littlelunchbox Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 latest from the salesman Pardew. "Next year we have to prove that we're a bigger and better club," he told the Newcastle Chronicle. "That's in terms of our Premier League position by finishing well above them (Sunderland). That's what we are going to try to do next year." But despite his long-term ambitions, Pardew admits that Newcastle are not out of the woods yet in this season's relegation battle, with his side five points clear of the drop zone. "First we've got to make sure we play well in the last five games with good, solid performances," he added. The former Southampton manager had previously blamed European duties for their lacklustre performance at the weekend. But now with a clear schedule, Pardew is looking forward to integrating the likes of Hatem Ben Arfa, Mathieu Debuchy and Cheikh Tiote back into full training. "We certainly can do a week's work with Hatem and Debuchy, who had his first game (since being injured), and Cheikh," he said. "We'll do more work with him. We'll give a rest to some of the other guys." http://www.sportal.co.nz/football-news-display/pardew-wants-bigger-and-better-230934 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Like it or not, this is a physical league. Anita has struggled to adapt to this from day one, other than a decent spell when, ironically, he wasn't being played in his 'best' position. Quite how he's been granted a pardon, simply because of an under-performing manager, is beyond me. Silva is pretty slim/small is he not? He does alright? Physicality is nothing to do with it. Do you not see a pattern in so many players "under performing" that perhaps it's the manager. It's borderline ridiculous to suggest Anita is being granted a pardon. You don't genuinely beleive that? It is in England, and always will be. The small, non-physical players that succeed over here have remarkable qualities that make them effective.

Mick Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Rest? But then they won't be up to speed?! At least he's carrying out the threat he made after the mackem match, he's certainly making them feel the pain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Anita was one of Ajax most important players when they won the league from what i read on various Ajax forums. And Ajax did pretty well against City in the CL without a powerhouse in CM (i know he wasn't playing) In the right setup he could still be some player in this league, despite not being a powerhouse. Not under Pardew though.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a cliche and it doesnt ring true anymore Swansea have a nice balance. And they're hardly a top side, anyway. They're average, and to mention them as you have is ironically as cliched as it gets.

Spudil Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Swansea have a nice balance. Of what? Physical and not-really-physical players? I count the CB's and perhaps Michu as 'physical' in that side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Arsenal's midfield 3 is Arteta-Ramsey-Wilshere they hardly seem to have a problem. England is nowhere near as physical as it used to be( although i will accept its fast), physique only matters when you play like we do.... i.e. cover space. The main reason Anita has struggled so far is because of the massive gaps in between attacking, midfield and defense..... players like Anita are used to the gap between the lines being small and thus not as much ground to cover. This wouldn't be a problem if we passed and moved like even Wigan can. Pretty certain physicality wouldn't be a problem if we actually played like Wigan, Southampton, Swansea etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of arsenal is our central midfielders that far from theirs? Our defenders a lot worse than theirs? Giroud that much better than Cisse? They should clearly be above us they have a better team but how are they so far away from us in the league? Wenger is suppose to be the press whipping boy as well, apparently he is a s*** manager according to them . Selling everyone left right and centre, signing turds .

Parky Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 The gaps between the lines are too big. The team is too stretched. We play too deep. The striker is isolated most of the game. We go long too often. We run around pointlessly. Keeper kicks it out too much. Sissoko isn't an atm. We don't understand what tempo means. We only have one gear in posesssion - panic. etc.....

You need to look up cliche. It's not at all. It's just an easy comparison to make, what does them being a "top side" have to do with anything. Also they won a cup and absolutely battered us at SJP. Bilbao did okay against the "physical" stoke if I recall? Stoke are fucking dogshite, man. In this country you need technical and physical ability. All of NUFC's good sides since I can remember have had plenty of both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
