Jayson Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Do we actually have to give him credit for the win though? If he wasn't forced into bringing Anita on, would we still have won? Well we'll never know will we? But Anita didn't cross the ball onto Gouffran's head for the opener, for a start. Obviously the manager is only part of the equation. But Anita's influence is likely what lead to us getting the freekick in the first place, as our entire ability to trouble them with the ball started then. Pardews overly negative man, it works at times but its hurting us so much at others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 My exact issue with him are the performances versus Villa, Hull, Liverpool, Sunderland, and Chelsea. 0 consistency; we don't know what team is going to turn up each match. Today, he got it right, and credit where its due - if it was him brilliantly setting up the team or if it was Chelsea playing poorly, or instructing Cabaye to hit it the way he did into the box or not - we won today and we beat Chelsea. But I'm happier for the players and we supporters who've suffered too much for too long under this guy. He's still a snake and he's Mike Ashley's crony, I'll likely not get back on board with him, ever again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes23 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 What did Ginola say? Pardew said that everything went to plan. Ginola asked whether playing s**** for 60 minutes, being unable to control the ball, Tiote getting injured was all part of the plan Pardew doesn't get much credit from me. Chelsea weren't on their game at all and the individual quality of our players has saved him again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Everything we said pre-match was right, so typically we get the win He's still a twat, Shola was still the wrong call but cheers for the win. He's here for a while longer though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLK Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Honestly there are people here will only be happy if Pardew dies a painful death. WTF Imagine if we had Sime of Chelsea's players especially in place of Shola and Cisse we would have been rocking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Bailey Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Credit where credit is due. He out Mourinhoed Mourinho today. He clearly had a game plan, OK its his stock in trade one, but he used it today and it came off for him, and for us. Tight, no thrills, turgid defensive minded for first 60 mins and then increase tempo and desire in last 20-30 mins. Would I want to watch that every week? No probably not, nor should we be employing these tactics at home v Stoke/Fulham/ West Brom etc But, as much as I despise the odious cunt, lets be fair. This is a cracking result. Yep may have been different if Chelsea had played better first 45 mins in particular, but they didn't. I'm prepared to say well done to him today... albeit through gritted teeth (still smiling though!...we fucking won!!!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Today was a team performance from us for a change, been waiting for one of these for fucking ages. This is the very least we should be expecting of this group of players on a regular basis, he is a shit, shit manager but today he got it right and long may it continue(it won't).

I think he made some extremely poor decisions as well as good ones, but Chelsea weren't good (and no it's not because of us, they couldn't even get a pass right at the back ffs). I don't mind Pardew as long as we keep winning, if he wants to start Shola every week do so as long as we get 3p. I just don't trust him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all fair enough, but to deny him credit for beating Chelsea is mad. If people have made their mind up that they want him sacked ASAP no matter what then that's fair enough I suppose, a lot of evidence is available now.

I don't expect anyone to start loving Pardew all of a sudden, but he needs to get some credit. Getting a team reasonably well organised defensively and getting the players to work hard should be the minimum you expect. League one managers like Pardew do it all the time in FA cup ties against bigger clubs. Our win today was largely because of how poor Chelsea were (the worst I've seen them in a long time) and the individual quality of our players (Cabaye's free kick, Anita's excellent performance after a forced introduction due to injury).

He'll never be sacked under Ashley, fact. Put a true fan up there though who knows the club and I believe he'd have gone if we lost horribly today, which was hardly not out of the question going into the game. Gutless last few games, no clue, horrible line up, full-strength Chelsea. It seemed to be a recipe for that poisonous atmosphere after the first half of the 4-4. Think I should consider it the final straw with most fans rather than final nail in the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I'd like to give Pardew the credit for this I really would. But until he gets our side looking this compact and well drilled defensively against the lesser teams then I just can't. For me it's the typical big team are in town mentality of our players in that when we come up against Liverpool and now today Chelsea they are far more motivated. They work harder, are more worried about getting exposed so don't go missing from their positions etc (Santon/Debuchy). I mean if we had defended anywhere near as well as this in some of our other games, such as the Hull game and the Everton away game we could be having a great season.

Big Geordie Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Win aside, nothing has changed with regards to Ashley or Pardew. Pressure still needs to be kept up.
