Parky Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Pardew is part of the problem, but not buying players to a particular game plan is the other half of it. The longer we keep buying value or players for any position cause their contracts are running out, the team will never feel like a team as there is clearly little aforethought. Look at today. We didn't have a proper striker (finisher) on the park, no wingers (I see Cabella as a loose forward can play either side)...a rookie left back and one proper CD. The mf holding players Anita and Collback are too similar and Sissoko (I still have no idea what his best positon is)...If he's meant to be supporting the striker he doesn't do it, he can't play on the wing as he can't cross etc... Gouff who should be a bit part player in any PL season has become a regular and I have no idea where he was meant to be playing. He might be that rare bird that defends, mops up everywhere and is on hand to fluff one chance a game.. Yours confused. P. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Geordiesned Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 This could go in a few threads so Mods feel free to move it or create a new "I spoke to a complete mong" thread. I met a mate tonight for a bite to eat and a few drinks who I hadn't seen in a while; he lives in York and rarely heads back up here. I should have known it was a bad decision as I was sober having been over in Cumbria and he'd been out all day. Anyway, he was mortal, as was his brother and was a bit of an embarrassment. I won't go into that though as it was a lad who was out with them (a mate of my mate's brother) who is the reason for the post. I was sat next to him in the restaurant and we started chatting about the match. I hadn't seen any of it having been doing family stuff today but had since read match reports, the match thread on here, etc. The next 5 minutes were purely about the match but then he moved onto Pardew and later Ashley. Before I even go into his views I can tell you that I'm not a violent person but I really had to restrain myself from picking up a fork and ramming it into his eyeball! The usual bullshit clichés were trotted out: "Pardew's hands are tied" "If Ashley hadn't come along we'd have done a Leeds or a Portsmouth" ...but the delusional fucker went further. Apparently Ashley "probably" did do due diligence and the reports/quotes/etc that he didn't "can't be believed". "Ashley has been very clever in transferring the debt to himself so he doesn't have to pay interest to te bank." I pointed out that he in all likelihood wouldn't have bought us in the first place if he had in actual fact carried out due diligence. I'm wrong apparently as this lad " refuses to believe that Ashley would gamble" on something like that despite the fact that he's a FUCKING GAMBLER! Back to Pardew's hands being tied: apparently the 2nd half of last season was purely down to Cabaye's sale. Obviously I called "bullshit" on this as blaming the results on the loss of one player was completely nonsensical and showed up the ineptitude of the manager. But no, again I'm wrong as Cabaye was "that good". I stopped even answering back now and prayed everyone would eat up quickly so I could get out of there. He still proceeded to talk absolute shite for another 15/20 minutes though, telling me all about Pardew's attacking football and how the "only" difference between us and Man City was that Aguero's shot last week came back to him from Krul allowing him to score whereas De Jong's today didn't. Oh and I should mention that this lad owns his own business so 'apparently' is meant to be intelligent! Fucking window licking wanker! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Pardew said: “A lot of our new offensive players are trying too hard. We need to have that super confidence in front of goal. I am sure there are goals in this team. It doesn’t over-concern me. I thought we had control today, particularly the second half where we absolutely dominated but couldn’t find the moment.” Over-concerns the shit out of me.

Mick Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Impossible job. It is an impossible job that bit is true. It's only impossible for him though because he's a shite manager, a better manager wouldn't find the job impossible in the way our limited manager does.

nufcjb Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Wouldn't it be nice if our next league game against Palace and Palace have got a new manager- Pardew? Heck, if there is a clause saying we must let Palace win, I would take it as long as this dancing dickhead is gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I'd take the opposite of Souness coming here next week if it meant Pardew was gone. Him on gardening leave and in the stand just waiting to step in at Palace and then them winning 3-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 What was the consensus on why he perseveres with such bullshit? My theory is that he's always worried about the counter attack and in his mind a floated ball to the back post is less likely to end up rebounding to the opposition high up the pitch than a fast, whipped in ball. As if he believes in defence being the best form of attack, rather than the more popular and more correct, opposite version. He's useless and hasn't got a clue how to attack or break against other teams so he can't get something through to the players that he doesn't understand himself. It's a bit like me trying to tell my wife how to use the oven, the dish washer, the washing machine, the kettle. I don't know how to use them so I couldn't tell her how to use them either. I just tell her to wash the dishes and make meals etc. without going in to detail, he will do the same. This analogy is absolutely perfect imho, spot on. We're a shadow of a football team, a poor copy, it's like something on FM where you're putting 11 players on the pitch but don't bother doing the tactics or training bit beyond choosing a basic option in order to be able to press the start button to kick off.

merlin Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Surely this will be the season that when we collapse as per usual people will realise Pardew is the problem as at least everyone seems to be under the delusional that we've spent some money. I wouldn't bank on it - the intellect of quite a number of younger NUFC fans these days is seriously questionable. The very fact that people swallow all the rubbishy propaganda that the club emits on a regular basis tells you that, but another factor is that many fans don't want to face the truth because to do so would mean they have to face the fact that they are being conned and nobody likes to be shown to be a fool. Its easier to blame Ashley for starving Pardew of money(partly true, but even if he didn't, you wouldn't trust this clown to spend it wisely or be able to organize the side and get the best out of each player) than to admit that the manager who you regularly ask to 'Giz a wave' is actually the Emperor wearing his supposed 'new clothes'. It would take a run of around 6 successive home hammerings to get anything LIKE a major crowd revolt against Pardew and the team is packed with midfielders aimed at preventing such events happening. People will still accept narrow defeats or draws at SJP until Christmas - wait and see. There are very few goals in this team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diddimz Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Start of a rant, but im sick of seeing the line that Pardew has "done well with the resources hes got" on that facebook page, in the last few years he's had a dutch international keeper, a centre back with over 35 caps for argentina, a young fullback with caps for Italy whose stagnated under him, no shortage of international players in the squad from france. A striker who destroyed the german league and looked amazing when he started with us. a defensive midfielder who has justifiably been rated at 20mil in the past. In Hatem Ben Arfa, we have one of the most talented players ever to pull on our shirt and we've brought in talented youth from abroad with the promise to develop them into premier league standard players (why else would they come here of course!). And still he's managed to almost relegate us with this squad, and then to break all sorts of records that we never wanted to see broken. He's dragged our name through the dirt on multiple occassions, head butting a player is one of the most unprofessional things i think i have ever seen in any sport. To say that he's done well with the resources he's got is a fucking joke. [\rant] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
