dcmk Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I'm not too concerned with today. Thursday is the important fixture of this week. It's probably the way the players look at it too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I don't think we are giving Ashley enough credit for his intelligence. Even in football terms. I believe he knows now that Pardew may not be the answer anymore. although I rate Ashley higher than most people, I still don't believe he will pull the trigger until December. I feel he's willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Me personally I'd pull the trigger as soon as the last whistle blows at the end of this season.

Guest Dontooner Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Genuinely think talk of him being replaced is laughable. If this season is repeated then there's a slight possibility we'll make a change but otherwise he's here for the long term. His ambitions match those of the club perfectly; pushing this 'punching above our weight' agenda all the time. We can't compete and we don't. The worrying thing for me is that the new players are making less of an impact with every game we play. Was there a honeymoon period? The 'honeymoon period' was when the new players couldn't understand what he was saying so did what they thought a football team was supposed to do. Now they can understand what he's telling them...... Funny this should be joke and many should laugh at it.... But its reality, how scary What a fruit cake of a manager can break talented players and still make them like him.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 The players are falling for the same trap as a lot of supporters: that there can only be one game a week and if you're scheduled to play two, you have to throw one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we will see on Thursday if that's true. Personally I would be shocked I we are playing any better then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Absolutely. Giving Pardew the opportunity to coach them and instil his negative values has been a massive mistake. Gouffran and Sissoko, you wouldn't believe it was the same humans as two months ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dontooner Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 tbh at the current form, think we will go on to lose badly thursday and Pardew will start mumbling about scrambling to safety was always 1st priority. Putting hopes on Pardew is like hoping the Cyprus government might do a U turn and wont take 60% of your deposit money in banks. Its a lost cause.

Chizzletooth Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Pardew's been abysmal this season, no question. But all this "greatest squad since Bobby"... im less sure of, reckon some of our players are overrated on here. Most of our players have major deficiencies. Krul can't kick. Santon can't defend. Tiote gets caught on the ball. Ben Arfa is always injured. Marveaux is hit and miss. Cisse doesn't understand offside. Cabaye gets depressed. And thats our good players. In conclusion, everything is bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Was badly let down by a number of players today. The whole midfield played like they couldn't have given less of a fuck for the most part which is inexcusable, whether he told them to take it easy I don't know but if he did he's reaped what he sowed because you can't do that against Man City.

That was clearly the instruction imo, so much so that it was very predictable. Our intent was to give them the ball as much as possible and try and limit what they could do with it. No way in the world was he let down by the players. He got what he asked for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Pardew on Radio Newcastle now; Too many good players missing No excuses No pressure on Man Citeh today Side unbalanced - James Perch on a yellow - Jonas not a left back Should be stronger for Benfica/Fulham Big lesson today - not good enough retaining possession and no pressing on the ball.

Typical same old salesman bull shit from Pardew, tell the fans what he thinks they want to hear yet he has no intention or the ability to change what he just told us.
