BlueStar Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 “I know people might look at the Liverpool (0-6) or Sunderland (0-3) at home, but Brighton away was the most disappointing because the team I was putting out at the time wasn’t representative of a Newcastle United team. “But that’s the best team I could have played. “So YES, I want to win a cup.” Something about that just tickles me Sounds like a quote from Hello magazine, splashed across an article in a neon star "YES, we want a baby!"

Guest reefatoon Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Of course he hasn't learned any lessons, he thinks everything is going to be all tickety boo since we are not in Europe this season. Nothing formation/player wise will change at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Reading the Sissoko quote it does seem to suggest the formation won't be a 4-3-3. My guess would be a 4-2-3-1 again. Depends on who we sign or sell though i guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I agree with the 4-2-3-1, which I do like so long as the correct players are in position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 4-2-3-1 is fine as long as we're reaosonably fluid and dynamic. Sissoko's influence won't need to be as great with HBA back in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Pardew: On occasions my tactics were wrong 12 Jul 2013 08:47 Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew answers YOUR questions as he admits to making mistakes last season Share on print Share on email Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew training at St James' Park, 10 May 2013Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew training at St James' Park, 10 May 2013 Alan Pardew is not afraid to admit he got his tactics wrong with Newcastle United last season. However, he refutes any suggestions that he sets his teams up to play “boring football” and is eager to provide the brand of attacking football that wooed Newcastle fans during the halcyon days of Kevin Keegan and Bobby Robson. Of course, Pardew is very much his own man, with his own ideas. And he’s a manager who has respect from close managerial counterparts such as Manchester United boss David Moyes and long-term friend and returning Chelsea gaffer Jose Mourinho. Yet while there are plenty of Premier League managers who are media-friendly, Pardew has gone a step beyond and tried hard to communicate with the club’s fanbase and the local community. The United manager did keep a dignified silence after the arrival of Joe Kinnear as director of football. But, back at his desk, this week Pardew sat down and answered YOUR questions as voted for in the summer’s Big Toon Survey. Clearly one of the factors that frustrated fans so much last season was the amount of chopping and changing on the tactics board. The previous campaign, in 2011/12, had resulted in two successful tactical systems. A 4-4-2 formation used Demba Ba and Shola Ameobi or Leon Best as two towers in attack before a switch to the fans’ favourite 4-3-3 – which helped chalk up a six-game winning streak – saw Papiss Cisse as the central striker supported by wide players either side of him as United romped to a fifth-placed finish. One of the most popular questions in the Toon Survey in May was about formations. And when asked by the fans if he had a clear idea of the formation he wants Newcastle United to play, Pardew answered: “What we have to find is a defined way of playing. “Sometimes that can go astray when confidence is low. “It is going to be about our game-plan of how are we going to score and affect the match. “That is something I will be working hard on in pre- season. We need the right personnel in the right areas to do that.” United fans crave the days of The Entertainers again. But Pardew is determined to find his own way. However, it is little wonder that fans ask: Why did NUFC not play more attacking/positive football against teams that were defensively weak? Pardew responded: “I have never been accused of setting up boring teams. “Not ever – until last year. “All my teams have always played on the front foot and are trying to win the game. “I have always set my teams up like that. “But we got into situations last year where in some of the games we were hanging on. “That was through, I think, a lack of conditioning at times because of the games we were playing. “Teams have a different mentality when things just aren’t going well.” United fans were left stunned by results such as the 6-0 loss against Liverpool at St James’ Park and the 3-0 defeat at the hands of bitter rivals Sunderland. Pardew, though, is brave enough to face up to criticism. Fans asked: Do you think you got your tactics wrong? To which Pardew replied: “I am sure on occasion my tactics were wrong. “I am not going to be egotistic enough to think that every time I put out a team and I set it up that it’s going to be perfect. “But having said that, some of the criticism we had last year, particularly myself, I felt was unfair. “If I was that tactically naive, how did we finish fifth the year before? Sometimes it is about confidence in players.” Pardew feels that particular characteristic plays a big part in a team’s success – or lack of it. He said: “Confidence can affect whether they make those forward runs and make something happen. “That comes from results and belief. “So sometimes when players aren’t at their attacking best it’s because they are lacking confidence. “Maybe something is inhibiting them. “You have to understand that sometimes that confidence can get lost. “Sometimes it can be me or sometimes it can be the feeling within the player. “It is difficult question to answer, but I hope that I have answered it the best way I can.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 No manager is going to say they set up to play boring football. Even Tony Pulis and Allardyce don't say that. He has a very valid point about the importance of confidence, the question is why he couldn't lift the players, and if he can this time around.
