Flip Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Giving Pardew credit for having this team try for one half in the last 14-16 halfs or so. If anything our 2nd half reaction is something WE SHOULD EXPECT from whatever manager when you're down 2-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Don't forget we started well early on. Deserves credit for one decent 10 minute spell in one first half this season. Have to hand it to Jon, he has a hell of a positive outlook on life. Can just picture him on the sinking Titanic, being dragged down to his certain death, telling everybody in earshot that the first part of the journey was actually quite nice.

Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Awful, if he actually looked like he knew what to do to sort things out I'd be happy for him to stay but he clearly doesn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you are one of those who have this view on football that being in a relegation battle is fine as long as you play well for like 20 minutes after being down 2-0. I'm not saying we haven't played well today, I just think Pardew has got nothing right in terms of tactics and line-ups for the last 7 games. Anyone praising him for 20 mionutes should have a look at the table and the minutes Jonas has been playing of late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every morning he should write down his thoughts and then do the opposite in training. Player should listen to what he says and do the exact opposite.

Because he is poor at seeing things quickly enough, the amount of time proves it imo. That and switching to 3 in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Really perplexed why it's taken us up until December to stop persisting with the long-ball game. I think his ideal team would play 4-4-2 and be a "direct" side, allowing them to keep their shape defensively. I only think he's changed it because it was becoming impossible to justify continuing to play that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
