TRon Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Injuries and Europa League - neither of them forces him to play hoof ball with Cissé on the wing and concede 68 goals. Not explanations nor are they excuses for what he served up last season. Pardew's inability to get us playing in a defined system as a team for the majority of his time here is what has raised doubts about his ability. He does appear to have chopped and changed his way to an eleven that look fairly well organised currently though. The test will come when we come up against a side that keeps Remy quiet. Hopefully as a team we can work goals through good attacking play as well as hitting teams on the break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully as a team we can work goals through good attacking play as well as hitting teams on the break. This is my main criticism. On the basis of the past 18 months, the manager employed at this club has been unsuccessful in learning his side how to attack or defend. We lost 19 league games last season, mainly as a result of that. If the recent upturn in form and results is a result of him revising his football approach or learning new ways of utilizing the talent at the club, then sure - go on and bring the club forward. On evidence of his career and the previous reoccurance of the same mistakes, he has a very long way to go before my belief is back with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Think which ever back four he picks today will probably end up in him getting criticised. If he benches MYM then we'll say we missed his pace and he didn't deserve to lose his spot. If he benches Colo then something like we missed his experience, he's the captain etc. I'm edging towards the idea we will miss Mapou slightly more.

Wallace Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 @sammatterface #NUFC AP says the criticism post the Man city games has been "replaced with the kind of unrealistic optimism we all meet to try and contain" What unrealistic optimism? All I hear is fans talking about the inconsistency of the team and wondering what side will turn up. Maybe expecting a top half finish is unrealistic now. For a manager who likes to portray himself as being in touch with the fans, he couldn't be more out of touch if he tried. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Oh fuck off Alan, you fucking charlatan. Everyone is just wondering when you're gonna fuck up and end the good run we're on. Expectation level is nil, other than the expectation that you don't have the tactical nous of a papoose with down's syndrome. Which is barely being met. Cunt.
