r0cafella Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Quality stuff that. Pardew clearly isn't award that risks need to be taken to create chances. Let's get 11 cattermoles in and see how well we do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Games like today show up the frailties of the manager and the squad. A side there to be beaten but we manager to shoot ourselves in the foot and the manager does his best to keep us in the back foot. Still a decent haul so far but results like today don't really surprise me, we always struggle to put away sides that we should be beating or certainly not losing to. It's for that reason that I can still see the Mackems coming to St James to turn us over despite how shit they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhoywhonder Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Their first win in 10 matches. :thup: Was inevitable. IIRC Jones has scored his one and only WBA goal against us too. We're just too kind sometimes..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Damn just watched that interview with Pardew, ffs man you were happy with the performance, sending off changed the game, fuck off you idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Up to the sending off we had something like 70% possession but most of it was passing backwards and forwards across the back 4 with no movement in front. What's new ? That is the default setting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Haven't seen the game and don't intend to watch it - we have had so many of this type of result/performances against sides like WBA over the years after a decent run that most of us who have followed the club for many years have come to expect it. I actually thought we would lose the next 2 PL games after Arsenal and it looks almost certain that we will. In addition, the absence of Colo and Debuchy is going to hit us hard over the succeeding weeks and games v Norwich & W.Ham will be far from easy with the set up we will have. Debuchy appears to have been stupid in getting sent off but he has been excellent over several weeks now whereas some players have consistently been average or worse over that period. I will not comment on HBA's part in the pen because I haven't seen it but I have my own views about the player although I would like to see him in a better side/playing for a better manager before I pass final judgement....I suspect that not too many top PL sides would sign him though - we shall see. We all knew it was a matter of time before the good run came to an end because the squad lacks vital quality in important positions and certainly strength in depth - this is not going to change any time soon for the reasons we know all too well so people had better get used to this sort of result coming along and probably, a run of poor results after a run of good ones...that is what happens with NUFC and has done over the years apart from under KK during promotion/PL seasons and SBR after he got the side sorted out. The FA Cup game is not going to be any easier either after Cardiff's determined performance against Arsenal and the likelihood of Solskjaer taking over as manager before then - again, we shall see......Pardew has form in FA Cup ties......
