Dave Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/worldcup/alan-pardew-on-world-cup-2014-germany-have-the-nous-to-tame-lionel-messi-in-the-final-plus-the-truth-about-me-and-javier-mascherano-9602327.html At Newcastle I have great faith in Fabricio Coloccini, but we have also just last week announced two official vice-captains in Cheick Tiote and Siem de Jong, who was captain at Ajax, giving us three players from different areas of the pitch to take that bit of extra responsibility. Coloccini is a relatively quiet lad, who leads by example and presence and his calmness on the ball. The most vocal guy does not necessarily mean the best leader, although previously we had Kevin Nolan, who was very vocal in the dressing-room and a great organiser of the group. ... As ever [at this World Cup], reputations have been enhanced and diminished, and there have been some interesting tactical variations, including the virtual demise of 4-4-2 with two strikers up the middle. Let’s just hope for a majestic final to round it all off. ... The truth about me and Mascherano at West Ham When Javier Mascherano, a star for Argentina in the semi-final, came to West Ham with Carlos Tevez during my time as manager it was an unusual transfer contractually, as became widely known later; and with the new Icelandic owners then taking over the club, he became a victim of political pressure, did not play as much as he would have liked and was moved on to Liverpool soon after I left. But it is quite untrue to say that I didn’t rate him. Like Tevez, he was a terrific lad finding his feet in a new country and I’d be delighted for him to be a World Cup winner tonight.

Kimbo Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 So the "truth" isn't that he didn't rate him, it's that he just didn't want to play him because he had lost his feet??? Pretty sure not playing a foreign player is the best way to keep his feet lost, or whatever the fuck. Hayden Mullins!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh sorry it was Tevez with the lost feet, my eyes went all blurry and bloodshot reading Pardew's words. It's alright, just remember it wasn't the kings fault.

Dave Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I found the bit about the death of 4-4-2 and two strikers relatively interesting. He probably thinks he started that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Interesting how he points out that Germany are too talented a team to base their game plan around the opposition. Based on that logic, he must think Newcastle have the worst players in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicago_shearer Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Yet many coaches will have experienced a day, as I have, when you concede early, lose a second goal quickly and find that the mentality of the team has just been lost.

To me, that was his way of saying, De Jong is playing up top on his own, and we aren't signing another forward He must be looking forward to getting relegated then. Having watched his painful attempts to transition to passing football I don't see how he can build any sort of team without a big centre forward, and by that I mean one who is good in the air.

Dokko Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Got to thank a brilliant World Cup for its distraction, but come tomorrow it's back to club football focus, and all I can think of is how shit it's going to be with this twat in charge. Ashley has done a brilliant job of dividing the club, I can't even make my mind up what I realistically want to see happen this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
