LRD Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Little bit sick of his Shola obsession now, he is a forward and hasnt got a single league goal in 2013, other players would be out team - Cisse for example, although he has 5+ Gomis is becoming more and more the player I want even if he isn't that great. We desperately need a forward with strength to get Shola out of the side. Especially when a target man is never far from his tactics. Just give him what he wants for once and get rid of Shola.

He'll have to find out where he's hidden Jonas' 'special' Pardew photos before he can drop him. Basic error by Jonas not making copies before he left for Argentina...now Shola won't give them back.

Mick Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I see his reasoning behind it, Remy hasn't looked his best up front on his own and clearly he doesn't have faith in Cisse to play at all atm or Gouffran up front its frankly more down to p*ss poor squad building Shola's even considered. Remy has only scored 3 goals while Shola has been on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remy looks better when Cisse is up front IMO. Plus Cisse is a much better striker than Shola in any case. We had a couple of good games with Shola up front and as soon as other sides adapted to our long ball crap we have hit the buffers again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 This guy has no conviction and ultimately it's his most depressing trait. Even when his supposed favoured 4-4-2 was going well, he started messing about with that as well. As a manager we still don't know what he wants from his team, when he sets them out to play. Even Tim Sherwood, who is fresh on the scene from coaching the Tottenham Academy, has laid out his philosophy, do or die. 4-4-2, width, on the front foot. It's clear to see what his approach is. It's all very gung ho, and I'm not sold on the guy at all, but at least he knows what he wants, and is just going for it. How would you describe the current Newcastle team's play? I'm honestly not capable of describing it at all. The best I can do is describe it as being hopeful. There is no clear approach or purpose. It's very disappointing. I wouldn't say Sherwood is 442 tbh..... at least from the Man Utd game, it was nothing like 4-4-2 at all in reality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remy has only scored 3 goals while Shola has been on the pitch. I know he has Shola in so he can hit it long a bit more but Shola is and always has been terrible in the aor.

Disco Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 If nowt else I think it's deeply apparent he doesn't know how to rotate a squad, his best runs always come with a settled XI playing a certain style with few midweek games when this changes he struggles fairly badly. Something he needs to work on but probably won't because he can get away with it by using cheap excuses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Alan Pardew says that he has sympathy for Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert. The former Borussia Dortmund and Celtic star indicated that some clubs in the Premier League could do without the FA Cup. Both Jose Mourinho and Roberto Martinez - who have both won the FA Cup at Chelsea and Wigan respectably - disagree with Lambert’s comments. But Pardew said he can understand why clubs fighting against relegation find balancing the FA Cup and the Premier League a tough act. Pardew said today: “It’s not fair on Premier League managers and I sympathise with Paul (Lambert) and with a lot of the teams down the bottom of the league where they are going to be looking at their survival. “That is financially massive. “For us fortunately we have got ourselves in a good position. “And we can attack the game, which we will. “We are going to use some fresh players because of the nature of where it’s at. “That needs to be looked at in my opinion if they want the FA Cup to go back to its former glories.” Lambert had been asked if clubs could do without the cup and replied: If they were being honest, they probably would do. “If you can get through, then absolutely I want to get through, I don’t want to not get through, but your main one is the league. “That is the nature of it. If anyone says any differently, then I am not so sure they will be telling the truth because the Premier League is the most vital thing that anyone wants to get into and we are no different.” But other bosses have not supported Lambert’s controversial views. Pardew said: Paul has a right to express his opinion and a right to think differently to me. “For teams without European competition, playing 38 games a season, I don’t see a reason for those clubs to not try to win matches. “Even for the smallest clubs, where it is difficult to reach a final, the FA Cup has a special meaning.” Martinez said: “Every manager knows what they have got in their squad, but it’s a unique competition in its unpredictability with the philosophy that anyone is entitled to chase the dream.” Meanwhile under pressure boss Sam Allardyce of West Ham said: “My view of the competition is that it’s fabulous and has great history and tradition. “There is no doubt about that. “But if you are in the position we are and have the injuries that we have, then there is only one major priority at this football club - the Premier League. “That won’t change for any football club, irrespective of who they are.” http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/alan-pardew-sympathy-paul-lambert-6466897?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 If you listen to Pardew even a 38 game league season is too much, and merely existing in the Premiership so fucking tough that all other games of any kind will threaten relegation.

Skirge Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Alan Pardew admits he wants a new striker while Montpellier dismiss talk of Cabella leaving Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew admits he wants a new striker in the January transfer window due to the lack of options in the final third Alan Pardew admits he wants a new striker in the January transfer window. The Newcastle United manager is concerned at the lack of options in the final third. Loic Remy’s loan deal expires in May while Shola Ameobi’s contract is up and doesn’t look like being renewed. Pardew said today: “I do think in the striker department is an area we could possibly look at because Shola’s contract ends, Remy is not our player and that leaves Papiss on his own, really. “We should have more than that, so that’s an area I am looking at.” Pardew has yet to make a permanent signing in January but the window has just opened but speaking on business in general he said: “All I do know is we are financially in a good position. “I have said already that we will be strategic in our transfer dealings, and that’s what we are going to do.” Meanwhile Montpellier chairman Laurent Nicollin has denied claims United touched base on Remy Cabella. He said: “There is absolutely no contact with Newcastle. “The plan is him not leaving in January but in June.” http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/alan-pardew-admits-wants-new-6467416 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
