oldtype Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Pardew learning from his mistakes and become a better manager is honestly far more likely than the board appointing a new manager that anyone on here will like.

steve_69 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Investment in the defense and we'll be absolutely fine. Our attacking play has improved a hell of a lot and we're scoring a lot of goals, with players to come back. Yes Pardew's totally ballsed up and i've lost almost all faith in that he's the manager to take us forward... but for the meantime, he's capable of keeping us up - providing he doesn't have to make in-game decisions regarding the defense. If he didn't have woeful defenders to try and tactically protect, we wouldn't have lost either game. I'm not excusing his decisions, i'm just saying his lack of tactical nouse has been totally exacerbated by some of the abysmal, shamefully bad players he's had to manage. I'm pretty much with you on that but if Pardew is to be believed then he's partly responsible for having only shit defenders at his disposal. If we don't sign a RB and at least one CB next month then any last ounce of faith I have in him or the board will evaporate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Genuine question. Do people really think if we play the same way we have done the last 5-6 games over the course of the next 19 games, we'll only average a point a game like we have? Eh? I'm asking because I'd only consider replacing Pardew at this stage if we were in real danger of going down. If I thought we'd only average a point a game from now until May I'd do that. I just don't see that myself, can see us making around the same total as the season before last. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thing having a creative influence in the middle of the park has had a huge impact Marvel in this form would create against anyone, even more so against weaker opposition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes23 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I'm more confident about our ability to win games after the last couple of performances. Yes we shipped a bucketload of goals today but we actually dominated possession in the first half and looked dangerous. I can't see many teams outside the top 6 being able to live with us if we keep playing like that. Still hanging on to my last thread of optimism How I'm feeling at the moment. Was very pleased with the way we played for the vast majority of the game today. Have to hope Pardew will stick with the formation/style seen in the last two games, despite the results.

JH Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 We can't win away from home, we can't come from behind, we can't defend, our biggest attacking goal threat is in danger of leaving, our second biggest attacking threat is injured - his replacement will probably be back on the bench when Jonas gets fit again. How exactly are we going to be fine?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
