AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I agree bimpy, but a lot of people want to get stuck in, play it safe and play percentage football as well. England is absolutely full of them, at every level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Why would you want to be football manager and have a defensive team, play in a way that is against everything football should be about. In turn taking away any kind of fun for the fans in the process. Baffles me like. Football is about winning too many, this type of football often wins or at least doesn't lose.

Guest icemanblue Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 This place is going to need prozac if our set penises and football is the same as last seasons, call me old fashioned but i like my football to be entertaining. There's one thing i've never got, when you play football as a lad you want to win, you want to score goals, you want to pass the ball about. Pardew and managers like him just want to hoof, defend and win a war of attrition.

TRon Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I wonder what Pardew's going to do differently this season to what he's done the rest of his career? Suddenly start coaching pass and move football? Start fancying technical players over jumpers and tacklers overnight? Abandon playing strikers on the wing because he's now seen the light? Can't wait.

I know i get that but it's a boring, brainless and kind of cowardly way to do it imo. A way that needs less skill. I just dont get how Pardew and his ilk, watch a game back and think, "well that was ok". I really don't get managers who discouraged passing and freedom in their teams play, i just don't understand it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dontooner Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Seriously things just can't get worst with "Pardew's Hoofball" . Imo we have the most regressive playing style in the whole league. If Kinnear sticks it up Pardew's Ass when we play poor ... its better than Pardew lying in my face telling me we playing a good brand of forward thinking football. I rather face a honest sinner than a lying hypocrite . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Ossie used to do that but had young players. Manager like Pardew have decent players who can attack and pass, entertain. I know it's a romantic vibe, so what, why can't it be like that. Football is my lifes passion, and for me it should played in the right way. Well the way i see how it should be anyhoo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm saying it doesn't minimise the risk of losing games and its not romanticising football to expect a better quality brand. The logic is flawed in itself as Pardew almost lost his job by playing ultra defensive/rancid football In theory, and if executed correctly in practice, it does exactly that. I'm not arsed about the rest. It's a pointless discussion, as I imagine 99.4% of football fans would like to watch attractive, attacking football.

duo Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I predict no change. There will be no change... Pardew is clueless...only knows how to play one way. What you have to ask yourself though is do you prefer him to Joke in ear? It's like he's waiting in the wings to pounce. I have no doubt in my mind that if Ashley hadn't given Pardew an 8 year contract Joke in ear would be our manager now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
