Pardew warns under-performing Newcastle stars to expect changes in attempt to avoid another St James' Park horror show

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew was so angered by his team’s surrender and capitulation in their last home game, he surprised even his own players when he let go in the home dressing room.

 

It was the fifth straight defeat at St James’ Park but that 4-0 reverse to a rampant Spurs side possibly hurt more than the derby defeat for Pardew. He had expected a reaction to Sunderland’s comfortable 3-0 win among his depleted squad. And he didn’t get one.

 

If there has been an element of ‘no more Mr Nice Guy’ to Pardew’s mood since that defeat last week, the Newcastle manager did not deny it on Friday.

 

And Pardew says his team selection for Aston Villa’s visit on Sunday - with Moussa Sissoko, Hatem Ben Arfa, Davide Santon, Steven Taylor and Sylvain Marveaux’s places all in jeopardy - will still reflect his anger at that performance.

 

Pardew said: ‘Forget about any individual, the most important thing is the club and that performance did not represent the club, quite frankly. I am hurt by the Tottenham performance.

 

‘Your relationship does change with players because you give them faith and then you take it away by leaving them out of the team and you have to give credibility to that.

 

‘I can forgive and I always leave my door open, I have never really shut a door on any player but if it gets to a stage where I feel it has crossed the line, then I will not be using that particular player as often.

 

‘The reaction is what I expected but it really is irrelevant. It does not matter what goes on on the training ground because the fans have not seen that. It is what turns up on Sunday that is important, otherwise it will be empty words.

 

‘In this city, it is difficult when you are not winning home games. I don't care whether you are top or bottom of the league, in the championship or even when you are fifth, you cannot lose at home here. It means everything to our fans and we need to understand that and play under that pressure.’

He's so full of shit :lol: I often read his tripe and am convinced that no-one is taking it in anymore, but some lad I go to the gym with thinks "he's a future England manager". How, just how, do 100% of Newcastle fans not see through him.

Pretty incredible he's publicly blaming the players for your poor form.

 

He's like the anti-Mourinho. Mourinho will do everything he can to deflect blame/attention away from his players, whereas Pardew actively seeks to pass it onto them :lol:

Ben Arfa and Marveaux's place is in jeopardy because of the spurs game? ???  Two players who didnt start and never do when there's  even close to full eleven available..  Yeah ok mr pardew you utter c***.

 

He's trying to look tough by taking on players he doesn't want to play anyway, the man is a total fraud.
