Mick Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 He said it was his fault. He blamed the kids by taking the blame for playing them, as if nothing else was wrong, as if the kids were to blame for our shitty defending and our shitty midfield display. He didn't take the blame for us playing the same was as we have done for most of his tenure here and our 11 players looking like complete strangers to each other. A quote which is often attributed to Albert Einstein is fitting. "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." By that definition, Pardew is insane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 If he's still around we can expect to hear very similar bullshit following our inevitable early exit from both cups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozy Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I hope we just play 4-4-2 from now on. It's what Pardew understands and at least it would mean the end of the atrocious 4-2-3-1/4-4-1-1 shite. Put good players in a 4-4-2 and it can still work at the highest level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 The formation still means nothing imo. I used to bang on and on about him playing 4231, thinking it would change things, but it's got nothing to do with that. It's all about him and his negative, reactionary approach to everything. We played 442 for most of 12/13 as well like, and I've never seen such shit in my life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is basically that I'd rather see a proper pressing 4-4-2 than whatever the hell yesterday was supposed to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Have we played 433 since the season we finished 5th? Maybe we have, difficult to tell sometimes. Certainly haven't played it enough since we don't have any wingers you'd really want to see in a 442. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 De Jong and Cabella would be wasted in a 4-4-2 for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 De Jong and Cabella would be wasted in a 4-4-2 for me. It will end up being 4-2-3-1 until we get hammered then back to basics of 4-6-0, however it could work if De Jong and Cabella show their talent and Riviere looks decent also. Hope the 3 can support him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 No Remy to score goals and a defence that will inevitably concede more goals this season than last. I see not good things. Can't really argue with that at the moment. I think we've bought enough potentially exciting players but that's not the same as having proven goal scorers. Add to that a lack of a dominating centre back and clueless coaching and we'll do well to finish top 10 again IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
