Mick Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I though that he'd screw up with his half time team talk again but we came back from it if he did. He even changed the game in our favour when he brought Marveaux on because I thought Marveaux gave us something different going forward when we could have settled for the draw. Well done Pardew, you've shown some balls and we've benefited from it for a change. He also picked Taylor and Jonas and both paid off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Everyone involved in the setup today deserves a lot of praise for that performance. Fair play Alan, fair play Can't complain about today really. Enjoy your night Alan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hate him but today, fair play, he didn't panic when we went behind. Well done Alan. Yeah fair play. Didn't cripple us with stupid subs today, let the team get on with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest icemanblue Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I was willing him to put Marveaux on. So glad he did. The way we broke forward was very reminiscent of WBA last season. It's good to see that having better players is making the difference it should. He has players now that will allow him the luxury of not having to 'react' quite as much. Really happy for him today, as gay as that sounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistle17 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Still want him gone at the end of the season, he's showed complete incompetence all season. He's not good enough for where this clubs wants to/should be. But, in saying that, well done to him today- he didn't panic (as people said) and press the self destruct button. Despite Chelsea's goals being two 'worldies', we did invite them on to us which is very dangerous. However, no point in being negative today, lets all celebrate one of the best wins this club has had in a long time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Can't complain with Pardew at all today. I perhaps would have picked a different side but the way he set us up was perfect and the players worked their socks off for him, particularly in the first ten minutes to rock their confidence. We attacked them virtually all game and his one proper sub was spot on. Like for like, but new energy and continuing the attacking intent. I'm convinced that sometimes managers try to be too clever and either pre-empt things that aren't really there or react too strongly to changes by the opposition. Pardew didn't do that today and all credit to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkwdavis2001 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I honestly don't understand why so much emphasis is put on the manager; at the end of the day its the players on the pitch that need to perform. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not always had the players he's had available today though has Not to take anything away from today but its not the personnel but the manner in which he uses/subs them and IMO he got it spot on today. Anyway lets not dwell on the past, he has the personnel now, time for a new beginning and a second chance. More of the same and he has my vote!

tmonkey Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I realise this isn't a fair view on Pardew, but I'll not be counting this fantastic win as brownie points for him. This isn't the first time we've done well against one of the top teams - the obvious inference has always been that players inherently raise their game against the top teams for a variety of reasons. On top of this, Pardew for some odd reason seems to be more open to playing the 4-3-3 (that many of us want the team to be playing on a permanent basis), with clear instructions to maintain some form of possession, against the better sides. We played some cracking stuff for example against ManU and Arsenal over the Christmas period, only then to revert back to the ugly, clueless hoofball soon afterwards. In short, he needs to stick with the system we started with today and the style of play. Only then does he start looking like a competent manager who isn't wasting arguably the most talented group of players we've had since Keegan's "Entertainers".

Guest bimpy474 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 They told me last time [in the 2-1 home defeat by Reading] that they didn't like me, that my subs were all wrong - and they were probably right.

Interpolic Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Still absolutely thrilled about the win today. This is the best NUFC/Pardew performance since when, do you think? Chelsea away last year? I think this was better, there was nothing fortuitous about today and Chelsea would have been lucky to scrape a draw. Man Utd at home last year was probably a touch better.
