players. Think Pardew is going to keep forcing Taylor into the lineup because of it, as some kind of way to prove we still have English players. I have a solution ... but it will never happen!
