alexthegreat Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 good stuff again from Pardew, 3 out of 3. He prefers to close games out rather than go for the kill - no complaints here as long as it delivers 3 points. And when he has a selection of attackers that includes Shola Ameobi as a realistic starter, who can blame him for that mentality? 12 months ago we were a long ball team with an incoherent strike force up front, and it was horrible to watch. In the last 8 months or so he has tactically outwitted both Hiddink and Mourinho, and the team has been absolutely transformed - the ball is almost always on the deck, even with Williamson in the team. If he can get a result against West Brom then that will be 4 wins in a row, and will surely guarantee a manager of the month award to go with his manager of the year award. He is doing a very good job and deserves our full support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually agree with a fair chunk of this, and i say that as someone who grew to detest Pardew last season because of the style of football. I disagree with the 'no complaints here as long as it delivers 3 points.'. I like football played the right way and to be fair Pardew is attempting to do that as you said later in your post, about us being a long ball team last season. I dont accept it's because of Shola and lack of options that you get deeper and deeper and dont attack teams because you're 2-0 up. It's Pardew inability top see the opposition has changed and are getting at us because they have just been given a bollocking. But through gritted teeth, he is doing a fairly good job, the table doesn't lie. He has my support as our manager as i support Newcastle, he certainly doesn't have it as a person, as he's proved time and time again he's an arse licking, two faced, lying wanker.

Have you not read any of my previous posts in this very thread? Or anyone else's? He can have 4 wins in a row and still needs shot. Not the long-term answer, he shouldn't even be here right now.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 If only we'd pay the right money and bring in a half decent manager instead of this fraud. Spot on. We're operating below our capacity merely because of him and his f***ing have what we hold attitude against sides worse than us. Below our capacity. We'll be at most three points off the top four by the end of the weekend. People just like to complain about him. We just like to complain about a manager who has two CMs that start games for France yet we can't control games at home to Norwich and Hull? Wow. I thought the squad wasn't good enough, Sissoko was overrated, and the transfer policy had produced a team full of pieces that didn't fit. This is what was being said in September. What has changed? I don't know, derby game aside, I've been quite impressed with our play in general since the start of October. NUFC have come out from the start and been the better team in just about every match during this period. I'd agree that we have had a problem with tiring, sitting back, and pressing at a lesser rate in the second halves of several matches, but these haven't been false results at all, imo. I'd understand if it the team had stolen one goal and spent the whole match holding on, but Norwich barely threatened until the last ten minutes.

Lets get behind him and hope he can keep it going. Fair point, the football is better but the overall style and attacking movement still needs much work, quite sure he hasn't the ability to address that long term. Hence people saying he's not the answer. But result and table position wise, you cant argue, we're where most on here say we should be.(8th) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 It won't change unless we stop getting results. As was stated pre-match, it's his usual rinse-and-repeat steps. Stick with something until we lose, then start again with something else. His current idea being a flat 4-4-2 featuring Shola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I haven't got that angry with him much this season apart from the derby. But the 2nd half really pissed me off..... there is no reason to sit back and give them a helping hand to back into the game we should be relentless in that situation and kill Norwich off. I would just think nothing off it, but it happens far too often. I really wish he would learn from it but almost always we get a lead and we invite pressure and make things difficult for ourselves.
