Cajun Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 What? How many times did he play Shola through the middle with Cisse on the right? Shola is the larger well built one. Cisse is the slighter of the two. I give up. http://i50.tinypic.com/9t1ysw.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Shola on the right up against Ian Harte. Possibly the worst tactical decision I've witnessed from any one of our managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Bottom line is that I can't wait to draw a line under this season, hopefully with our Premier League status intact and thinking optimistically we may have progressed further in the Europa or at least not shown ourselves up against Benfica. I don't think there's much chance of next season being anywhere near as bad as this season, whatever happens. I'd imagine if Pardew stays it will just be bang-average, with poor performances and mid-table results. An opportunity lost in other words, but I don't think we'll be in serious relagation trouble 2 years running. If that's what people are happy with then fair enough, because I'd be fairly surprised to see us attacking the top 6 again with this guy in charge - it seems like his luck's ran out and what he did last season was built on sand, in terms of footballing ethos to see you through whatever rub of the green you might be experiencing. The style of football has a big bearing on things, it would be far easier to sympathise with Pardew if he wasn't responsible for making your eyes bleed once or twice a week. Agree entirely.

Interpolic Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 What? How many times did he play Shola through the middle with Cisse on the right? Once v Reading. Well they did Swap around that game. What's Paul Once got to do with it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 For him to pick Jonas for nearly every game this season, despite his clear lack of ability now. Shows him to be quite mental tbh. Or not having any other real option. I felt he did but i would now have to try to justify that with names, games and factual content. Canny be arsed If Ben Arfa stayed fit I am confident Jonas would have gone the same way as Simpson and Williamson. He has been dropped for Ben Arfa before. Marveaux just isn't a wide player. After that we are left with Obertan or Sammy (now on loan) or Ferguson (now on loan). We really have f*** all options and it's why we need to sign a forward and winger in the summer as a priority (then a Colo replacement if he goes as expected). I just think it's harsh to blame him for things he doesn't have much choice over. Who chose to play Shola through the middle and push Cisse out to the wing on occasion this season?

Parky Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 You can see already Pochettino a manager with no clue about the PL has S'hampton - a side from which maybe one player would get into our first 11 rocketing up the table with no fear football. There is no clearer contrast than that compared to the safety first tosh we dish up game after game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dontooner Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 The realty check will come when we get dump out of the europa and struggle to safety in the last few games oF the season.

Think he papered over a lot of our shortcomings last season when he started playing. Sissoko and Goofy have started losing a bit of interest already - the team talks must be dire.
