JH Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Yanga-Mbiwa, Gouffran, Sissoko, Haidara and Debuchy had made a combined 912 first team and nearly 30 international appearances between prior to joining NUFC in January. The inexperienced little shits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nixon Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 He's got a point. The English league is really physical. There's definitely a lean towards power over grace, more so than any other top league in Europe. In certain situations you really don't get time to think and you have to become wise as to when those avenues present themselves. Compare it with the French league and I bet the biggest surprise for the new guys has been the speed and relentless pace of it. You look at Mathieu Debuchy for example and I don't think he's at peak physical fitness. I think it was Jermaine Jones who actually commented on the difference once. I'm paraphrasing but he said he had gone from one of the fittest players in the Bundesliga to mid-level here. Again though Pardew's comments only serve to highlight another one of his mistakes. Throwing all of the new players in quickly and together means you have nearly half your team trying to acclimatise. What you need to do is slowly introduce them and surround them by those who know what it is like. That way they can coach them and explain the nuances of it. I know he mentioned Haidara wasn't supposed to see the light of day this season, so it suggests he kind of understands it. I think when we lost Coloccini he really should have reverted to familiarity. Williamson, Obertan, Simpson etc. They aren't better players than Haidara, MYM, but they know how we play and would make us more difficult to break down. Then we could have seen the likes of Sissoko flourish without the pressure of having to lead the team. Instead he along with the four new players have been thrust forward as 'the answer'.

It's just more of his shitty excuses that you're falling for. We're not in the position we are because of who came in during January, we were in the shit before they arrived.

The lack of time to drill is tenious at best. How long did the new guy at Southampton take to exert his style upon them? 2 weeks. How long did Rodgers take to alter the style at Liverpool? A few months. Pardews had ages here and;- a) We don't have a recognisable style and b) He's had the luxury of already knowing more than half of the first team from last season which should enable their adaption to any new system/way of playing. He's not altered their games at all. I'll ask again because I don't think it was answered before but which players have improved under Pardew and who has he developed to the point we can rely on them 100% next season? Genuine question.

All of which (bar perhaps the personal performance of some players) he has caused. I agree with a lot of his excuses, but what he consistently seems to forget is that they occurred because of decisions he made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
