Guest bimpy474 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Didn't try to defend the un-defendable which was good I suppose. Sounds like Mapou is out the team. He should be, but so should Colo after the last two games. But we cant drop everyone, unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest icemanblue Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Deserves all the shit he'll get for the first half, regardless of individual horror shows. Won't get the small amount of credit he deserves for the second half improvement. It's a game that can't be won man. Does something wrong? Blamed and well deserved. Does anything right? Should have been doing it anyway, no credit. And anyone who thinks I'm misrepresenting the no-win fantasy world they live in, where the minimum acceptable criteria for a manager is "gets everything right all the time", please, provide a comprehensive list of things you would actually give pardew credit for. And I don't even like the fucker - although to some I'm sure if I'm not actively trying to set him on fire I must want to lick his hoop - I'm just tired of the ridiculous blindness on display sometimes. Aye, welcome to my world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 He has to take responsibility for the way he set the team up and the apparent lack of fight and motivation in the first half, but he was also badly let down by several key players tonight - the likes of Krul, Santon, Colo and MYM all having shockers at the same time is difficult to legislate for. http://i.imgflip.com/3xm4f.jpgvia Imgflip Meme Maker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 It's very hard to give him credit for something when the game is already lost, like. The context is completely different. We gave the game away before showing up. Whether that's down to Pardew or not is obviously open to debate but it's happening with ridiculous regularity.

Gallowgate Toon Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Really interesting comments from Neville on how we defend as a unit. Could it be that Pardew actually tries to be too positive with our full backs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Can't believe we set out the way we did. Shoking stuff. Can't tell at this stage whether our players are a bunch of gutless freaks or our manager just isn't very good. Probably both. Please beat Cardiff next week.

Completely. I'm glad we didn't humiliate ourselves after we'd already humiliated ourselves. We were unforgiveably wank first half. It's not as if the highs justify the lows with this manager. Villa away this season and Chelsea home last are the only big lights I can see amongst the pathetic defeats and other listless performances since the beginning of 11/12. There appears sometimes to have been gradual improvement but it's not good enough. Lots of managers have been long gone for less than this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I don't want to hear him identify and acknowledge the problems, I want him to fucking solve them. Or at least try to. He's the manager, this is his team and he's responsible for results and performances. If he can't get his team playing to an acceptable level then he needs to lose his fucking job. We've been largely woeful for months and months now, how many more shambolic performances does it take to get this wanker out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 @NeilCameron5 Pardew: "I think we still have a good chance of the top ten." Okay that sounds pretty desperate (ie in light of Kinnear and Ashley being present). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Deserves nothing but shit tonight. Ultimately it's his his coaching, his tactics and his XI. As was demonstrated tonight, the players clearly don't want to play for him, but you've then got to ask why. As has already been stated, the manager is the most important person at a football club. Months of mismanagement and poor decisions have led his squad to lose faith in him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming out and attacking the opposition in a more urgent/methodical way 2nd half was good but it doesn't excuse the first half. I think he/we did well against Villa and bits of the Fulham match were decent too. That and an ultimately futile attempt to get back in the game today have been alright, the rest of the season more of the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_69 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Tonight saw a contrast of new versus old, very good versus average, new school versus old school. Pardew should have spent the game rubbing himself up and down Martinez in the vague hope that some of his managerial ability transferred over. In terms of the two squads i'd say they were pretty even (id maybe even put us slightly ahead) and yet at times Everton played the kind of football we can only dream of. I just pray we get a new Martinez-type manager who can show us what this group of players is really capable of before Pardew bores them all into leaving Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
