Interpolic Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 You can really hear the thud as a penny drops like. I've had a couple message me on Facebook saying stuff along the lines of "everything you've been saying played out exactly like that today", etc. Again, I take no pleasure in it whatsoever - in fact I think I've been a bit wrong to a degree like because (and I'm not taking the piss here) I didn't think it could get this bad. I thought we were dealing with a guy that would lead us to dull, uninspiring and ultimately very limited football that wouldn't get us anywhere - I had no idea it could have got this bad with the personnel available and I'm absolutely flabbergasted that we're one of the favourites for relegation at this stage. Ignore the Pardew stuff for a moment and we, as a club, have underperformed so massively this season it's unreal. Just hoping there's not a horrible twist to come.

huss9 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I wonder if pardew's ever sought graham carr's advice. after all, carr's a coach in his own right and has seen a lot of sissoko, cabaye etc and must know where they've been most effective.

Wil Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Martinez post match all about 5 great matches coming up, fighting tooth and nail in every one of them etc. Our manager reflects on the lack of heart, fight, organisation, experience, confidence and a spiral of negativity etc. A troubling contrast, and with fuck all time to put things right.

bulivye Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I thought that reaction was Ok from him personally. Yes, the team selection was poor but you could see the organisation was abysmal, we shouldn't be conceding like that, especially with a defensive line up. Whether that lack of organisation is down to players or the instructions given is the key factor. How can a lack of organisation be down to players? Exactly. There wasn't a plan today. There were no special tactics to nullify Liverpool or exploit their weaknesses. He picked a keeper, a back 4, 2 defensive midfielders and was 2 down after 16 minutes. We created one chance in 45 minutes and he shit himself, we went at them for 10 minutes and got hit on the break. 0-3. We then continued to shit ourselves and gave up and the deficit doubled within 20 minutes. He's clueless. He simply can not get anything out of this squad, he's fucking done. He's a dead duck. He's a busted flush. He needs to lose his job as soon as possible. Amen, Midds! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 http://espnfc.com/blog/_/name/newcastleunited/id/825?cc=5739 If Alan Pardew stays in charge of Newcastle United for the remaining three games of the season then the club could well be playing Championship football next season. After a week of more excuses and finger pointing from the Newcastle manager, Pardew seemed to wave the white flag even before Saturday's game with Liverpool kicked off by lining up with a ridiculously negative team selection, offering the visitors, minus their main attacking threat, the chance to take the game to the home side, who were desperate for a result. The 6-0 win for an average Liverpool side, Newcastle's heaviest loss at home for 88 years, made a mockery of Pardew, his team, his excuses and his managerial capabilities. - Heneage: Coutinho pulls strings to torment Toon - Sturridge: "I didn't signto sit on the bench" - Analysis: Newcastle United 0-6 Liverpool - Rodgers: "Sturridge can be one of the best" The result should be enough to see off a manager who has a pathetic Premier League win ratio of 24% since signing an almighty eight year contract seven months ago. Newcastle have scored only 37 goals in the 29 Premier League games since then, whilst conceding 60. It won't be though - after all it was his close friend Mike Ashley who handed him the eight year contract in the first place. To fire him now would reflect badly on Ashley and therefore won't happen. The first question anyone asks when fans of a football club demand the sacking of a manager is: "So who would you bring in?" In this case, Ashley and Derek Llambias would find it almost impossible to unearth someone who could make the situation worse (Erm... remember Joe Kinnear - Ed). Pardew has somehow managed to guide a team full of international footballers to only four points from their past six games. And even more worryingly, 16 goals have been conceded in that time with a just three scored in reply. Thank goodness for the last minute winner against Fulham or the picture would be even more worrying. Saturday's tactical masterclass from Pardew included starting with two holding midfielders at home, for a game where points were desperately needed. Not only that, but the midfield player who should have been in an advanced position, Yohan Cabaye, spent the little time he was actively involved playing behind those two. On the plus side, this is one of the first defeats this season in which Newcastle's current captain hasn't pulled up injured after his team had fallen behind. Moussa Sissoko, Newcastle's powerhouse French International central midfielder played as a right-sided midfielder. That is crazy in itself, never mind when you consider that it meant he was directly up against the most powerful full-back in the league, Newcastle old boy Jose Enrique. The Spaniard completely dominated the out-of-position Sissoko, therefore nullifying one of Newcastle's most potent threats. Why? Perhaps Pardew's 1988 coaching manual told him that number 7's play on the right? It's the most plausible reason I can think of. I've spent quite a lot of time this past week debating with some Newcastle fans and journalists about whether Newcastle are a 'long ball team'. This game should answer any doubts on that front - in fact, the first passage of play in the game was a back pass to Rob Elliot who launched the ball aimlessly to the right. Why oh why would you take a team of ball players - five French internationals played - and try to make them play like Stoke City? If the club is to be functional and are to endure another seven years of Pardew then perhaps Llambias should relocate chief scout Graham Carr to watch games in the Championship and League One instead of France and Holland. Liverpool were two up inside of 20 minutes. A team with nothing to play for were first to every tackle and showed a determination you would expect from their opposition; a team with everything to play for. Newcastle United's players are not playing for their manager. James Perch, another bizarre Newcastle supporter cult hero, missed a great chance with a header as the first half dragged on but Newcastle rarely posed a threat. By the way - absolute kudos to the man who spins the half time records in the ground - at half time he played Eric Clapton as Pardew and his players ran out onto the park for the second half: "Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself" Over 1.1 million through the gates at St James' Park this season yet Pardew has pointed a finger at the fans more than once as well as the players' weekly call for 'support'. If the players matched the fans, Newcastle United would be playing Champions League football next season. Pardew bowed to the fans wishes at half time when he brought on Hatem Ben Arfa as well as Yoan Gouffran. This proved to be footballing suicide. Starting in such a manner may have put Liverpool on the back foot but chasing a two goal deficit Newcastle were more reckless and Liverpool scored four more goals. Mattieu Debuchy was sent off for a ridiculous, petulant tackle as Newcastle capitulated yet again. The game ended with the ground down to about 20,000 of the 52,000 fans who started there - those left in the stadium sarcastically cheered each completed pass and offered loud, sarcastic applause when Papiss Cisse fired a rare shot at goal. It was a grim afternoon, one of the worst I can ever remember, and if things don't change then Newcastle might well be heading to Doncaster next season. They need a win from either West Ham away, QPR away or Arsenal at home on the last game of the season. I can't imagine the Magpies winning any of the three unless there is a major change at the top. I hope I am proven wrong. Twitter: @MarcSDuffy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I can't see MA happy with relegation, yes he may be set to trouser some money in the short term with sales of our 'purples' however we don't know what clauses they have in their contracts and whether we would make any decent amount of profit from them especially after this season. Even so the damage to the club's bottom line in the long term would be far more damaging to his pocket. Every man and his dog can see what is wrong with the team, now whether Pardew is stupid/arrogant/proud he clearly cannot and will not make the required changes to move us forward, I know it's risky changing manager at this point in the league and at this threat level (see Shearer) but it could also have a catapult effect (Roeder) and must be worth the risk after that gutless, pointless performance. I've never seen such a display in B&W in all my 35 years, it was beyond embarrassing. After our wake up call against the Makems it should have been a humbling moment for Pardew, but he obviously slept through his wake up call because rather than rectify our deficiencies he seems to have exsaserbated them to the Nth degree! There's no moving on from here, he's lost it, the teams lost it and most people have completely lost all faith in him. Pack your bags and fuck off Pardew, thanks for the 5th place finish and European football but you've been found out now and nobody wants you anymore!

toontownman Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 So I can see us limping through to stay in the premiership.. I can see us firing Pardew.. then I can see us hiring Harry Redknapp. I would be so woefully unhappy at that happening, but right now I would consider it. Just for the record to add to what everyone else already knows.. could not fathom his starting line up today but anything negative is a magnet to Pardew.
