Disco Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Did Ba score any wonder goals first half of the season? He was scoring well but amazing goals? I'm not so sure. We've definitely missed him since he was sold though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I agree on the Ba points but Cisse i'm not so sure.... end of last season even though Cisse was scoring we were creating multiple chances every game. Mainly due to the ridiculous form of Cabaye and Hatem mind but still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've definitely missed him since he was sold though. I thought his volley at Reading was probably the best/toughest this season (from Ba) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Every game I watch of other teams they at least seem to retain some level of possession and a decent level of movement. I really don't understand how with the players we have we can't do the same and at least pressure opposition, it just has to be Pardew being negative in tactics and worrying over the other team. I hope to fuck he gets a win next weekend. If we scrape through to the summer Ashley should really think about sacking him or demand answers to why the football on display is so god damn awful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Did Ba score any wonder goals first half of the season? He was scoring well but amazing goals? I'm not so sure. We've definitely missed him since he was sold though. He did last season, and in the first half of this season and last he was scoring far more then he should have done compared to chances created.

Parky Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 It's pretty well documented he does very little or no attack coaching. I still don't really understand that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 It's pretty well documented he does very little or no attack coaching. I still don't really understand that. It's pretty clear they do very little defensive coaching as well - we are dreadful and keep making silly mistakes. Very rarely work as a unit, in fact I can't see one thing we do particularly well apart from rolling over for other teams. We don't seem to have a very high tempo about us, can't retain the ball, are pretty shit at hoof ball, can't take corners, free kicks or throw ins, are not very organised and can't create chances for our striker. It's been that way all season. Even last 5 or 6 seasons I can't think of any time where you would look and feel confident about us winning a game comfortably or playing good football for more than 1 game at a time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLK Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I agree with people who say Pardew is not very good tactically and we the shit hit the fan he forgets all about passing and ball distribution and reverts back to his brute force method of long balls using it as a counter attacking method. He may have to go at some stage but it will be a big mistake to do it right now as it's a bit too late and difficult to get the right manager who will be happy to take over at late stage. I know it's not completely his fault for every lose we suffer and injuries aside some of our players didn't start playing football until January including Cabaye who we now know we had a shit start to this season after the EUROs. I think Pardew struggles when his best players especially his get out of jail players like Ben Arfa are not available for almost the entire season but just because he finished 5th last season and named manager of the year I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Until next Christmas where his performance should be assessed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Was talking to a few friends who went to City and to say they were pissed off was an understatement especially at our approach to the game. Don't win the Fulham game and the mackem match will be his biggest game as our manager for many reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't win the Fulham game and the mackem match will be his biggest game as our manager for many reasons. A sizeable part of the reason I want him gone is how bad I've felt coming back from away games. £49 for an adult ticket at Man City + travel etc and he plays for a low scoring defeat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 We could quite easily finish the season with 1 single away victory (although QPR away has potential if they are already down when we play them). That is truly unforgivable for me with the individuals we have available to Pardew. It's just a perfect example of his negative approach to games no matter who the opposition.

littlelunchbox Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 People are saying he went to city for a low scoring lose, because benfica is more of a winnable game. You know what's worrying, I don't think he did that, Pardew actually believed he can get something out of that game and it astounding just how he went about it by just telling his team to park the bus. If he wanted to throw the game he would not had risked Cabaye, he was injured only 2 weeks ago. Wished the man had some principles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 He's put pressure on himself by coming out with the "we're done" comment after Stoke and then serving up two utterly limp performances in the league right after that. The pressure is on against Fulham, anything less than a win and the heat is turned up even further in the derby. I have these awful visions of a confident Berbatov striding around St James' against a nervous side sitting deep inviting pressure on. I think we'll do it but it'll be the usual biting nails, hands over the face/hiding behind the sofa scenario..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 We're 3 points from the drop zone and 1 point from 12th. Heh. At this point, Pardew's only concern with the league fixtures should be to keep us up. Unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
