cp40 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Pardew has shown he is more than a match for the very best managers tactically - good to see him getting the recognition he deserves in national newspapers. I really can't see why Pardew's tactical nous could be called into question. He's a very tactical coach and has proven in some of the tightest situations against world class teams and coaches that he can mix it with the best. If I levelled anything against him it would be that he can be "over tactical" and I'd like to see a bit of the old Keegan "just go out and do the opposition" mind set from time to time. This season Pardew has done very well against the top sides (and managers), we ultimately lost at home to Man City and Arsenal but were well worth at least a point in both games, we deserved our home win against Chelsea and our away win at Old Trafford, and the home draw with Liverpool too. I haven't came away from any of those games dissapointed with the way we've set up and played (not to say I full agree with everything like), although some of the decision making mid game has been questionable. That's all good, but "Pardew has shown he is more than a match for the very best managers tactically" is the single thickest thing I think I've read this season How anybody can defend that with a straight face is beyond me, it's just complete shite. well, in fairness taking investment into account he has probably surpassed them in terms of the results and performances/ value for money. just saying like.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 If anything you're trying to say is in any way supporting the theory that Alan Pardew is as tactically sound as Pellegrini, Wenger, Rodgers and Mourinho then please don't expand..

Well if were accusing each other of "thickness" your first paragraph somewhat contradicts your second Nah, even in the face of a thickness accusation, I'll stand by my point that Pardew's problem is not his ability to spar tactically with the top coaches but his inability to let his teams loose more often.

What exactly is contradictory about what I said? He's had good performances against them this season, as in he's gotten his team to play well against theirs, I don't think that concludes that he is a "match for the very best managers tactically."

Hanshithispantz Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 FWIW he doesn't always "spar tactically with the top coaches," his record overall against the top sides is bang average.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Here's his record against the "top sides." He has an excellent record against Chelsea, home & away. A decent home record against Liverpool if we just forget that 6-0 ever happened, and a decent record against Man Utd, made to look better due to Moyes letting us win at Old Trafford for the first time in about 90 year. Man City and Arsenal just makes for grim viewing. How out of the ordinary any of that is I don't know, it looks decent enough though overall, not quite "wow he's always sparing tactically with the best managers" territory but decent enough.

Chelsea and Manu records are good aye, Liverpool have been fairly shite in recent times so I'd say results against them are average and the 0-6 was awful.

Cajun Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Bloody Cajun! He's a pest! So basically I moan when he isn't doing well and praise him when he is No, you jump over to defend him at every opportunity when he's doing well and tell everyone who still has concerns about him as a manager that they cannot possibly enjoy football and should probably pack the sport in. Also: "We win - LUCK! We lose - PARDEW!" As you can probably tell this has got to me I've always had concerns about him as a manager and often raise them. Some being Him breaking Tiote. Him breaking Ben Arfa. Him being spinless. The way this cowardice escalates when we play the mackems, we were always the ones up for it, they were always the bottlers but somehow he has managed to completely fuck this up. Some of his team selections. Not giving Gouffran a go through the middle while playing Remy there who looks better out wide.
