Beren Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Aye, as much as I would say a lot of the "in spite of Pardew" stuff has rang true in the league I don't think the same can be said here, IF he does win the Waffa (big IF) it'll be his doing. What, why? Not even a collaborative effort? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Imagine if he went full on Gandalf, for no other season than for the craic. Someone mock up an image of Gandalf Pardew watching Hatem skin Neil Taylor by the touchline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 He's managed to get through the rough period with us, hope next season he can evolve our play and start to progress us, he will have no excuses. Only problem I really still have is our attacking play which tends to be a bit static, I just hope he can solve that next year as we could be a right force if we keep our players (Difficult to keep Cabaye if Man U come sniffing) and add another Striker and a Winger (We were crying out for a natural winger last night) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Meh, this is the sort of performance we were putting in last season. Nothing new and its about as good as it gets with him. I'll take this being as good as it get's for the next several years if results stay the same, thank you very much. We play some really good stuff at times, way better than some of the real shit I've been privileged to watch over the years. We beat an exceptionally good side over two games, I really don't get the negativity at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 He picked the team i would have picked yesterday but for the large part of the first half we were bloody awful. My biggest issue is what they are working on in training because it seems alot of players are making the same mistakes. For example: Does he work on set pieces enough? Does he tell Tiote to stop diving in to tackles? Does he understand how to get the best out of Cisse? I.e getting him between the centre halfs. Is he working on Santons final product? All real issues that he hasn't resolved this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that i'm a little stumped tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Pardews great at getting the basics out of defensive minded players. Perch, Raylor, Williamson (for a period), Jonas (defensive qualities) but stuggles massively at improving players decision making in the final third. Didn't someone say a while ago that we spend most of the week working on the defence? Makes complete sense, as we are still relying on individuality in attack. Wonder if he could hire a more techincal, attacking minded coach, to work with the attacking players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just works with the youth players if i remember correctly. But good point. Not sure on Beardo's coaching ability either but he certainly has the knowledge.

TherealnorthernTOON Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I think we've seen improvements in our attacking play, especially when it comes to getting to the byline, what we don't see as much is the backpass into the area for easy finishes or people attacking first post most of the time. Most of the players are generally new to the prem, and working on the defensive aspect of the game might not prove to be such a disaster at this point, as the prem in itself is quite a fast moving game and some of the players needs some getting used to time. However, we should expect more of a system and general play later on as it's quite a big part of getting Cisse the chances he needs to score. Tbf his tally isn't bad considered the amount of chances he gets during games that actually are accountable and the systems he's been playing in.

TherealnorthernTOON Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 The reputation of the club was shit mangerwise when Pardew came in, sacking people left and right etc. Now Pardew has come in and taken us to the next level, with cooperation with our tremendous chief scout ofcourse. Hopefully in the next few years we can take another step. And managers will really look at Newcastle as a real opportunity in their career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I really want to like Pardew more, he's here for the long term and has shown signs of promise as well as shite. We need a season next year where things don't conspire against us (ie decent summer transfer activity and fewer injuries), so he can be judged more fairly on his actual plans for the team.

We need a season next year where things don't conspire against us (ie decent summer transfer window and fewer injuries), so he can be judged more fairly on his actual plans for the team. I kind of agree, he's here for long term, he did well last season but there are just some aspects of our play that need addressing which never seem to go away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Hope he's badgering the board for some wingers in the summer. Our build up play using only the full backs out wide is becoming painful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Not sure he's capable of improving the offensive side all that much tbh if we really want to go far under him he needs some help on that side. He's obviously shown at this point that defensively he's more than capable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
