KaKa Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 It's November and the manager still has no idea how to best setup the team to play anything resembling decent football. At best Pardew is a good man manager, but is looking increasingly hopeless tactically. He talks about passing and playing football, but its clear he has no idea of how to implement or train the players to play this type of football. Criminal waste of the players we currently have at our disposal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 At least Fat Sam's teams play with purpose and a specific way of playing, I have no idea which way Pardew wants the team to play and neither apparently does he. Prehistoric, antiquated none football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Positives? Tiote back and Jonas' injury may force a 3 of Tiote - Anita - Cabaye Santon seems to appear at RB more frequently so we may see Simpson replaced by Ferguson at full back No get out of jail card may prompt a change in thinking. Or maybe we'll just see Tiote and Cabaye flanked by Ben Arfa and Ferguson with 2 big men up front for the foreseeable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 That's been coming. Manager needs to completely re-evaluate his strategy because he let us down today. Helped by a few abysmal performances from his big players. Cisse and Cabaye were particularly shameful. That'll be the most sensible summary we'll get all night. Pardew is ultimately culpable as he's the manager but I'm sick of our so called top class players turning in s**** performances. Cisse in particular can f*** off to the bench for a few games. I think Cisse has got a confidence problem. Dont think it's laziness or him being shit. There's just sonething not right with him... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Open_C Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Booooooooooooo From the crowd in SJP ? Yep. Muted one. Very muted. Sounded fairly noisy but very short lived on Radio Newcastle. Presumably it was Mike Ashley, sat behind the press boxes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Its a fucking shambles and watching us play this year is really taking away one of my favourite parts of my week. Last year it was exciting and pleasurable to watch us. This season it is a disgrace. I could list 17 other managers in the premiership, that would play delightful football with our players at their disposal. Sick of Pardew. If this doesnt pick up in the next 5 games, Im leading a pardew out campaign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 PATHETIC We were absolutely pitiful, yet again. I don't even have the heart to rant anymore because it's pointless - Pardew won't change anything, he'll persist with this sadistic obsession with 4-4-fucking-2 hoofball. This was not good. Krul, Santon, Ba and Ben Arfa played well but the rest can go to hell with 'performances' like that, especially Williamson and Obertan. Obertan had what, 15 minutes?

ryanegg Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Only watched the 2nd half but that was one the worst performances I've seen from us in a while. Why play hoofball against West Ham, when even before a ball is kicked it's quite obvious we're going to be beaten in the air every time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishMagpie Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 losing 1 nil at home we should have been camped in their half for the entire 2nd half (if not the whole game!). Hate to agree with that wank of a commentator but no urgency whatsoever in our play until we see Krul coming up for a corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Pardew isn't doing his job correctly, neither is the Chairman who didn't push on in the Summer to give us more depth, and most importantly the players aren't performing. Basic errors every week which lead to goals given away or not being able to keep 11 on the pitch. The manager needs to start earning his corn, he's had the plaudits when things were going well, he's going to get criticism when things don't. Why the board gave him an 8 year contract God only knows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I can't even bring myself to feel angry. Everything about that game was merely incredibly irritating and the apathy I feel is because I can't see it getting better in the short term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
piggelbet Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 The get out of jail card we got against WBA won't happen every week. I'd say 'hopefully Pardew will realise now that he needs to do summat different' but there's absolutely no point in making a statement like that, cos he won't. Utter s****, and if it continues this way Pardew won't last another 8 months, let alone years. We could lose the next 10 games and he won't get sacked. The compensation would be too much. There will be a clause in his contract to avoid that. irrelevant though, he wont be sacked because it would make Ashley and Llambias look like complete tools Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyeyzzon Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Tbh we've had a couple of stinkers recently that have been hidden under the rug with luck (WBA) and at least a point. A home loss would hopefully be the kick up the arse we need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkzter Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 We rode our luck last year and had players in a purple patch. Get used to this, gonna be a long season with Pardew talking the talk but in no way walking the walk. Couple more performances like this and he will totally lose the fans, zero excuses in my opinion. Pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jep Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Manager needs to completely re-evaluate his strategy. Genuine question: Has a manager ever changed his philosophy on how they get thieir team to play football Of course, Pardew himself did it last season around March. Why he's reverted back to the shite that saw us draw at home to the Mackems and Norwich in February, i just don't know. It's cowardly, negative and completely needless with the quality we have in the side. He's shit scared of using Ba out wide again. But he won't have to do that now. Cisse needs to be dropped.

garth Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Have to say that was one of most negative performances from us in a long time. I would have to say Pardew must take the blame for most of this, with these piss poor tactics he's employing.Very few of our players deserved any credit.

Yorkie Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Krul - 6. One good save, a dozen shite kicks. Simpson - 6. Was alright at the back and a complete non-entity going forward. Williamson - 4. Really, really poor. Shit in the air and his composure at the back is worrying. Taylor - 6. Didn't really do anything of note really. Santon - 7. Thought he was good in the first half and his dribbling was promising. Final ball is wank, though. Ben Arfa - 6. I thought he was positive and made some decent strides forward. Final ball was rubbish. Cabaye - 4. Abysmal. Anita - 6. Did alright, bit of a non-entity in their half. Ferguson - 4. Couldn't impose himself and made a lot of errors. Ba - 7. Our best player. Cisse - 4. Abysmal. (Shola - 4. No better.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Cisse has earned himself a few games on the bench. Just doesn't have it right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 So frustrating to watch when you know how this team has played in the 4-3-3 system which would have been perfect for the game today. To the two "Pardew out" posts a few pages back: Give it a rest, that is complete bullshit. I know this loss is particularly sore due to Fat Sam, Nolan & Carroll, but no need to go ott. Take a timeout and come back instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
indi Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 We were woeful, again. Too many of our good players playing within themselves and some of the others simply don't appear to be up to the job. Apart from anything a couple of our players just seem to be a bit thick. Cisse is always offside and never seems to think about what he's doing, he's 100% instinct and when his instinct is off he's woeful, think he's going to be one of those players that goes on runs when he scores a shit-load but also has periods where he couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo. Williamson isn't an idiot and I think he's a lot better most of the time than he gets credit for, but he's always liable to a lapse of concentration or a fuck-up and the least said about Obertan the better. The one good thing from this season so far is that even when we play badly (that's pretty much every game so far, like) we're managing to still be in with a chance of getting something, unlike last season when when it went badly it went really badly. Not expecting much from this season now, top 10 or so, but if we can add a bit of quality in certain positions and make sure that we start next season fully fit that could be when we take our next step forward, this season is one of consolidation for me now.
