BrettNUFC Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I've said on here, we'll get beat off City, Villa, Everton, I think we'll win on Saturday so I'm now spinning things? It's just an opinion. Awful first half, much better second. Last night was a disaster, haven't said otherwise but still feel we have the ability within our side to do well and I'm in the thought of we can beat Cardiff. I think we'll win at Cardiff too. I think he won't be scared of them and will select a side to play to our strengths with the right players in their best positions. I just wish he'd do this every game though. Ok we may get beat but at least get beat having a go. Very much agreed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I still dont think the 2nd half was that good. Bare minimum as someone else said. If everton had of needed or wanted more they could have battered us. They allowed us a foot hold in the game. Our goals have glossed over an awful result. I cant see us getting anything at cardiff. Theyll be rocking after their result this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Just watched his interview after the game yesterday, and he did seem genuinely annoyed/angry at that first half performance. I think his teams the last couple of league games have been what the majority on here would of gone with aswell, just hasn't happened for us on the pitch. I did get the feeling that he's prepared to make some more changes ahead of the Cardiff game, which I do support. Sounds like some players have cost themselves a starting position this weekend. Have a feeling he'll get it right against Cardiff like. We can all see the first half performance against Everton wasn't good enough. Don't think most on here would agree with him making so many changes to the team that beat Villa. Not only personal but positional as well. He tried to be tactically clever, when-ever Pardew has done this it's got egg all over him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Its not just the first half against everton. Its the majority of last season, especially the run in. It was mancity away this season, west ham at home, 70 minutes against fulham. Shipping 3 awful goals against hull. its a mess! Weve had one good game at villa. And thats the only stand out game i can think of in a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 The 2nd half performance was decent but I feel some people are over exaggerating how good it was purely because it was so much better than that 1st half. Facts are, even a half decent manager would be getting far more out of that team than what Pardew is. 6 games played including games v West Ham, Fulham, Villa and Hull and only 7 points to show for it. Can't see anything other than another relegation struggle in all honesty unless we get a decent manager but of course that will never happen as long as Ashley is here.

Lotus Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I didn't see anything last night to give me confidence against Cardiff. I'd be looking for the exact opposite of what we turned up with yesterday. Christ sur un vélo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thats the only stand out game i can think of in a long time. man city - total capitulation west ham - non-performance, can't break down away team fulham - they barely showed up, struggle to break them down and score a late winner to hide the poor performance villa - gave us the run of the park and we beat them, however they arguably missed more and better chances than us in the game despite being shite and having the worst home record in the league hull - get taken apart on the counter, no answers to tactical changes made by bruce everton - change setup to suit everton, murdered, score a couple of goals when the other team has switched off to make it look better than it is this is a pattern that repeats itself - even the season we finished 5th it was the same, we were just tighter at the back and ba/cisse were belting in goals on their own....all of this was the same last season as we well know i think it's time that everyone accepted things are not going to change with pardew like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 The only real difference in the two halfs for me was, we pressed them and put them under pressure in the 2nd half. They were still the better side throughout imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I don't know why this stuff is even being discussed. We all know Pardew tactically is extremely limited and sets the side up in a way that seemingly doesn't suit the majority of the players we have. We all would prefer a more talented manager to help fulfil the potential of the squad - biggest issues are the fact that there's a strong chance of Kinnear taking over (at least for a short time) and we have Ashley to choose the proper replacement (oh Tony Pulis is unemployed...how lovely...) I have no faith in the powers that be appointing someone better than Pardew. Which given the choice, seems almost impossible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Cabaye's goal isn't even worth talking about in terms of us moving forward as a team or a football club. It was a good strike, but it's the sort of individual goal that shouldn't be relied upon, but is by Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the aspect of his tenure that is most confounding. How often do we show flashes of improving, utilising the abilities of the players, and playing good football only to see this last for one match or even less than one match?

Foluwashola Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Dissecting the amount of acceptable minutes of football played is a pet hate of mine. If you win a match, it was a good 90 minutes. Sadly we haven't won many matches Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishMagpie Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Was that the first away match that big mike has been at in a long time no? Wonder if he was just reminding Pardew that they're watching him (or maybe he just had a free night off). Convinced myself that another performance like last night on Saturday in Cardiff then Mike's gonna pull the trigger. He doesn't want to win anything but will want to stay in the premiership, keeping Pards in post will seriously put that in jeopardy. Plus gives us the international break to get a replacement kinda settled in a bit before the 'pool match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

W4 D1 L2 problem for him is that 2 of them have been in league cup so the main thing he's judged on (league performance) still looks woeful...frankly i wouldn't have included those games in the same way i'd probably omit man city from the coming bloodbath Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly we haven't won many matches 180mins instead of 210 then. You can play well and draw IMO though, just as you can win and not play well for the majority - see the Fulham game.
