Alan Pardew

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

Not sure how much he got entirely wrong here today, really.  Maybe not taking off Cisse sooner?

 

We weren't hoofing it that much tbh. Play was along the deck for the most part. Defending was a shambles but how much of that do you want to put down to him and how much do you want to say it was botched assignments or panic by the players? He's not supposed to be able to make them perfect.

 

Preparation for defending set pieces was atrocious. And we didn't adjust after the half.

 

We resorted to just clipping long balls from half way-ish up the pitch from about 75 minutes onwards.

[Mole_Toonfan]

Outdone by Steve Bruce.  Enough said.

 

He was outdone by his RB having the worst performance i have seen in years.... nothing to do with Steve Bruce.

Once he went 4-4-2 we just hoofed, not that we played that much better 4-3-3 but it was still better.

Bruce stopped Ben Arfa and we had no plan B whereas Huddlestone had the freedom of St James Park for 90 mins. Pardew just didn't have the answers as usual.

Of course it was Mole, Bruce set his team up to play down our right, put our RB under pressure. To not noticed and give Bruce his dues for that is daft like.

[BONTEMPI]

Spouting shite about kneejerk reactions. Time for you to fuck off you inept arse licking cockney prick.

 

Fucking pathetic.

[loki679]

I'm the last person to defend this fuckwit but I'm not sure there's much he can do if the defence decides its clown day at SJP.

Aye that's another knock against him tbf. Resorted to 4-4-2. And brought Tiote on. Which probably invites hoofballs as colo/mym would rather send it over Tiote's head than pass to his feet where he'll spin into an opposition player.

We had no shape when we made the changes, the gaps in the middle of the park were huge.

Well, tbf. Targeting Debuchey was a fairly obvious option. We're playing 4-3-3 with a narrow midfield and only HBA to help him out.

 

It's going to happen a lot because, for the oppostion it works.

We didn't even get it wide to put it in, we hoofed from straight which is so much easier to defend. Just poor play all round.

We weren't playing 3 up front, Cisse was up front on his own until we went 4-4-2.

Bang on.  Picked out our weak link, had his players harass us in the middle of the park where our passing was incredibly sloppy.

[Wil]

No bollocks tonight, time for taking some responsibility for how the whole thing imploded.

come on Bimpy i know you like to beat Pardew with the hoof stick and so do i , but we havent played hoof ball for a while,

 

We simply don't play anything.  There is a distinct lack of control in our play.  When we came in 1st half with a lead, i couldnt help thinking what just happened.  Throughout the 1st half, both sissoko and cabaye bombed forward when we already had 3 men up there already.  All was left in the midfield was one diddy man Anita.  Even he was going forward at times.

4-5-1/4-3-3 Defend/Attack is how it's supposed to work.

Everton away next? Fuuuuuuucck. Going to have nightmares about conceding set pieces/corners

Just shut the fuck up you helmet.

looked like 4-1-5 at times.

You got me wrong there mate, we didn't hoof at all until it went 2-2, and we haven't for most of this season. But today after Cabaye went off and their 3rd, we just hoyed it in from everywhere, it was a panic mode.

There's this position football clubs have to deal with these sort of things...it's called a football manager Alan.

[Guest]

Shocking from 25 minutes onwards. Needs a result against Everton to get back on track.

[Interpolic]

Before it'll start, it wasn't really his fault today.

 

Knew we'd see comments like this, more evidence that some people think the manager's job begins and ends with picking the team. Yes, the players were poor today but Pardew needs to share the responsibility for that, and then some. Particularly when we've pulled out that trick of being in a good position at half time then going to shit.
