KaKa Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Tough running drills? Are you actually kidding me? This guy couldn't be anymore archaic. Disgustingly out of his depth. This moron is definitely one of those clowns that just makes players run and run and run, and then work on defensive shape and set pieces. Get him out please.

Guest firetotheworks Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 The thing that always gets me more than anything is, during that spell at the end of 11/12 when we were: Krul Simpson Williamson Coloccini Santon Tiote Jonas Ben Arfa Cabaye Ba Cisse And, at times, playing some lovely football and going on a winning streak that saw us to 5th, he didn't think "okay, next season, Debuchy for Simpson, a new player in for Williamson and Anita in for Jonas." Instead he thought, "this needs to change." I can't get my head around someone being specifically that stupid, at all. Not just at Premier League manager level, just at all. People that have never watched a game of football before would know to not change that set up and especially that front three/four. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Indeed, HBA/Cisse/Ba was among the best attacks in the league especially with Cabaye sitting behind. Guy's a fucking idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 This is a man who once claimed Shola was as good as any striker he'd ever worked with. The headline of the article was "Geordie Tevez". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 He's a terrible manager! He wasn't strong enough to tell Ba he would be staying on the left for the team's benefit, and so tried to play both him and Cisse upfront, which never worked. He then went even more boneheaded, and started playing Cisse wide instead of Ba, because again he wasn't strong enough to manage Ba. It's essentially been downhill from then on. Even with the start of a new season and Remy essentially coming in to replace Ba. He's never thought to go back to that formation with Remy on the left, and stick to it, especially as Remy has looked great on the left when he's played there. He's completely clueless, there's no doubt about it. I honestly don't know how he's a manager. He isn't aware of what works well for the team, and never learns from past experiences. He's just really stupid. Ironic that he keeps harping on about needing smarter middle class players, as he's the one that is very unintelligent.

Jayson Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 It was Ba wasn't it? Essentially put him ahead of our side it seemed & tried to justify it on the radio as "Footballs not about formations, it's about pass & move" etc I think. I remember people specifically asking him why he'd stopped the 4-3-3 & he claimed it wasn't that important. Essentially he ignored the obvious & thought he had insight beyond it that everyone else was missing. Then we nearly got relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also claimed that we switched between formations all the time and that we had done at the end of that season as well. Lies of course, we were always 4231 at the end of that season with players staying in position (apart from when HBA and Ba switched sides occasionally) and last season we never once, not even for a moment played with Ba left, Cisse central and HBA right.

AlanSkÃrare Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 This is self-righteous, but I still feel some people don't "deserve" to want Pardew Out. Those of us who've argued it since ~Reading were urging proactivity as we could see this unfold at any given time due to his unmistakeable shitness. I was given an incredible amount of shit from other Swedish fans for my "negativity". Not seeing it then but turning around now, for the exact same reasons, is provoking.

Alternatively we could have signed a proper left winger and let Ba and Cisse compete for the striker position, but you are not allowed that many purples.

colinmk Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I think one of the reasons Cisse did so well was because he had the support of Ba coming in off that side. If you had put a normal left winger there I'm not sure it would have worked so well. Guess we will never know now..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knew this wouldn't go down well Probably because of what I encountered from most Swedish fans. Had to defend my opinion on Pardew way too much. This is some sort of personal revenge. I take it you stay away from the Swedish forums? Being ridiculed for an opinion that most people would come to accept 12 months later.

I'm sorry man, but self-righteous doesn't even begin to describe what you wrote there. I've wanted him out for a long time as well, and yeah I guess that Reading game was something of a turning point. But at the same time I've appreciated the concern for another managerial change, considering our history and especially our clueless owner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for one single second. I remember a random game where we beat spurs 2-1 & Ben Arfa got a pen running in from a corner. Think that was the last time he used it, obviously because it only helped us beat a champions league contender at that time. Winning manager of the season helped his ego to much, never does what's simple & that's all he can do well. Sad thing is with our players then that's all we needed.

When we were doing fairly well for the first half of the season and playing some decent stuff, were the ones who preached patience wrong then as well? Besides, the fans who hadn't turned then were every bit as powerless as they are now. Only one man can decide to give him the bullet, and he probably won't for obvious reasons. I just think calling people out like this is childish, but each to their own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
