NewJerseyMag Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 For a manager who regularly goes through 3 or 4 formation changes per game because he's set us up incorrectly to say that he couldn't find a way at any point in the 90 minutes to have Cisse up front is completely laughable. The stupid t*** can't keep the same shape for 60 mins before shitting his pants and throwing his plans in the air, yet we have to prepare for a week to play a centre forward on the wing Exactly.... for the last 30 mins what was the formation exactly? I assume that was NOT part of the master plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 When he is able to put out the following side with the following bench then and only then should he be judged ...................Krul................ Debuchy...Taylor...Colo.....Santon ...............Anita.....Tiote............ HBA................Cabaye..........Marv ..................Cisse....................... Jonas Simpson Shola Bigi Taylor Willo New CF Guess what sucker! He'll never put that team out, even when they're all fit! That's where he keeps fucking up. Jonas will find a way in there instead of Marv. Perch will find a way int here instead of Anita. God knows what other nonsensities he will manufacture. He's clueless, and will continue to prove to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it'll be a central striker from that. 4-4-2 and hoofing it is then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardew looking for pace and power at Newcastle 3:39pm Thursday 3rd January 2013 in Premier League ALAN PARDEW Newcastle boss Alan Pardew will target power and pace as he looks for a replacement for Chelsea-bound Demba Ba. The 51-year-old conceded defeat in his efforts to keep the Senegal international at St James' Park last night after the Blues triggered the escape clause in his contract with a £7million bid, and is now looking to plug the sizeable gap the striker will leave behind. Marseille's Loic Remy is at the top of his list, although as ever, the deal is far from straightforward. However, Pardew, who last night admitted Ba and former strike-partner Papiss Cisse were not a natural combination, is hopeful of finding a man to complement the former Freiburg marksman. He said: ''I would like, if possible, to have a player with real power and pace. Sometimes, we lack a little bit of pace. ''(Gabriel) Obertan brings that to the team, but when Gabby is not in the team, that's something I would like to see in the player that comes in because that will help Papiss, and also somebody who is going to threaten at set-plays because it has been a weakness for us. ''But it's easy to say what I would really like - it's what I can get in this window and the options are not numerous. There are only a few players, really, who are available.'' Pardew was due to meet managing director Derek Llambias and club secretary Lee Charnley this afternoon to discuss the way forward as Lille full-back Mathieu Debuchy underwent his medical on Tyneside with a view to completing a £5million switch from Lille tomorrow, although he will not be available for Saturday's FA Cup third round trip to Brighton. However, the manager warned that while the club's need is great, their financial model will govern what they are able to do. ''But we do have to take into consideration where we are. We are under no illusions that we are now in a battle to secure our Premier League status for next year, and we make no bones about that. ''The trick really is to get our best players on the pitch, we know that, but in the short term, one or two reinforcements would go a long way to helping.'' Pardew had only five members of what would be regarded as his strongest XI available to him for last night's 2-1 Barclays Premier League defeat by Everton with Danny Simpson, Steven Taylor, Yohan Cabaye, Jonas Gutierrez, Hatem Ben Arfa and Ba all missing, and the situation will not be improved my midfielder Cheick Tiote's departure for the African Nations Cup.

Ikon Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 He means two different types of players, on with pace and power to help cisse, and another player good at set pieces, like a CB i think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Tbf it doesn't mean we want to hoof.... For one thing he mentioned pace and no hoofball merchant is pacey..... He basically described Remy and Aubameyang( from highlights i have seen) both are strong, pacey and threat in the air. I would still hope he is looking to put a new forward out wide and Cisse through the middle tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 "We're looking for a player who is going to threaten at set-plays" No matter which position we are looking to sign a player in, Pardew, without fail, uses pretty much that exact phrase Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is looking for power and pace as he targets a replacement for striker Demba Ba. Chelsea triggered the £7m escape clause in Ba contract with Newcastle on Wednesday, and the player is ready to leave St James' park. Pardew was looking to take positives from the situation, and he believes Ba and former strike-partner Papiss Cisse were not a natural combination. As a result he is hoping to recruit a player similar to Gabriel Obertan, with Marseille's Loic Remy at the top of his wanted list. Pardew said: "I would like, if possible, to have a player with real power and pace. Sometimes, we lack a little bit of pace. "Obertan brings that to the team, but when Gabby is not in the team, that's something I would like to see in the player that comes in because that will help Papiss, and also somebody who is going to threaten at set-plays because it has been a weakness for us. "But it's easy to say what I would really like - it's what I can get in this window and the options are not numerous. There are only a few players, really, who are available." Ok that makes a little more sense i understand where hes coming from now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
