So much hate for him now. Can't see how he is going to ride this one out.

Surely the pressure will become too much for him unless he knows for a fact he definitely isn't getting sacked. Which is the impression I always get from his interviews.

 

I'd guess there'd actually have to be some more visible form of protest until he feels any pressure from it, like. From a fan perspective, anyway. At the minute, it's nearly all online.

 

I thought that before he complained about the reaction to the derby match. There was virtually fuck all reaction at the full time whistle and the media hardly slated him, so I wonder where he got it from.

 

The Reading game was an indication of how quickly things can change inside SJP though, and he only really got one sub wrong.

Aye, Reading was very interesting in terms of how the fans reacted.

 

I still wonder if his quotes about the derby reaction were as much about specific pundits and writers as they were about the fans.

Disgusting that we are top of the league for the most long balls per game.

This guy has to go.

 

Since buying Debuchy, Mbiwa, Sissoko, Haidara and Gouffran our long balls per game have averaged 58.

 

Which is less than the season long average for 15 other teams in the league...

Stands to reason that replacing Simpson, Williamson, Perch etc will see an improvement on that score like.

 

Seems odd to criticise Pardew on something he has so drastically improved in the last 3 months.

 

Where were we in this table last year, with those players key components?

I think in this day and age there doesn't always have to be visible protest to cause a feeling of unrest.

I do remember reading a few critical (compared to normal) articles after the derby. The Sunshine Gang were getting quite excited about the journos 'turning', I think. I thought that was what he was referring to in the interview.

Where were we in this table last year, with those players key components?

 

67 long balls per game last season.  Pretty close to what we were hittting before the new year.

 

Course, people don't complain about it while we're winning.

Long passes are not the same as long hoofs, which ours are most of the time, hoof and hope.

 

It doesn't make any sense to level that criticism at Pardew.  Are you saying he is coaching them to hit less long balls, but to not look where they're hitting the ball when they do use it?

 

What's this - reasoned argument backed by actual statistics? Get him lads!  :lol:

We definitely pass a lot more now, mainly in our own half. Once we reach the penalty area we usually lob one in towards the striker who is the only one in the vicinity usually. I'm not sur if that's on your stats there but it's what we usually see.

Well you're wrong there. It's more accurate to say that people get laughed at for complaining while we're winning. Now we're losing.

Agreed. I called it plenty last season and i was far from the only one.

Were you unhappy last season, Dave? The numbers of people who were are growing by the day.

True.  I got a load of shit for complaining about it :D

 

What I should have said is people don't want him sacked for it then.

Not really, but I was concerned that it wasn't sustainable. Might dig some posts out later. ;)

 

I hoped that with better players our football would improve accordingly, but it's somehow gone the other way. Pardew was fucked over in the summer but I still don't think he's been nearly good enough.

That's because it would have been absurd to sack a manager when the team is getting the results. But even then there were plenty here who saw past it and voiced concerns which have turned out to be justified.

Never knew Happy Face posted here man :lol:

 

Here is a quote of his from Toontastic 

 

When I see us passing and keeping posession and probing like in the first half [vs. West Brom] I think that's what Pardew has spent the week drilling them with.  When I see us twating the ball out of defense I think that's the players getting tired and desparate and ignoring what they've been told.  When I see shola coming on I think Pardew is trying to get those balls to stick and stop it being wave after wave of attack.

Fair play, can't say I was concerened at all. It was a genuine question, no need to provide posts, like. Agree with the rest, though.

Think that's reflected in the bulk of investment being at the back (Debuchy and Mbiwa).  Cisse is the only striker at the club that's good enough at the moment really, Need another one of a standard higher than Best, Ranger, Shola, Kuqi, Pancrate etc.

People seem to forget that people did complain last season. Doesn't "We're 7th/6th/5th man!" ring any bells?

Was a regular years back.  Just when the mood strikes these days.  Usually to defend Pardew against unfair criticism or criticise Ashley when he's being praised.

 

Who are you like?  :laugh:
